It wasn’t until our last meet­ing with Marisa + Josh that they told us they were plan­ning to forego wed­ding videog­ra­phy alto­geth­er. That was until they stum­bled upon our work.

It’s not the first time a cou­ple has shared this sen­ti­ment with us but, being cre­atives them­selves, M+J spe­cial­ly picked up on some of the intri­ca­cies that set our films apart. They loved our sound design, the filmic qual­i­ty of our wed­ding cin­e­matog­ra­phy, our bold music choic­es and that our nar­ra­tives didn’t feel “cheesy” — they were real and true to the cou­ple. But what they real­ly appre­ci­at­ed was that each one of our films felt unique­ly its own. As they worked their way through our port­fo­lio, they noticed every video was dif­fer­ent struc­tural­ly and cre­ative­ly, reflect­ing the cou­ple at the core of each story.

With an epic, multi-day cel­e­bra­tion cul­mi­nat­ing in an inti­mate recep­tion with­in the cas­tle halls of Casa Loma in Toron­to, we had no short­age of incred­i­ble imagery to work with for Ram­neek + Jon’s wed­ding film. 

We’ve talked about the grandios­i­ty of South Asian wed­dings before and how we choose to tack­le them dif­fer­ent­ly. You see, across the dif­fer­ent days, cer­e­monies and per­for­mances, the final piece can quick­ly become about show­ing the “larger-than-life” cel­e­bra­tion instead of craft­ing a nar­ra­tive around the cou­ple. And while the vibrant colours, out­fit changes and cul­tur­al tra­di­tions of Indi­an wed­dings are def­i­nite­ly inspir­ing aspects for any wed­ding cin­e­matog­ra­ph­er, we find that keep­ing our cou­ples at the heart of the sto­ry the key to mak­ing a great video with a last­ing impression.

As you’ll hear quite a few times in their wed­ding film, Katie + Tay­lor have been togeth­er for 15 years — an impres­sive feat made even more incred­i­ble by the fact that these two met and fell in love in grade 9 🥹
