To say that Rouzhin and Naram\u2019s wed\u00adding had it all is an under\u00adstate\u00adment. It had more than we could have ever thought \u201call\u201d to encom\u00adpass. A beau\u00adti\u00adful\u00adly dec\u00ado\u00adrat\u00aded sofreh cer\u00ade\u00admo\u00adny, bal\u00adleri\u00adnas, an a capel\u00adla choir, gela\u00adto trucks and tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Turk\u00adish cof\u00adfee sta\u00adtions, a bub\u00adble send-off, a mul\u00adti\u00adtude of per\u00adfor\u00admances, a chore\u00ado\u00adgraphed first dance, and an extrav\u00ada\u00adgant Marie Antoinette-themed recep\u00adtion spread across Toronto\u2019s Four Sea\u00adsons, St. Paul\u2019s Basil\u00adi\u00adca, and the AGO.<\/p>\n

Now all these ele\u00adments are a wed\u00adding cinematographer\u2019s dream, but our main con\u00adcern when cou\u00adples tell us they\u2019re hav\u00ading such epic cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtions is that the cou\u00adple them\u00adselves and their sto\u00adry isn\u2019t lost amongst the lav\u00adish dec\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtions and jaw-dropping per\u00adfor\u00admances. This was hon\u00adest\u00adly nev\u00ader a wor\u00adry we had with Rouzhin and Naram though. Every aspect of their day \u2013 big or small \u2014 had a per\u00adson\u00adal touch and sought to pro\u00advide their close friends and fam\u00adi\u00adly with the most amaz\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence. Lovers of cul\u00adture, art, and trav\u00adel, it was only fit\u00adting that their cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtion took place in the Art Gallery of Ontario and when they sent us the per\u00adson\u00adal vows that they would exchange at their ear\u00adly evening sofreh cer\u00ade\u00admo\u00adny in Walk\u00ader Court, we knew we had an extreme\u00adly emo\u00adtion\u00adal and inti\u00admate sto\u00adry\u00adline that would seam\u00adless\u00adly con\u00adnect each scene in the film.<\/p>\n\"Art\n\"Sofreh\n\"Toronto\n\"Four\n\"Four\n\"Four\n

And so our sto\u00adry\u00adline sets up the sofreh and the mean\u00ading of all the intri\u00adcate pieces that sur\u00adround the cou\u00adple and the rit\u00adu\u00adals tak\u00ading place around them before mov\u00ading to their vows where we get a glimpse of their jour\u00adney togeth\u00ader. But the film as a whole is as much about Rouzhin and Naram and their union as it is about their guests and their jour\u00adney through each aspect of their cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtion \u2013 whether that be enjoy\u00ading gela\u00adto or walk\u00ading through the gal\u00adleries as bal\u00adleri\u00adnas stretch and dance in the emp\u00adty rooms along the way to the reception.<\/p>\n\"St.\n\"St.\n\"St.\n\"Toronto\n\"nr-17\"\n\"Turkish\n\"Turkish\n\"AGO\n\"AGO\n\"AGO\n\"Art\n\"nr-24\"\n

When we last met with the cou\u00adple before the big day, they had men\u00adtioned that they were work\u00ading on a chore\u00ado\u00adgraphed dance rou\u00adtine to Leonard Cohen\u2019s \u201cDance Me to the End of Love\u201d (you might rec\u00adog\u00adnize some of the lyrics from the song in Rouzhin\u2019s vows). See\u00ading as it was such an impor\u00adtant ele\u00adment, we took them to one of the emp\u00adty gallery rooms on the day to do one final run-down of their dance \u2013 one that cut beau\u00adti\u00adful\u00adly with their actu\u00adal first dance.<\/p>\n\"Art\n\"AGO\n\"Wedding\n

It took a dream team (see below) to make this incred\u00adi\u00adble cel\u00ade\u00adbra\u00adtion hap\u00adpen. So much hard work went into every tiny intri\u00adcate detail of this jaw-dropping mile\u00adstone and it shows in every frame of their wed\u00adding film.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
