Once in a while a wedding comes along that’s so epic, so grandiose, and so much fun that we can’t wait to share it with you! We spent four days filming in New York with Preksha and Ankit and put together this same-day edit to screen on Saturday, the evening of their wedding reception.
We spent the afternoon of day one in Central Park on the lake and enjoyed Ankit’s mehndi in the evening. Day two saw us covering Preksha’s mehndi in the morning and their sangeet reception later that night at the elegant Chateau Briand, and day three featured their super colorful turmeric ceremonies and a little filming at Preksha and Ankit’s middle school (where they met – how cute is that?). They tied the knot on the fourth day at the Hyatt Regency on the Hudson backed by the expansive NYC skyline and celebrated into the evening as the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Butala!
So many vendors came together to make this amazing wedding weekend perfect, including the experienced team of Jay Seth Photography and rockstar event planners Reema and Kurien of RB Event Design. Reema and Kurien, can’t wait to see you again in August!
And now, for the second time ever, here’s Preksha and Ankit’s same-day edit!
An epic two-day Indian wedding in The Big Easy? We couldn’t have asked for anything more from our last big destination wedding of the year!
We first spoke with Serena and Ajay by Skype back in August and the more they described their upcoming wedding in New Orleans, the more we knew we just had to be a part of it. They celebrated with family and friends during their sangeet Friday evening at The Board of Trade, and danced into the night on Saturday after a day packed with a traditional baraat procession, wedding ceremony, photo shoot around the city and an exquisitely decorated reception at the JW Marriott New Orleans Hotel.
So many talented vendors came together to make this amazing weekend possible, including Reema and Kurien of RB Event Design, Robby and Jess of Followell Fotography, and Vikas and crew of Opening Minds Entertainment.
We hope you enjoy this sneak peek of Serena and Ajay’s New Orleans cinematic wedding film!
Jazz, beignets and etouffée! Our crew was thrilled to spend our final destination wedding of the year in New Orleans filming Serena and Ajay’s epic Indian wedding weekend! We put together a brief same-day edit (SDE) that screened at their wedding reception Saturday evening at JW Marriott. We also have a more extensive sneak peek coming up soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for that on our Facebook page. PS: Check out some behind the scenes photos of our shoot from our Instagram feed at the bottom of this post.
We hope you enjoy Serena and Ajay’s cinematic same-day edit!
Harman and Riva first contacted us back in April while we were on a two-week tour through Thailand and Laos. Though half a world away, we were thrilled to be able to set aside some time to get to know them and hear more about their extravagant wedding weekend plans.
A traditional Sangeet party on Thursday with dinner and dancing at the Hilton Woodcliff Lake New Jersey, a field day on Friday with bride vs groom olympics – including dodgeball, relay races, a dunk tank, and an ice cream truck for good measure – and a wedding ceremony on Saturday surrounded by family and friends at Glen Rock Gurudwara followed by a reception celebration at the Rockleigh Country Club until the wee hours.
We cut together a same day edit for screening at their reception (though we had a couple more days than usual to craft the piece) and were happy it was so well-received. Take a look!
