Toronto Destination Hindu Wedding Videographer at Azul Sensatori Cancun Mexico Resort

Here is the highlight video that we made for Shahed + Naveena’s wedding at Azul Sensatori Cancun Mexico Resort

For us here at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography, cinematography and photobooth group, being based in Toronto – one of the most multicultural cities in the world – has opened our lenses to a cornucopia of cultural experiences beyond all boundaries and borders. The one universal which ties it all together however is the unassailable power of love to bring people of all backgrounds and walks of life together to celebrate life to the fullest. That’s why our work with Naveena & Shahed on their unparalleled multicultural, multinational and multi-religious multi-day wedding ceremony and celebration just this past March 9th, 10th and 11th, 2017 in a breathtaking wedding destination at the Azul Sensatori Mexico Resort in Cancun, Mexico. One of our most special wedding works for our videographers and cinematographers, who had been flown in from Toronto to Cancun and assigned the tremendous task of documenting Naveena & Shahed’s unbelievably grand and gorgeous wedding weekend event; this was also one among the rare events we’ve filmed for non-Canadian couples. Naveena & Shahed, who hail from America, had their family in Toronto handle the arrangements for their truly delectable three-day tropical wedding celebration; and what a delight it was for our videographers and cinematographers to experience such a novel set of circumstances that aligned serendipitously to create something spectacularly magical. This wedding was also special in that it was another chance for us to work with photographer Tamara Lockwood, a brilliant photographer whom we highly recommend, who also flew out for the event, and generously provided the accompanying snapshots of the wedding festivities. So join us as we recall one of our most truly exhilarating and surprising wedding events our videographers and cinematographers have ever filmed and fashioned, and have a special preview of Naveena & Shahed’s once-in-a-lifetime three-day tropical destination wedding ceremony and celebration.

It’s not often that one comes across a ‘perfect’ couple, in ordinary circumstances anyway. That’s why we here at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography and cinematography group, feel almost blessed that we’ve witnessed plenty of ‘perfect’ couples pass through one of life’s largest landmarks, that of their wedding day. Such is why we felt more than blessed to work with Sonia & Mohit on their wedding celebration, that lasted not just one day, but an entire three-day weekend ordeal just a few weeks ago from December 4th, and the weekend of December 6th, 2014 which had a ‘sangeet’ party set at Mississauga’s Verdi Banquet Hall for the first day, and an impressive wedding-weekend spent at the ‘Renaissance Hall’ of Woodbridge’s Château Le Jardin. An extraordinary couple to say the least, our videographers and cinematographers had followed the two throughout their weekend-wedding, and had prepared a Next-Day-Edit to showcase for the final day of their wedding. Turns out, Mohit had something up his sleeve to keep our own film-makers on their toes for the final day.

Toronto Same Day Edit Shambavi & Ananthan Hindu Wedding Videographer

There is more to the metaphor of ‘love as an ember’, of a kindling fire that ignites the most ‘human’ of emotions in all of us, to experience the deepest of desires and most pertinent of passions. Such was what we here at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography and cinematography group, felt in full through our work with Shambavi & Ananthan in filming and documenting the couples’ most personal of memories during their wedding day. The couples’ consummate celebration took place just this past November 29th, 2014 in a traditional Hindu ceremony held at Toronto’s ‘The Warehouse’ wedding venue, with a gorgeous after-ceremony affair to close the evening right in the heart of downtown Toronto’s famous ‘Distillery District’ in an intimate reception care of the ‘Archeo Trattoria‘ restaurant.

Hindu Wedding Videography Toronto | Siyamin + Pritesh | Atlantis Pavilion

Siyamin and Pritesh’s wedding celebration at the famous Ontario Place’s Atlantis Pavilion sincerely seemed like the start of a fairytale journey for the young couple. As fate would have it happen, the two would go through the motions far beyond dance floor moves on the day they’d met, and would soon find themselves entrenched in the same all-embracing rhythm of song and dance which would pervade the energetic atmosphere of the night of their wedding day. We at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography and cinematography group, are left nothing short of beguiled in midst of love stories such as Pritesh and Siyamin’s, and are always grateful that we can play a part, however small, as stagehands to their fairytale performance.

Toronto & Brampton Hindu Wedding Videographer | Neel + Mallika | Grand Empire Banquet & Convention Centre

Nothing transcends boundaries and barriers more than an act of love, and a wedding such as this one is a testament to that undying fact. The union of Mallika and Neel was a pleasure for us to work on, and as a Toronto-based wedding videography and cinematography group, it came as a surprise when they came up north for their wedding from Washington DC and chose us for our services. In both wedding and photo-booth services, the family from the capital made sure to capitalize on the best we can offer. For the couple from across the border, most of their families and friends are in Toronto, and in a Hindu wedding ceremony fitting for the multiculturalism Toronto is known for, the celebrants held their special day on September 14, 2013, at the Grand Empire Banquet & Convention Centre (100 Nexus Avenue, Brampton ON L6P 2K9).

Wedding day started particularly early for both bride & groom to be. Mallika awoke only an inkling before 4 in the morning to begin preparations, and both Mallika and Neel were set and ready by 7 in the morning. Our crew arrived at the Hilton Garden Inn where the couple were staying and captured footage and pictures of the opening moments of an unforgettable day. Once everyone arrived at the convention centre, everyone began preparing for “baraat”, the traditional Hindu bridegroom procession. A particularly extravagant and lively display, Neel arrives and is welcomed by Mallika’s family, and the couple travel together to the wedding venue on a mare, accompanied by traditional Gujarati dancing and music from a live band. A fitting atmosphere for such a joyous occasion.

Korean + Indian Wedding | Gita + Edward | Panorama Lounge

Time for a lovely historical tale. During ancient times, the Korean peninsula and the Korean people had been split into several kingdoms after many generations since being formed, as many ancient people were, through a legendary lineage lost in antiquity. One of the smaller kingdoms, called “Gaya” situated in modern-day South Korea, finds its creation through a very curious tale of a visitor from far-off lands descending onto the land of the morning calm. Legend has it that a young maiden princess from the distant country of “Ayuta” arrived in what would become the “Gaya confederacy” and married a fabled king named “Suro” who would soon ascend in rank to be the first king of the land of Gaya, one of the ancient founding kingdoms of Korea. The young princess became historically known as Heo Hwang-ok, and her home country of “Ayuta” is traceable to the ancient Indian kingdom of Ayodhya, which still exists in India as a Hindu holy city near the Nepalese border.

Toronto Sri Lankan & Tamil Wedding Video | Vipushitha + Anchayan | Toscana Banquet Hall | Le Parc Banquet Hall

Sometimes life is simply better when you’re well connected, and with a wedding of over thirteen hundred celebrants, Vipushitha and Anchyan certainly know the benefits of a bit of fame. With a two-day wedding event, a ceremony set in the luxurious Le Parc banquet hall and the day-after reception in the massive Toscana banquet hall set in Thornhill, just outside of Toronto, the beloved couple surely knew how to set themselves apart with their celebration. Vipushitha and Anchyan, a Sri Lankan couple from Toronto who’ve only known each other for two years, did not let such a short period of time hinder them from finding the best out of one another, learning the ins and outs of their partner and discovering a true love that would lead to a lifelong commitment. We at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography and cinematography group, are ever receptive to the cornucopia of cultural traditions that Toronto’s diversity brings us, and are no doubt especially receptive to the plenty colorful and extravagant ceremonies of South Asian weddings. Vipushitha and Anchyan’s wedding was indeed a sight to behold, and from our diligent work in both capturing and editing the plentiful wedding video footage of the two-day long festivities, we are quite delighted in bringing such sights, sounds and storytelling to fruition.
