Jaipur is known for its Pink City and many couples have chosen Jaipur to host their dream destination weddings… just like our couple, Anushree + Dhruv. When Anushree first contacted us for her Jaipur wedding, the feeling was un-describable as it’d be our first Jaipur wedding coverage, and for the fact that we have heard so much about Jaipur, we just can’t wait to film theirs!

Anushree and Dhruv are both soft-spoken and nice person. Our groom, Dhruv maybe leaning towards the shy side, but he has a genuine kind heart that seems to shine from the inner-self. Often times we hear the phrase “Opposite Attraction” applies to many couples out there. But it ain’t the same for our charming couple here. Our pretty bride, Anushree is down-to-earth, sweet, lovely, has a warmth smile wherever she goes and is a kind-hearted person. One just can’t get enough of Anushree’s warm and sweet smiles.
It’s no surprise her parents got all teary during the wedding ceremony.

It was a royal jaipur wedding, as the entire festivities was hosted at grand hotels — Raj Palace, Heritage Retreat and Le Meridien Hotel. Their Sangeet was held at Heritage Retreat and it is one unique paradise resort in Jaipur. The entire ambience gives a Jaipur heritage fort feel. And to spice up the night, the Sangeet stage was surrounded by a pool of water, and if you’d see from far, it’s simply amazing and with that, we had our best Sangeet coverage ever! Ample of space for Doodle team to move-about. And with open-air space, the entire Sangeet stage look awesome from top view.

That was just the Sangeet place, wait till you see the wedding venue which is The Raj Palace. It is simply elegance and heritage, ideal for weddings. One needs not have too much decorations done at Raj Palace, as the place itself is simply royalty.

Presenting Anushree + Dhruv Wedding Highlight | Raj Palace Jaipur… For those who were there at their wedding, happy REJOICE and for the rest, ENJOICE!!

Love,

Doodle Studio Team

It was back in April that we got an email from Pradeep, enquiring for our service. When we knew that this wedding is going to be at Mumbai, we were thrilled as we love Mumbai’s colorful city and its rich culture. And for the fact that it is going to be a Hindu wedding, it even spice up the experience. It was the first ever Hindu wedding that we filmed in Mumbai city. A great pleasure and satisfaction it was.

Second satisfaction was that both Asha and Pradeep has been so accommodative towards us and our needs. They would do their every effort to make us feel homey and comfortable during our stay in Mumbai. Asha, being a bride-to-be, has put aside her bride-to-be mentality and “privilege” of not doing anything pre wedding period, has gotten her hands and mind busy on fixing up all the wedding preparations and detailing that needed to be done, even till the day of their wedding. Well, we could see both Pradeep and Asha been having phone calls constantly, and attending to some wedding hiccups, people and vendors, in order to set everything right for their wedding. One thing that i learnt from Asha and Pradeep is that we shall never give up, not until the final moment, shall never give up despite everyone else around you say the opposite, for miracle could happen and impossible could be possible. I truly salute them both for that.

Asha and Pradeep has planned this wedding for a year, and we’re glad to be part of their wedding celebration. It is our first Brahmin wedding coverage, and it is indeed a very cultural and authentic one for us. We just love the simplicity of the wedding with its culture. They had their wedding in a beautiful and authentic temple and a roof-top wedding reception with spectacular view overlooking the Powai Lake at Renaissance Hotel. Okay, without much ado, presenting Asha + Pradeep Wedding Highlight.. Alvida!

This is the first time we film a Marwari wedding at the beautiful Gulf of Siam, Hua Hin. It is a nice experience filming Shefali and Akshay wedding, in which their wedding ceremony coverage ends around 3-ish in the morning. Very special wedding rituals with lots of fun and details! There’s so much laughter throughout their wedding festivities, and everyone party and dance whole night long for 2 consecutive days prior to wedding day. It is simply a perfect wedding.

I could still recall the moment we received the enquiry email from Shefali’s brother, Karan who came in just about one and a half month prior to the wedding date. When he enquired, we thought it was for his own wedding, but later we found that it’s actually for his sister’s wedding, and he said that he wanted to give his sister the bestest wedding memories. He is such a loving brother. The Rawat family has planned the perfect wedding for Shefali, in fact a dream wedding for Shefali and Akshay. Thank you Karan for having Doodle Studio team to cover the entire wedding festivities, it was truly a blessed wedding and a great experience for us all. Thank you for your hospitality throughout our stay at Hua Hin. Our best wishes to the newly-wed, Shefali and Akshay. =)

Our special thanks to Gary, our team member in Melbourne, who flew in to Bangkok and join us in this wedding shoot. =)

Presenting their wedding highlight to you…

If one is invited to celebrate a Sindhi Wedding, he or she has to be prepared for some serious party-ing. And we do not mean just one day of party-ing but it’s a whole week long of partayy!! This is the scenario with Hiten and Mamtu’s wedding which took place at a luxury design resort at Goa last week. Both Hiten and Mamtu, who live in Dubai, has had some 200 family, relatives and friends from States, UK, Dubai, Africa, Mumbai and Korea to celebrate their 3-day wedding festivities. The 3-day celebration was all about eat, drink, dance, party and celebrate the wedding, everyday from 10am till 5-6 am the next day! The DJ kept playing the Bollywood dance hit, the bartenders kept serving liquor on the dance floor while the guests kept dancing, and the fun just goes on endlessly.

Hiten, who runs his own Event Management company (Mosaic Dubai) in Dubai, has have his friend and colleagues to help out in the wedding. His friend came up with an unique design for the mandap, and executed it with the help of the local florist. And with the blend of lightings, the whole mandap turned out awesome. The most unique mandap ever, as they used only tree branches and flowers. And as the sun set, the lightings gave a warmth atmosphere to the mandap and its surrounding. Throughout the wedding, Mamtu was seen smiling and laughing most of the time, and there was a lot of love and happiness filled on stage at the mandap. It was a mix of sentimental and happy moments in their wedding. Mamtu, being the gorgeous and kind-hearted girl she is, has always been considerate and caring towards others despite it’s their wedding celebration. Other than the couple, their family has also been showing much hospitality towards the Doodle team, and we’re most honored to be part of their wedding. Not only had we made friends with the couple, but we also befriended Photo Tantra of Bangalore.

Okay, without much ado, let us present to you \\ Hiten + Mamtu Sindhi Wedding Highlight.

It has been a good one week in Hua Hin; with the odd chill temperature, the strong wind, and the warmth and friendly people at Hua Hin made it a nice place to have weddings. Well, these explain our second trip to Hua Hin for wedding shoot.

This time around our Dubai couple, Kunal and Rashmi has their guests flew in from near and far to join their week long wedding festivities at Sheraton Hua Hin. Their wedding has nothing less than any other destination weddings. They have planned everything to the finest detail, from daily programs to venue decor and set-up, the guests was thrown with a fun-filled week long celebration; from having a Masquerade party night where Kunal DJ-ed on-stage, a crazy-fun poolside party where Kunal was thrown into the pool, Kunal rode on horse to pick up his bride-Rashmi, to performing a dance on sangeet night! Well, that was our handsomely cool groom. On the other hand, our pretty bride-Rashmi has quite some sentimental moment, she got teary during the Pooja and Wedding ceremony.. we could tell she is the darling in the family, very closely attached to parents, in fact her father almost tear when he was giving speech on reception night. It was rather a sentimental night for all.

Without much ado, presenting to you.. Kunal + Rashmi Hua Hin Wedding Highlight…

Happy Valentine’s Day to all lovers and newly-wedded couples out there. We would like to begin this wonderful and meaningful v-day with our gorgeous Sindhi wedding from Chennai, India. Not only was the wedding gorgeous, the couple was absolute stunning!

” You’ll have 2 kids, 1 boy and 1 girl ” was the exact sentence from the fortune teller. Well, we were not surprised to hear that. When we were with Kavi and Sonica for the wedding week, we could see that they are so immensely in love with each other, both couldn’t take their eyes off one another. Sonica is such a sweetheart, despite being the bride, she would always put others before herself. She even took the extra effort to ensure that each of us receives a welcome gift-bag upon check-in, and always ask if everything is alright with us, our rooms and etc… Well, we have no complaints but thousands of thank you to sonica, kavi and both their families for everything that they have arranged for us and for preparing an amazing contentful wedding week! The guests had so much fun at all the functions and there is no excuse not to loveee all the different functions; point 1- they have a different theme decor (with attention to details) for every function which is mind-blowing! : point 2- food is prepared to follow the theme : point 3- the open bar is always filled with liquors and it’s free-flow, so everyone could party all day and night long! : point 4- the couple was gorgeous, hosting was great, guests were sporting!

Well, speaking of Kavi and Sonica’s guests, about 350 of them flew in from near and far, to name a few; South Africa, Dubai, Shanghai, HongKong, Indonesia, UK and etc. When most of them know that we’re from Malaysia, some would start converse in chinese, cantonese and malay with us. It was really nice and warmth of them…

Without much ado, let us present to you the wedding highlight video which was premiered to all the wedding guests on their reception night. After seeing the video, most of them came to us saying that they shed tears while watching, and were glad that the couple had us to film their wedding. Okay, enough of say, do let it load fully and turn on your speakers to enjoy fully!!

Finally it’s Raj and Hanusha (also known as asha)’s turn after a year of long wait. After having shot their engagement and love story in the past few months, it was more like attending a good friend’s wedding. It was indeed an honour to be there for them; and words could not express how happy we are for them on their wedding day. Wishing raj and hanusha a happy and blessed married life. Without much ado, here goes their wedding highlight and their love story… =)

RAJ + HANUSHA | WEDDING HIGHLIGHT from Doodle Studio on Vimeo.

Raj and hanusha (asha) was enemy back in the college years; and everyone in the college then knew of this fact. Well, destiny has its way to turn this enemy couple into friendship through their mutual circle of friends. But God did not stop just there. Little did they know that they would see the love sparks in each other’s eyes through this friendship. Eventually they no longer tease each other, and started to care for one another from that “sparks” onwards. Well, it may be clueless to their friends and others, but the god  and themselves know how it all began. Raj and asha is ever the wonderful couple and one could really find comfort hanging around with them. We have known them for over a year, and have had a total of 4 shoots with them, and with each shoot, we got to know them more in depth. Raj is a super mr. nice and gentle guy who would do give the best of everything for Asha. Looking back at the love story video, reminds us that Raj do has his “cute” charm spell. Hehe.. but hanusha has her bewitched spell too. She has a warmth and friendly smile; with a great talent in tradition indian dance, to add up to her happy-go-lucky charm!

We were grateful to have their friends for the love story shoot, as everyone was so committed and involved in the production, to make every shoot possible! For this, we have to salute Raj for his effort in practising for the puppet show! He self-handled the two puppets at the same time.. simply impressed!

Latha and Shree is one of the few couples who cherish wedding video more than anything else. Latha is a really nice girl; like any girl out there who dreams and wish to have the best for her wedding. On the wedding day, latha was still worried if things did not go well on stage, and asked if everything was okay for the video shoot during the break of saree-changing time. Her mum and herself was very much concern of the video output; they had arranged the lightings to fit for video and ascertain that we would have the best angle coverage on stage.

Alright, without much ado, let us present to you Latha & Shree wedding highlight… Enjoy!!

We were told that Vijay has already confirmed that Sudha is the girl that he is going to married after 8 months of dating!! Here we are, presenting to you their wedding sde…

It is our first sindhi wedding, yet a destination sindhi wedding in Kuala Lumpur, where Omesh is from NewYork and Preeti is from Philippines. Both groom and bride family, relatives and friends flew in from near and far (and none of them is from malaysia) to join their 3 days wedding celebration in JW Marriot and Westin KL. It was interesting when we first introduced to Preeti and her family by Poonam (the wedding planner), we had a deep first impression on uncle Charlie (preeti’s dad) coz he is such a funny, joyous and loving husband and father, the first meeting was nothing formal or unease, was more like friends get-together.

It is always interesting to shoot a different indian wedding coz the culture is always different from one another, and we get to see and experience more of other cultures. There were several prayer sessions plus solemnization that has to be done prior to wedding day for sindhi wedding, and one of the essential parts was when omesh’s shirt (that he was wearing) has to be torn by his brother and friends, right after the prayer ceremony has ended. The interesting part was omesh was aware of this custom, and was all prepared for it, coz he wore 3 underwears beneath his pants!

Like any other indian weddings, they too have a sangeet ceremony 2 days prior to wedding, where preeti’s friends from philippines teamed and paired up to perform for the lovely couple. Omesh’s cute little nephew had also made the effort to perform a dance and the kiddo did rock the ground a bit. But the best performance was none other than preeti’s solo dance for her dearest. The sangeet and wedding ballrooms were nicely decorated with an arabic and royal affair theme by Sriiya and Ramesh, creating the mood and ambience for the couple and their 100 guests! It was a great opportunity to work with poonam, ramesh, sriiya and grant corban in this wedding.

Without further ado, presenting to you Omesh+Preeti Sindhi Wedding Highlight… Enjoy!!

It was not easy for pete and lavi to get to where they are today, and their wedding was truly a blessed one…with blessings from families and friends all over, from near and far. It was a pleasure to be there and celebrate their love in both greek and northern indian tradition. Being our our second experience with northern indian wedding customs, the northern wedding’s rather simpler and shorter than the southern. Their wedding was not just with northern wedding rituals, yet they incorporated the greek ritual as well. During the wedding ceremony, and after the newly-wed tied the thali, they were both adorned with crowns that were connected by a ribbon which signifies the union of the couple. The entire ceremony was emotional; as some got teary yet happy for the newly-wed, and lavina almost shed tears for the blessings that they got on their wedding day.

Alritey, here goes their wedding highlights. Enjoy!!  =)

ps: congrats to both pete and lavina, and wishing you guys a happy married life.

Nithin + Arti’s wedding was the wrap for our year 2009, and it certainly was a great wedding as we had great time covering their wedding ceremonies at Pulai Springs Resort whilst enjoying our stay there. This newly wed, based in San Francisco, had their closest friends and relatives flew in from all over to attend their wedding in Pulai Springs, and yet this couple is not even from Malaysia! Yeap, it was a destination wedding.

Arti had arranged that we could all stay in the same resort as them as this would save the traveling time and for the convenience of us to cover the preparations and ceremonies. Well, it was really cool having to just walk a few minutes to both Nithin’s and Arti’s room, their parents’ suite and we could easily head back and forth to theirs without much hassle, and even the ceremonies were held in the resort! lol.. this is the coolest part of any destination wedding! They had a total of 3 events, from sangeet to wedding to reception. That was the first time we experienced a sangeet that’s full of love and even Nithin had a special surprise for Arti, which was to sing her favorite hindi song though he is not familiar with the language. His performance did not stop just there, he had even performed 2 more songs for his dear arti. The entire night was filled with love and laughter as their close friends from san francisco and singapore gave some very touching speeches, with nithin’s uncle ended the speech by singing his self-composed song about nithin and arti!

Well, their wedding certainly was not just a normal wedding rituals, it was more like a party and a get-together with their close friends and relatives from all over. Well, they had the most simplest wedding ceremony of all, yet ensuring that all the important rituals are done appropriately, with a touch a ‘beach-wedding’ decor! Of course, nithin was dancing his way to the wedding hall along-side with all his relatives. It was truly the cooolest wedding, and at the end of the day, everyone get carried away and some started to ‘throw’ the guys into the swimming pool! Finally, after all the celebrations, this cool couple were so nice to invite their friends and relatives to join their honeymoon trip to bali. Reason being they just want everyone to join in and have fun, as they will have plenty of time for private honeymoon after the wedding. I mean “wow” they’d rather forgo their honeymoon just so everyone could have fun with them.

Presenting to you now, arti + nithin’s wedding highlights…

(to arti + nithin, thanks guys for having us there to be part of your big celebration, truly honored to be there.. =) )
