Sindhi weddings have always been fun to cover, and the ones that we have filmed in the past were destination weddings. But this time around, it’s a local Sindhi wedding and our first Sindhi wedding filming in Mumbai. Our couple, Karan and Neha is simply sporty, and Neha is truly a down-to-earth and nice girl. We felt comfortable filming their outdoor pre-wedding, and we were actually on the set at JW Marriott poolside, Karan excitedly shared their dating story with me; the fact that this is where they normally dates..and coincidently we pick that spot for pre-wedding shoot, and it means so much to them.

It was a fantastic 4 days wedding celebration with endless “sanity” and joy. They literally have 2 sangeet nights, with perfectly-practised skit from Karan side on the first day, and spontaneous skit from Neha side on the second day. Apart from the skits, there is a great performer from Dubai who performed a nonstop spin on the stage for 10 minutes, with various moves! That was just awesome. And final omph was where everyone started tearing off other people’s shirts after they tore off Karan’s shirt and pants! It was insanely fun… pity the few victims there. Lol!

The entire wedding pulled off well with the supports from all the vendors: Ravi from Warlock Wedding Planners for amazing wedding decorations and event planning; Pooja Studio (Dubai) photography; Rishi for coordinating our accommodation and making sure everything goes well for the Doodle team; and Mr Dhamendra for arranging the transportation for the team. It was great having the opportunity to work with all of them.

I was excited to see another Goa wedding enquiry pop-up in my mailbox. The beautiful Goa has never fail to mesmerize us. This time around, Grand Hyatt Goa it is! Grand Hyatt Goa hotel is a new hotel in Goa, in fact Grand Hyatt Goa hotel was just 2 months old and Ekta and Chirag’s wedding was the first wedding to be hosted there. It definitely is one of the best hotel in Goa to have weddings and vacation.

The email actually came from Ekta’s brother, Deepak who planned the destination wedding together with his wife, Anjali. We were looking forward to cover another Sindhi wedding and this time we were told there would be rain-dance pool party! We had no clue how they do that, but boy, we sure look forward to the new challenge despite our hectic wedding assignments schedule in November.

Having to be a destination wedding already sound fun, everyone is expected to stay up late every night for more and endless partying and boozing. This is one of the fun bit of destination wedding. Never needing to worry about driving home when you are drunk, coz all you need is to walk back to your hotel room. The entire 3 days wedding celebration of Ekta and Chirag was unforgettably spectacular. Their wedding was beyond our expectation. Everything was planned to minute detail. I love how their wedding decorator and planner, Serrao transformed the entire ballroom and venue according to their theme events. In fact, it was outstanding and we were jaw-dropped seeing the whole decor setup. The Sangeet, Wedding, Pool Party and Viva Las Vegas Night were simply fantabulous. Loving every single bit of it.

The couple, Ekta and Chirag has been wonderful. Ekta and Chirag are both soft-spoken, nice and humble person. They both have similar qualities; they are both passionate, positive, and are family-oriented. They are simply the perfect match for each other. When i read their love story through their wedding website, it felt like reading a fairy tale story. How bizarre to have met the “Mr. Right” and “She’s the One” at Starbucks when you were hanging out with friends, and when you least expected it to happen. According to Ekta, Chirag was in loose t-shirt and slippers when they were introduced by mutual friend at Starbucks. And it’s a sweet sweet love story from then onwards.

Doodle Studio team would like to take this opportunity to thank Deepak, Ekta, Chirag, and the rest of Khushalani and Sabhnani family for hosting a great wedding and for your kind hospitality. You guys have been wonderful, and thank you for having us on board for your daughter and son’s wedding. It has been a great 3 days experience of joyous wedding celebration. Wadayu wadayu to Ekta and Chirag again and may you both have a great married life.

Presenting Ekta + Chirag Sindhi Wedding SDE that was premiered for the first time on the reception night. Do let it load fully and pump up your speakers. Cheers!!

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!!

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!!
