Siva and gaya got wedded at the most unusual time, which is wee hour in the morning, but according to them, wee hour is the best hour to get married. Yeah, despite the wee hour, everyone seemed thrill and excited and there was not a single moment of sleepiness. It was our twice wee hour wedding, yet it was not any simpler as we had to manage our sleeping time, ie. force our body to knock-off at early evening just so we could wake up as the clock hit midnight! (ahem…it’s no joke coz we had trouble getting to bed that early and ended up did not get to shut eyes. To those shooting a wee hour wedding next time, a good advice is to have a full glass of wine before you head off to bed.. we regret didn’t do so  ) But luckily as soon as we got to Siva’s residence, we were surprised to see him sitting outside chatting with his brother and friends; and he greeted us with his most charming smile. The best part was his whole family was nice, and it sort of brighten our wee morning shoot. After about half an hour at siva’s, we went on to gaya’s. Looking bubbly and happy, she is really a simple girl, just like the girl next door. The first time we met, she told us that she had been checking out our site and we were speechless to meet another fan of ours.

Alright mate, here is their wedding SDE…enjoy!

Prashi and anu got wedded back in January in Melbourne, with the presence of their relatives and friends who came from near and far to celebrate their big day. Despite they have lived in aussie for over 20 years, they do not forget the traditions and customs, for they still practice their tradition wedding rituals. Their parents had even special order a mandap from india just for their wedding use, just to name a few here. To simplify their wedding: One young loving and happy couple, wonderful family, spontaneous and hospitable hearts, great wedding; simply a nice wedding with lots of love from friends and families. Throughout our week long stay in doncaster, you and your family have been tremendously nice and hospitable to us.

Without much ado, here is their wedding highlights… enjoy it!

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.. =) )

On the shooting day, they had even arranged and booked a fine-dine boat from the Palace of the Golden Horses (which was where the proposal took place last year) in order to relive the proposal moment. And for all we know, booking the boat is not cheap, it cost them five hundred bucks for the fine-cuisine on the boat for an hour. Well, we could tell it meant alot to them to re-shoot the big day there and we had suggested paran to get her a surprise present; to really surprise her. We did not see this coming, but turned out that paran bought the similar first present that he’d gifted her which she accidentally lost it during their dating years, and it definitely shocked her! Well, puva is definitely de GEM and princess in paran’s heart for he gave her the dream ROM at KL Tower, dream reception at Palace of the Golden Horses and dream lazare D! He really nailed it and he even set the bar high for the guys out there now… *wink*  LOL.

Thanks to Jay of Jay’s Perfect Dreams for having their wedding hall nicely decorated with superb on-stage lighting! This is the first time a couple has used so many different lighting to lighten the entire wedding stage, dimming down the rest just to create a warm ambience for their stage ceremony. Well, the output was marvelous on the video as the groom and bride could stand out even more in the video without having us using additional lightings!! So far they had the best lighting i must say.

We wish sri and kumaran a happy married life and all the best!

On their wedding day, they had their wedding ceremony live feed to outdoor area, for the convenience of the relatives and friends who were sitting outdoor. She is the ‘in’ bride that we have had so far with blonde hair, and he is the handsome-looking groom, and this makes them a perfect match for one another.

Here you are, their sde video which was premiered on their reception in Holiday Villa Subang. Wishing them a happy married life!!

During the prep in shangri-la’s hotel, kristofer was shy to let us shoot him when he has no t-shirt on! Yup, he is this shy… and we think he definitely is a keeper. He showed us all the Gucci presents that melinda had gifted him through out their dating years, and said that he’d been keeping them for their ‘big day’ coz very ’sayang’ to use it. How thoughtful of him. Since he is a phillipino, him and his bestmen had put on their tradition clothes, which is called the ‘barong’ instead of tux!! On top of that, kris and mel had both prepared a present for each other, as according to kris, it is the phillipine-chinese tradition. Guess what, they both got each other a Bvlgari watch!

Melinda is every guy’s girl and she is definitely kris’ dream girl. Well, kris fell in love with melinda at first sight and waited till the day she gave him her phone number. She is down-to-earth despite her status, humble and nice girl who is just the prefect one for kris.

This video credit should go out to kris who suggested that they would read out their message to one another and the outcome is amazing… good job guys!  ;)

This is our first shooting in genting and probably the most unforgettable experience. The whole shooting was awesome, minus the fact that we did not expect the weather to be uber cold and misty, and that it was already school holidays and we had to queue for every ride. It was so cold that sri and myself could not stand the weather the minute we’re out of the building! Luckily sri had her hat and gloves for the extra protection. Yet the cold had not affect kumaran; he was still very energetic and hilarious through out the shoot and kept having all the funny ideas for video purpose! The funny part was we all thought he looked like the energiser battery-man and had him posed next to it.

Here you are, presenting to you the funny-loving couple, sri + kumaran’s love journey video…
