But there is another character who plays a major role as well in a Hindu Tamil wedding; that “character” would be the Thaali. For those of you who don’t know what the Thaali is – it is the chain that symbolizes a marriage between a man and a woman in the Hindu Tamil culture.

Mukunthan & Darmika(Ms. Organized) wanted a next day edit to show at their reception this past long weekend. I didn’t want to project regular edit for them, but I remembered a significant difference in their ceremony that they had mentioned earlier in one of our meetings. During the ceremony, when it comes to the groom putting the Thaali on the bride – it takes several family members to secure it. It is because the the screw that attaches both ends together is so tiny that it could be lost with one slip of the fingers. But Darmika was set on Mukunthan putting the Thaali on by himself as she felt that to be a more emotional connection (which by the way – I fully agree with). So within the 2 weeks I prepared mentally for a story never told before (hopefully).

Mukunthan had planned to practice tying the Thaali the morning of his wedding ceremony and I wanted to make sure that we captured it. I also wanted to add more depth to the couples idea – by paying a visit to Mukunthan’s house to film the preparation and blessing of the Thaali.

Mukunthan & Darmika were so much fun to film – they had full trust in my abilities to do what I do. So now I’ve thrown out the title of “clients”  away from them and replaced it with “friends”. Their whole family treated us as one of Darmika’s 22 cousins (and NO that is not a typo).

I wish you both the best in Life and Marriage.

To my “friends” Mukunthan & Darmika

As this was our first destination wedding, me and Evan had to make sure before we left that everything necessary was packed in order to cover everything properly. One thing that we found out was that we packed more than we could handle, especially for the Atlantis hotel a.k.a the Maze. This hotel’s grounds are so large that by the end of that trip I had lost most of my weight from walking and ended up coming back with only my equipments and my bones (both fit in the suitcase). The only things that kept me and Evan going was Neha, Prakash, their guests and bahama mamas.

On our first day we had a chance to check Atlantis and its surroundings out, including the venues where the events were taking place. One of the things that shocked me was how cold it was in Bahamas, we were caught off guard. I got to shoot and test out our equipments that evening (you can check this link for the clip).

The next day Neha and Prakash had planned a visit to our close mammal friends, Dolphins, but the forecast had called for rain. Once we got outside we saw sun, so we tagged along with them. It was definitely an experience, but unfortunately the staff wouldn’t allow us with our cameras into the water so we had to shoot from a distance. That same night Neha and Prakash held a mehndi/sangeet, the evening was filled with steelpan, dancing, food, drinks, singing and to top everything off a big fish tank in the background.

The last day of events was of course the wedding, and it was spectacular. We had the beautiful Atlantis hotel as the backdrop, wild winds to add drama to our attires and Neha & Prakash to start their new lives together.

I want to thank Evan again for all the hard work that he put in.

I arrived at Aarthy’s condo – greeted by make-up artist Dimple from The Touch of Dimple and Aarthy’s wonderful family.

While shooting there I noticed that I had to work without any natural light coming in because it was still dark outside – but because of our new cameras we didn’t have to carry around any free-standing lights – so that was solved. Now Jenan & Aarthy, they’re bit of a reserved couple, but nevertheless getting married to the one you love brings out the joy in you. As the day progressed and they were figuring out that it was THEIR day – Mr. and Mrs. Reserve decided to leave the building and we were left with Jenan & Aarthy.

If you know anything about Hindu weddings then you will notice something different about the way I edited this clip (hint: the title) – have a go at it.

I want to thank Evan, just for being Evan and shooting great footage with me. Also want to thank the husband and wife duo – Mayavee Photography – for being just wonderful people aside from their extraordinary work.

It was definitely a fun wedding to shoot – especially when you got various locations for their park shoot – don’t forget the closeups with fighter jets. Both Sujee and Michelle were wonderful to work with, always up to the challenge. Their entrance was a blast, they were welcomed with standing ovations and Michelle and Sujee repayed them with a little dance. Wishing Michelle and Sujee a wonderful life together from your team at P-your VISION. Enjoy the clip!

The bright reds, yellows and oranges in the leaves adds some ‘ping’ in pictures and of course ‘moving pictures’. You just gotta anticipate the cold and rain that might follow the luscious colours and thats what we had on the day of Sutha and Dharuni’s wedding. It was raining the morning of, yet there was still laughter and joy being shared. This clip was shown at their reception following their Buddhist ceremony the next day. I added some clips from the 2nd day onto this edit also, it was too good to pass up. I hope everyone enjoys this clip – happy watching!
Special thanks to Evan C. King – always on top of the game!
