In 2012 and 2013, we will only be selecting a handful of wedding assignments for video. So if that is something you’re interested in and would like to be considered for, drop us a line with your wedding details, and we will be in touch.

Starting now, we are also offering video engagement shoots for that includes initial consultation, script and story development, shooting, editing, and final delivery. Couples who we’ve been talking to intend to showcase the engagement shoot video with their wedding or save-the-date e-invites, their own wedding website, or as introduction highlights video before the grand entrance at the wedding.

Enjoy!

For Puja and Keith’s engagement shoot, we went to Sunnyside and a few other locations in downtown Toronto. Their wedding is coming up in a few weeks, with the traditional Indian ceremony in the morning, followed by what we are expecting to be an uber cool reception at a bar club in downtown Toronto!

Oh and if you haven’t already found out from our Facebook page, we are now proud parents of the cutest little baby girl. We named her Afroz Jahaan and she’s here to brighten our world (that’s what the name means!).

To make things even more interesting, we contacted our past bride and cupcake couturier Nasma of Frost Cupcakes. She made the most devilish cupcakes that looked and tasted the part and fitted our themed shoot perfectly. We practically had to fight everyone including ourselves from devouring them before the shoot ended. If you’re thinking about having a cake or cupcakes at your wedding, you owe it to yourself to at least try one of Nasma’s treats!

And now, without further ado, here is Parag and Mona’s amazing engagement shoot.

Mehvish had been in Dubai till about a few weeks ago and so our point of contact had mostly been Hashim and Mehvish’s brother Faraz on her side. We met Mehvish for the first time at the wedding, and she is the cutest, shyest, most sweetest bride on this planet ever! She was so nervous and shy that when we asked her to look at Hashim for one of the portrait shots, she couldn’t for more than a few seconds and had to look away all red in the face! As the days went by, she opened up with us, and with some guidance she was rocking the pictures in no time.

Hashim, Mehvish, congratulations to both of you and your families once again, and we wish you a very long, happy, prosperous life together Insha’Allah. May you stay forever smiling. Aameen!

Ali is a cricket buff and Nasma owns and operates a bakery (and loves cupcakes), so we obviously had to incorporate their secondary love of life into the eShoot. (Wait till you see the cakes these guys had at their wedding in a subsequent post). To achieve a different look, we did part of their shoot at night starting just before the last rays of sunset vanished. Enjoy!

F will be a maid of honor at Marc and Alison’s wedding this summer.

And because we share their initials, we believe we were destined to be their wedding photographers.

Consequently, we are always using each other as guinea pigs to try out new stuff on our off days. A good by-product of having to do this is that we can end up with some shots of ourselves that we would otherwise never take. Interestingly enough, we both fight to be behind the lens rather than in front of.

We took the following shots in this little corner in our building gym. This is what the corner actually looks like (sorry about the noise; iPhone picture):
