Deepa & Jay's Beautiful Rajasthani Dream Wedding
“With love, the sands of time expand... Forever like a rolling sea.” We had an incredible time creating this concept highlight film with Deepa & Jay for their gorgeous Rajasthani themed Indian wedding in New Jersey. In the Vedic tradition, the concept of "auspicious time," known as muhurtham, is a widely held belief in which precise moments hold ideal value for the undertaking of an important life journey. A couple's birth chart, known as janmakshar, and astrological factors play a role in calculating the most auspicious dates and times for their wedding. We had a blast conceiving the visuals for this theme in celebration of Deepa & Jay’s Hindu beliefs, complete with a fun concept shoot in the desert, and incorporating it with their wedding in a same-day-edit that captivated everyone in attendance when it debuted live at their wedding reception.
