Experience with the Vendors
“As an organized girl with a fiancé who is completely managerial in his outlook, we wanted a wedding videographer who would fulfill certain requirements we had – he or she had to have a theatrical vision, be able to mingle with family and make them feel comfortable and have experience with candid and quirky shots. Filmy Shaadi had it all! I remember there was a meeting where we were asked to describe our relationship and narrate how we met. That time, we did not know how the Filmy Shaadi team would find that information useful. Later, when I saw the pre-wedding shoot and the wedding pictures, I was awe-struck! It was as if they had weaved our story together in photos.”
