International weddings Destination wedding videography abroad

For couples marrying abroad, and for families who carry Kerala with them wherever the wedding happens.

Many Malayali families live between two places, in the Gulf, in Europe, in North America, and their weddings reflect that: rituals from home, friends from everywhere, a sadya served a long way from Kerala.

Different country, same rules: nothing staged, nothing repeated, nothing tidied up. The film holds the people and the place as they really were.

International weddings take more planning. Get in touch early with the place and the date, and we’ll talk through travel, timing and what you’d like the film to hold.

Some of it we shoot on real film, so part of your day ends up as negatives you can hold.

Questions

What is a documentary wedding film?

A wedding video made from what actually happened, not from scenes set up for the camera. Nobody is posed, nothing is repeated, and the imperfect bits stay in, because that’s what the day really looked like. It’s the only way we work.

Do you really shoot on film?

Yes. Alongside the wedding film we carry cameras loaded with real film, from Kodak, Fujifilm and CineStill to black-and-white stock. Every frame is developed, scanned and kept as a negative.

Where do you work?

Wherever the story is: Kochi and Ernakulam, all over Kerala, destination weddings across India, and weddings abroad.

Getting married abroad?

The date, the place, the people, the chaos. We’ll take it from there.
