A Kochi wedding rarely happens in one place. There’s the ceremony at the church, temple or mosque, a reception somewhere else, a family home that has been full for days, and relatives arriving from across the city and from abroad. We follow the day as it moves, without turning any of it into a set.

We film the parts nobody schedules: a kitchen running on three hours of sleep, cousins fighting over the playlist, the hour after the ceremony when everyone finally sits down and the shoes come off.

Kochi does half the work: monsoon light through old windows, the backwaters going pink at dusk, the glorious mess of a crowded hall. We don’t grade any of it into something it wasn’t.

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 in Kochi?

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