Lights, Camera, Action: Filming a West Indian Bridal Shoot in Toronto

A West Indian bridal shoot is an ethereal event that radiates love, tradition, and beauty. We were beyond thrilled to be asked and capture one such event on video at Roma's Hospitality Centre, located in Mississauga, Ontario. We were invited by the ever-hard-working planning team at Events by Whim and the creative decor team of Princess Decor. Our team had high expectations for the shoot - we aimed to create a piece of art that would showcase every intricate detail of a West Indian wedding, from the bride's traditional gold lehenga to the stunning floral arrangements that adorned the venue. The purpose of the video was to inspire soon-to-be brides and grooms to plan their own weddings by showcasing the magic that unfolds on the day of the event. Planning the shoot required careful and logical thinking, as we had to work with several vendors who were tasked with putting together the event. We were anticipating challenges but were confident in our team's ability to overcome any obstacle that came our way. With our creative and artistic minds at work, we set out to create a video that would depict a love story that transcends time and culture.
