The Hakim Sons team had such a great time working with Megan and Cory during production of their save-the-date film! While brainstorming different ideas in the studio and watching Cory “act the part,” we knew this couple was perfect and had exactly what it takes to bring a story to life. The former Dallas Cowboy (now with the Miami Dolphins) and law school student decided to share their personalities through different attempts of the proposal. The couple’s family and friends are loving it, and we can’t wait until the wedding next year!

Now we’ve all heard of high school sweethearts, but do you know of any grade school school sweethearts? Courtney and Surjit have known each other since the second grade, and after remaining friends and becoming a couple as their lives progressed, they finally became husband and wife early this June. The Hakim Sons team was truly blessed and humbled that Courtney, a wedding industry professional with Magic Moments Parties and Events, Inc., came to us to document her wedding memories because she chose us as the best of the best!
The wedding itself was one of the most unique we’ve ever seen! The two day fusion celebration included events consisting of Courtney’s Jewish traditions and Surjit’s Sikh heritage. The first night was definitely NOT your typical rehearsal dinner. The couple’s family and friends attended a Sangeet party and danced the night away! Day two started out with a moving Sikh wedding ceremony followed by an emotional Jewish ceremony. The newly Dr. and Mrs. Surjit Rai celebrated with an exquisite reception at the Dallas Intercontinental Hotel. A big congratulations and thank you to Courtney and Surjit!

Thanks to some insider information, the Hakim Sons team found out that Stephanie was planning her wedding, and we just had to be a part of it! We knew Stephanie and Clint’s wedding celebrations would be special because the bride herself is a wedding coordinator with some of the best in town…DFW Events. As a child, Stephanie assisted her mom who was an award-winning Dallas videographer in her time, so the pressure was on. Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Clint Harrison loved their wedding film, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
The FIRST thing Shelina told Nizar after he proposed to her is that she wanted Hakim Sons to document their wedding celebrations. Nizar agreed, of course, but came to us wanting something more. The couple envisioned their family and friends watching them enter their reception at the Omni Mandalay on a gondola. The idea was unique and romantic indeed, but we knew we could take our biggest fans’ vision to a new place.
After some intense brainstorming, concept development, and bad acting in the studio, we came up with a plan to combine a concept film and instant edit into one piece. The soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Nayani loved it and were on board to make this film something their family and friends would never forget. Not only would everyone be able to relive the highlights of the multiple day wedding festivities, but this was the perfect way to precede the couples’ entrance into their reception which was the day after their ceremony. Jaws dropped when the guests saw this piece, and it was such a hit that we had an encore presentation later that evening!
Have you had enough suspense after watching the trailer? We know everyone has anxiously been waiting to see Bethany and Luke’s wedding day highlights, so here they are! The day started at the magnificent Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas and continued with a beautify ceremony at First Baptist Church. The newly Mr. and Mrs. Edmonson celebrated their union with a fabulous reception at the Dallas Museum of Art. Thank you Bethany and Luke for allowing our team to be a part of your special day!

Sarah and Ahmer called upon the Hakim Sons team to do something out of this world to surprise their family and friends during their reception. This couple was willing to do whatever it took to make this happen, so we came up with a concept which included an instant edit of their mehndi celebrations on Thursday. Jaws dropped on Saturday night during the reception, the guests still can’t stop talking about this film, and Sarah and Ahmer can’t be more thrilled. Mission accomplished! Congratulations to Sarah and Ahmer!

Last month, we had an opportunity to film Rave Motion Pictures‘ corporate retreat at Rough Creek Lodge & Resort. This was a 5 day / 4 night retreat, and not only did we get a chance to film a high energy piece for this awesome group, but we produced a promotional video for the resort. We would love to hear your thoughts on the promotional video, and I highly recommend this venue for your future vacations. TRUST ME!
