Shelina + Nizar’s Concept Film

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!
