Bellevue 路 Redmond 路 Sammamish
Indian wedding videographer and photographer for Seattle
Wedding films, photographs and engagement shoots, planned around every tradition of your weekend.
Happy Soul Films is a studio in Brampton, Ontario, near Toronto, that has filmed South Asian weddings since 2016. We travel to Seattle for weddings and engagement shoots, including Bellevue, Redmond and Sammamish.
Weddings in Seattle
Bellevue, Redmond and Sammamish on Seattle's Eastside are home to a large and growing South Asian community, and Seattle is also an easy trip for families from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
We plan coverage around your traditions:
- Sikh weddings: the jaggo and maiyan, the milni, the Anand Karaj and the four laavan, filmed with the discretion a gurdwara asks of us.
- Hindu and Gujarati weddings: haldi, pithi, garba and sangeet, the baraat, varmala and pheras, with dedicated audio so every vow is heard.
- Muslim weddings: mehndi, baraat, nikaah, rukhsati and walima, filmed respectfully and planned around each family's preferences.
- Tamil, Telugu, Malayali and other South Indian weddings, and fusion weddings where two cultures share one story.
Two kinds of couples we travel for
- Couples from Canada marrying in Seattle. If your family is in the GTA and your partner's is in Seattle, we can film both sides, so the Toronto sangeet and the Seattle wedding look like one story.
- Couples who live in Seattle. If you love our style, we bring the same team, cameras and lighting to you.
Engagement shoots in Seattle
Mount Rainier, the Olympic Peninsula, Snoqualmie Falls, Kerry Park and the Seattle waterfront give couples mountains, forest and city in one region. Rain is part of the Pacific Northwest, so we plan covered locations and bring weather gear.
An e-shoot can be a stand-alone session or added to your wedding weekend while we're in town. It's also a good way to get to know us before the big day. See how engagement shoots work.
How a Seattle wedding works with us
- Consultation over Zoom, in Pacific time, three hours behind Toronto.
- Your client portal holds the itinerary, timings, addresses and vendor contacts.
- A planning call with your planner, decorator or DJ, so entrances and speeches are mapped in advance.
- Travel. Direct flights from Toronto to Seattle take about five hours. We arrive before the first event to walk the venues and check the light.
Films and photographs from one team
Depending on your collection, you'll receive a documentary film for each event, a five-to-ten-minute cinematic or storytelling highlight film, photography, and optional same-day edits, next-day edits and concept films.
