Gokul + Mohana's - Indian Wedding Ceremony and Dinner Reception

Wedding Date: 14th December 2008
Wedding Venue: Sri Sakthi Easwari Temple Hall, ss3 Sungei Way Subang, Selangor
Reception Venue: Holiday Villa Hotel, Subang Selangor
Groom: Gokula Krishnan
Bride: Mohanaapriya

Another match-made in heaven, a beautiful couple, a well-sustained long distance relationship, another love story unfold by Doodle Studio. The gorgeous and stunning TV1 newscaster (who was the winner of Miss Malaysia India 2000) has finally tied the knot with the man of her life and moved over to the Middle East to start on their new chapter there.

Their love story did not just blossom in the recent one or two years. They have known each other since they were in kindie (they were only 6 years old then!) Little did they know that the God had already made such an arrangement for them back then. Twelve years later, it was destined that Gokul meet Mohana again as both met at extra chemistry classes during form 6.

Upon completion of Form 6, both Gokul and Mohana went separate ways to further studies and venture into their career lives for nearly 10 years while constantly keeping touch as friends. It wasn't until one sunny day 2 years back, when Gokul got back from his work in Cairo, Egypt for holidays, did things change. They met as usual for coffee. And there goes, one coffee led to another, they became closer and closer to each other. As time passes, Gokul realised that the soul mate that he has been looking for was actually sitting just right across the table in the Starbucks cafe.

On 14th December 2008, they have finally tied the knot at the Sri Sakthi Easwari Temple Hall and it was our pleasure to have witnessed their celebration of love. Certainly, being the ex-Miss Malaysia India and Newscaster did not put Mohana on camera-shy.. as all cameras like her! She looks superb photogenic in the video and photos, and she was always in the limelight! All her media friends came to their wedding not just with happy hearts and wedding gifts, they tagged along their DSLR cameras as well! At first all the guests were seated quietly in the hall observing the ceremony. But shortly after half an hour, all their media friends came up front with their DSLRs in order to capture a better angle and more artistic shots of both the Groom & Bride! **phew** You could imagine them having all the limelights and "click click click" "zap zap zap" through out the whole wedding ceremony. They really were the attention of the day. Hm.. this is a sight which i have never seen in an Indian wedding before... (i mean with all her "fans" there!) ;)

Despite being the ex-Miss Malaysia India, a model and a newscaster, Mohana is nice to work with as both Gokul and herself were co-operative during the video-shoots.

Thanks Gokul & Mohana for your kindness. May best wishes be with them always ... from us, Doodle Studio.

Let's not put you on hold for too long. Here goes the long awaited wedding video.... presenting to you... in 3... 2.... 1.. Enjoy!

Surin & Rena - Indian Wedding Ceremony + Reception Dinner

Wedding Date: 1st June, 2008
Reception Date: 7th June, 2008
Wedding Venue: Brickfield Temple
Reception Venue: Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa, Cyberjaya
Groom: Surin Segar
Bride: Renaka Nalliah
Videographer: Doodle Studio
Photographer: Camwork Photo
Song and Artist: Wanna Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler


Before we move on further, here are some snippets from their wedding video...


About 6 months back, we had the opportunity to shoot for this lovely Indian couple -- Surin and Rena, whose professions are accountant and lawyer respectively. When we were first introduced to this couple by Jason (FYI, Jason is from Camwork Photo), we thought that Surin is a rather serious person as he has the serious look. But after having a few conversations with him, it turned out that he is quite a nice and friendly person to work with. And his wife, Rena is a total-smile and absolute friendly person. On the wedding day, since it was our first attempt in shooting Indian wedding, the newly-weds were so nice to have arranged Rena's aunt to liaise with us and inform us of the Indian wedding's ceremony details, just so that we could capture the important moments and details of the whole ceremony that are significant to them. The whole wedding shoots were a fun and meaningful as we get to learn and understand the traditional Indian wedding rituals. It was truly a memorable one for us as well as for the Couple as things went all well on the wedding day. Both Surin and Rena were co-operative during the shooting moments... and they like the video output. *wink*

Above all, they are helpful, generous and a loving couple. We are grateful and thankful to have worked with them, as their acknowledgment of our work has given us the extra strength and confidence to continue shooting for indian weddings. Hereby, we would like to wish both of them a happy married life ahead with many children!! =)

Ladies and gentlemen, do allow us to present to you... a shorter version of Surin & Rena's Wedding Video.

Doodle's Snap.Shot Moments

Venues: The Avillion, Port Dickson, Malaysia
Port Dickson, Malaysia
Carlton Garden, Melbourne, Australia
Casting: Jared & Emmaline
Photographer: Jared

Taa'daa... Here are some of our best red & line outings pictures that we would like to share with you. We have a special passion for beaches and during our relaxation holiday at the Avillion Resort, Port Dickson, we got uber-thrilled with the many 'camera-like-angles' within the Resort as well as along the Tumasek Beach. Hence, without much hesitation, we spent half the day photo-shooting and had captured many nice photos in return. Hmm.. one must be wondering how did we manage to shoot ourselves without assistance? LOL.. Thanks to our best buddy 'the tripod'. Wherever and whenever we go for photo shots, we'll bring along our tripod.
By the way, on the same day of our photo shots, we spotted a pair of groom & bride-to-be having their wedding photo shots session within the premise too! Well, it is not a surprise anyway, 'coz Port Dickson beach is known to be one of the nice destination weddings in the country.

The last picture was taken back in Melbourne during our final-year of uni study in down under.
Oh.. what can we say about Melbourne... It's a beautiful place to be at and it's just awesome! You get to see many historical buildings, beautiful sceneries, and experience the tram rides there!

Dr. Prenav & Dr. Rashmi - Indian Wedding Ceremony + Wedding Reception

Wedding Date: 30th November 2008
Reception Date: 1st December 2008
Wedding Venue: PGRM Dewan Wawasan, Cheras
Reception Venue: Holiday Villa Hotel, Subang, Selangor
Groom: Dr. Prenav Nair
Bride: Dr. Rashmi Ramakrishnan
Photographer: Camwork Photo
Videographer: Doodle Studio

Song and Artist: The Time of My Life by David Cook

Another love story was unfold... the knots are now being tied. 30th November 2008 marks the celebration of love for this lovely newly-weds, Dr. Prenav and Dr. Rashmi.

This is another traditional Indian Wedding video successfully done by our Doodle's team. The newly-weds had requested to screen their wedding day highlights on their dinner reception for guests' viewing. We had put quite a fair bit of effort in making the video highlights a creative yet memorable for the newly-weds couple & the guests.

On the reception night, the Groom (Dr. Prenav) has given the Bride (Dr. Rashmi) a surprise by performing 'live' singing of their song as they 'march-in' to the ballroom. It was such a touching moment for all the guests. During the reception, the Groom's family had dropped a surprise to the newly-weds right after their toast to the guests. The 'surprise' was that one of Prenav's cousins flew all the way back from Perth, Australia to attend and sang her self-composed song (which were composed specially for the newly-weds) "live" on the stage. Her presence took Prenav & Rashmi by surprise and they gave a warm hug to the cousin soon as she finished her "live" performance. And all in all, everyone had fun on that night and it certainly was a tiring week for the newly-weds as they had had all the happenings going on in a full week. However, they will still get to 're-live' the moments as they view their wedding videos and photos in the future.

Dr. Prenav & Dr. Rashmi Wedding - Speed Edit Wedding Highlights

Wedding Date: 30th November 2008
Reception Date: 1st December 2008
Wedding Venue: PGRM Dewan Wawasan, Cheras
Reception Venue: Holiday Villa Hotel, Subang, Selangor
Groom: Dr. Prenav Nair
Bride: Dr. Rashmi Ramakrishnan
Photographer: Camwork Photo
Videographer: Doodle Studio
Props: Doodle Studio
Songs Selection: by the Groom & Bride

It was Dr. Prenav and Dr. Rashmi's wedding day on the 30th November 2008. They had invited around 1200 relatives and friends to witness their wedding ceremony at the PGRM Dewan Wawasan Hall, Cheras. When we first met Rashmi (the bride) at PGRM about two weeks prior to the wedding, her family and herself were busy with the wedding preparations, and she was kind enough to have arranged her cousin and aunt (who were both playing the role as their wedding planner) to help us with whatever details that we needed to know. But one critical issue has arisen, which was to know that there would be another Indian wedding going on at the same time and on the same day as theirs, on the same floor, just across the Dewan Wawasan Hall. Well, this complicated things more. And the decision was to print the Couple's wedding picture in banner to guide guests, as to avoid them from entering into the wrong Hall on the wedding day. **Phew** Luckily everyone got into the right wedding hall and things went well on their wedding day. Truly a blessed wedding!

Soon after the wedding ceremony ended at Dr. Prenav (the groom)'s residence at Petaling Jaya, we rushed back to digitize the tapes in order to edit their wedding highlights video which were screened to their guests at their dinner reception on the day after. It was a rushy one but we enjoyed editing their video, as we could feel the happiness and love through the footage.

Without much ado, let's just enjoy the video clip... 3...2....1... Rollin' ...
