What happens when you put a filmmaker and a photographer together who’ve survived 500+ South Asian weddings between them? Chaos, calm, and a lot of lessons. In this episode of The Wedding Edit, Waqar (filmmaker & founder of Cine Wedding Stories) and Nik (photographer & founder of Aroha Stories) open up about:
- How they started with one battery, one camera, and a lot of faith.
- The mistakes that shaped them (and how you can avoid them).
- Why South Asian weddings are unlike anything else in the world.
- How to balance family chaos, timelines, and still capture pure magic.
- Why storytelling matters more than gear, and why lighting is everything.
- The advice they’d give any couple planning a big multi-day wedding.
If you’re planning your wedding, working in the industry, or love hearing the behind-the-scenes truths, this one’s for you.
