Discover a limitless cinematic experience
Pacific Pictures is widely regarded as one of the best wedding cinematography studios in the world. With a groundbreaking cinematic artistry that has set a global industry standard, Pacific Pictures has created some of the most prolific wedding films for high profile clients in some of the most exotic destinations on the planet.
Karen & Aakash’s exotic luxury wedding in Bali was a destination celebration at the Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Resort that joined friends and family from around the world for a week of beach side festivities under bright blue skies and crystal clear waters. The events were officially kicked off by a vibrant Rajasthani themed mendhi sangeet night, where choreographed dance performances were followed by a fun night of garba.

Could a fictional narrative capture the true meaning behind a real, live event with more drama and emotion than a traditional documentary? These were some of the questions that arose when we conceived the “City of Lakes” project, an unprecedented attempt to combine a fully scripted narrative with Melissa & Samir's real, live wedding. The live wedding and production would be shot simultaneously on-location in Udaipur, India over nine days. Upon completion, "City of Lakes" would become the first wedding concept film ever to be produced on this scale.
“City of Lakes” is as much a story about what it means to return to one's homeland as it is an exploration of Vedic tradition and the rituals of a Hindu marriage. Melissa & Samir had always dreamed of being married in India. We hope this film helps them cherish that dream in ways otherwise impossible through traditional videography. We're thankful for the acting talents and professionalism of Anubhab Saha, Sharon Chawda and Rushad Rana, and the amazing support of sponsors Canon USA, Tiffen-Steadicam, and Cinevate. There is a final question we hope you’ll find difficult to answer as you watch this film: "what is real?" Pacific Pictures also invites you to enjoy the "City of Lakes" Wedding Concept Video Trailer.
