In the fall of 2009, Pacific Pictures embarked on a journey to Udaipur, India, to document the three-day wedding of Melissa & Samir in a rather unprecedented way. Unlike a traditional documentary, their real, live wedding would be integrated into a fully scripted, produced concept movie, with the hope of telling the story of their wedding with a heightened emotional authenticity and dramatic scale. “CITY OF LAKES,” as Udaipur is often called, commemorates Melissa & Samir’s journey to the transcendent place of their ancestry and the joining of two families in light of their past and the promise of their future. This would be our biggest production to date and we’re excited to share more behind the scenes images to come… Stay tuned tomorrow, as we proudly debut the full length trailer.

Megan & Narbeh watched from the back of the reception hall - enjoy this bit of their reaction.
