The Setting
Meadowood is a discreet luxury property in the heart of Napa Valley. The Hindu ceremony required a mandap-facing anchor camera, which we planned with the couple’s priest and their family faith liaison two weeks before.
The Cultural Considerations
We worked with the family’s advisor on shot framing during the seven pheras and on the specific rituals that were not to be filmed close-up. The couple’s parents in Delhi and Mumbai received a private, high-resolution stream link with a chat channel for their siblings.
The Broadcast
Three separate streams over three days — mehndi, sangeet, and ceremony — each with the same production team. The main ceremony broadcast held a peak concurrent audience of 310 households.

The mandap-facing camera position was worked out with our priest. It respected the ritual. It made my parents in Delhi feel the weight of every mantra.
