Maqsood & Zahra

Maqsood and I are best friends turned lovers. We met in Dubai few years back through a mutual friend from Bangalore and we clicked on the first day itself. I admired him and i knew we would become best friends. The funny thing which not many people know is that I had taken the proposal of my cousin sister to him initially And at that time he said “I am not interested in getting married as of now”. My brothers are my best friends and are the most important people in my life. Although they wanted me to settle, they would reject guys for the smallest flaws. It was Maqsood that they were really fond of and they always said that they had never come across anyone like him. That he was the most genuine person. He was always considered as family by us. Eventually they thought we make a good pair and wanted us to get married. They spoke to Maqsood about me and then he proposed to me. I remember very well that I did not even take a second to say ‘yes’. When we got the green signal from our family members we decided to take the step. We always knew there was some thing magical and special about our friendship. Everything fell into place miraculously. Alhamdulillah.
Wedding Tips: Be ready on time For Sangeet / Shukrana get the venue for the whole day so that people can enjoy to the fullest
Silon Talkies was just the Best! it was the best decision to work with silon talkies. We have never come across such a passionate and dedicated team. The team reached before time and was the last to leave after covering the event. They were always smiling and made sure we did too. We had no idea how to pose and we had not decided on what kind of pictures we need as a couple but they guided us at every step and we were flavbergasted when we saw the pics. They were just fabulous and beautiful. Everyone loved them. The best part was how the teasers were made capturing all important bits of the each event. We were really touched by the results. It is of utmost importance to have the most special event of your life to be captured nicely so that you can always reminisce the memories. What also really mattered to us was that the pictures and videos to be delivered in a timely manner. We got a couple of teasers and some pics within a week so we were really impressed. There are a lot of good photographers in the market but we always heard our friends complain that the pics were not delivered on time. Silon talkies deserves a 10/10. They are extremely professional and we totally enjoyed working with them. We have already decided to hire them for all future events and have started recommending them to others. Kudos to the team!
