About us

The Happy Pixel was born out of love and passion for blending two vibrant elements - visual art and weddings. Founded in 2019, The Happy Pixel prides itself on the diverse weddings it has covered in such a short time and the ever-increasing couples they have met! We are a team consisting of editors, videographers, cinematographers, and even singers and lyricists! The company was started by two friends, Nishant and Shailesh, with a shared dream of filming weddings and exploring the ever-evolving industry. The cinematic fineness we bring to the screen is a result of years of practice and dedication. 

 

Nishant Kanekar, the co-founder, completed his Bachelors in Fine Arts from the reputed Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Arts and has been working in the field of cinematography and film making for the past 7 years. Along with working as a commercial cinematographer, he has worked on multiple documentaries and weddings. He has also shot multiple destination weddings across India. Before starting The Happy Pixel, Nishant has filmed over 100 weddings as a freelance cinematographer and photographer. 

 

Fun fact: Nishant can handle almost every type of camera cinematically. He is a magician that way! Also, he is the primary editor for the footage shot.

 

Shailesh Dhodi, the second co-founder, also has completed his Bachelors in Fine Arts from Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Arts. Shailesh has been working in the field of photography for the past 7 years and has worked on various projects related to photojournalism.

 

Fun fact:  An ace photographer, he follows a medium of storytelling in his pictures. Every photograph he clicks is a validation of his vision behind taking the picture.
