It was a rather chilly morning as Sudhanshu and I headed to Sinquirim looking forward to meet Itisha and Eklavya. Definitely the only time of the day when it really feels like winter in Goa. We must say we connected with them in an instant and as we did, Itisha came out to be one of the most camera comfortable people we've shot, sure you could see that through the photographs, even though she attested of herself tending to be awkward.
Although I agree it is a task getting up early to catch the sunrise while it's real dark outside being winter and you've got 2 hours to make it possible to be just in time. I am always enchanted by the fact that love makes us spin the world upside down. After all it's that very bond which we as Photographers like to capture in frames so you could cherish them years and decades down the lane.
Itisha, Eklavya and us strolled by the sea, shared a bite at Bhonsle which in our view is no doubt the best place to grab Goan snacks, explored the colorful streets of Goa and ended the day by the breathtaking view from one of our favourite most chai spots.
Marlene & Burton
Last week we were at Marlene & Burton's wedding that overflowed with joy and warmth. I could feel the kindness and love their families exuded and everyone revelled in the fun-filled vibe. We met Marlene at her brother Cornell's intimate wedding that we shot back in 2021. Honestly, we were sure to have a great time meeting the family again and getting to shoot the Mangalore fun.
The couple wanted us to capture them authentically without posing, allowing us the freedom to express our creativity. This trust established an invisible connection, and we were able to capture the raw and defining moments that showcased their personalities and love. For us the request was not just a directive, but a call to trust, a bond of faith that spoke about their connection with each other and with us. It was as if they had handed us the key to unlock the gates of their souls. The story of how they met and fell in love is truly inspiring - a testament to the power of having a partner who listens and nurtures. That's what made documenting them a delightful experience for us.
The ceremonies started with roce that turned into a wild, saucy, spicy, delicious affair making it a toss war full of laughter.
The next day we shot their vows at the Varca Church followed by the Reception at Silva Heritage in South Goa. The venue looked like a scene straight out of a fairytale. We must say that the decor team did wonders transforming the space into a magical destination creating an enchanting night.
In all, it was a wedding that will forever be etched in our memory as a magnificent celebration of love, family, and the magic of two souls coming together as one. Thank you once again for entrusting us with your big day, we'd love to do so much more in just a blink for the both of you.
