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.
Naina & Adit
From the very beginning, I was enveloped in a blanket of warmth and hospitality, feeling incredibly welcomed and at ease.
This feeling set the tone for Naina and Adit's extraordinary wedding at Taj Cidade, Goa. The love and excitement were palpable from the outset, creating an atmosphere where everyone eagerly anticipated celebrating this beautiful union.
What made this wedding stand out? Well, imagine my intrigue when I learned that both moms would be hosting the ceremony instead of the traditional paditji. This unconventional twist spoke volumes about the intimacy and uniqueness of their love story.
Throughout the celebration, emotions ran deep, and it was heartening to witness the older generation joyously dancing and having the time of their lives. Amidst all this, I, as the photographer, never felt like I was simply 'working.' Rather, I was part of something profoundly special—a sentiment that made this wedding truly remarkable.
