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.
Karuna & Santiago
When Kesang first called about her daughter Karuna's wedding, I knew this one would be special. A sunset celebration at their family home on Diwar Island, Goa? Count me in! That first call turned into the loveliest conversation about nature and permaculture – and before I knew it, I was invited over for tea.
​
Their home took my breath away – an old Portuguese house with modern touches and Bali-inspired details. While I couldn't make it to their vibrant Colombian celebration the night before, the stories of dancing and joy set the perfect tone for the wedding day. Karuna's getting-ready room, surrounded by banana leaves and tropical greenery, was a photographer's dream.
​
As the sun dipped lower, 150 guests gathered for the most authentic wedding ceremony I've witnessed. Karuna and Santiago's vows were refreshingly real, touching on life's ups and downs with remarkable honesty. Kesang and Anupam's warmth turned me from photographer to family. An evening rain shower led to the coziest night of stories and laughter, and waking up to Diwar Island's misty views was pure magic.
Karuna and Santiago, thank you for letting me capture your beautiful story. Here's a peek into their special day, with more photos coming soon.
