A wedding sets off two souls on an adventurous journey of lifelong companionship and love.
With destination weddings being the flavour of the season, Amogh and Aparna selected one of the most exotic locations in India to mark their wedding: Goa.
Destination Weddings in Goa can be fun filled, this one was breathtaking.
Amogh and Aparna are both doctors by profession. So when it comes to matters of the heart, they both know very well what they want, which is why they zeroed in on The Zuri White Sands, Goa Resort & Casino as the venue for their big day.
The spacious property of Zuri Goa offers a spectacular combination of excellent landscapes and a private beach. We had a fabulous time capturing priceless moments of this beautiful Tamil wedding in Goa.
Lovely Traditional Engagement Ceremony
Aparna and Amogh’s wedding celebrations began with the engagement ceremony. Amogh arrived for the ceremony in a vintage car, followed by his baraat. The baraatis had a lot of fun as they danced to the beats of dhol. They were given a grand welcome by the bride’s side.
The vibrant décor of the venue set the mood for the celebrations. Festooned in pink and yellow, the bright props and fresh flowers presented a sight to cherish.
The couple decided to wear colour-coordinated outfits for the occasion. While the groom looked handsome in his pale yellow-green attire, the bride complemented his look by wearing a saree of the same colour. She matched it with a magenta-pink blouse and stone-studded jewellery.
The couple exchanged rings, following all the traditions. After the ceremony, we took Aparna and Amogh for a couple-shoot in another part of the venue.
A Spectacular Sangeet Event
For the Sangeet, the outdoor venue was decked up with plenty of lights and props. A well-decorated stage was set up against the backdrop of the night sky.
The couple made a grand entry to the venue, with pyros lighting their way. They looked picture-perfect as they walked in hand-in-hand, sporting matching off-white outfits with intricate, colorful floral designs on them.
The Sangeet was marked by a lot of lively dance performances by the friends and family of the couple. The highlight of the evening was a special dance performance by the couple. They mesmerized everyone with their dance moves. Later, everyone joined in the revelry and had a fabulous time dancing and enjoying themselves.
We did a couple-shoot before the evening came to an end. The lighted props against the blanket of darkness proved to be an ideal background. Aparna and Amogh looked so much in love, and it was marvellously reflected in the photos as well.
A Fairy-Tale Tamil Wedding
A Tamil wedding on a beach in Goa – Aparna and Amogh’s wedding had all the elements of a fairy-tale wedding infused with traditions. The beach venue decorated with fresh flowers in pastel shades looked incredibly enchanting.
For her special day, Aparna dressed up in a bright red saree. She accessorized her look with golden ornaments. We took several bridal shots where she looked super pretty. Before she went to the mandap, she sent a beautiful letter and gift to her groom.
In keeping with the traditions, Amogh wore a white outfit with a golden border for his wedding. When he received Aparna’s letter, he read it delightedly, with much interest.
Aparna entered the venue under a phoolon ki chaadar. As she walked to the mandap, the family blew bubbles to add a magical touch to her entry. It was endearing to watch her groom wait for her eagerly at the mandap.
The couple followed all the rituals of a traditional Tamil wedding. Among the key rituals were the thali and the pheras, where they walked hand-in-hand around the holy fire. When it was time for the groom to put sindoor on his bride’s forehead, he happily did so and performed the other rituals.
Once the wedding was over, we took photos of the couple with their friends and family. The best part was when we took the couple to the beach. We shot some amazing photos of the newlywed couple against a glittering background of the sand, sun, and sea.
We will cherish the memories of this lovely couple and their Goa Destination Wedding for a long, long time.
