Kopal Dixit and Sahil Jain, Riva Beach Resort, Goa
Intimate, colourful and packed with emotion - this couple’s destination wedding in Goa was breezy!
Punctuated by candid moments and raw emotions – Kopal Dixit and Sahil Jain’s wedding in Goa was a celebration of their love that has withstood many tests. Photographed by WeddingSutra Favorite – Jumping Souls, this wedding flaunted an array of fun-filled moments which were flawlessly captured!
How They Met
Kopal shares, “We were introduced by our mutual friend at a party. And, once we started chatting, I came to know that he lived right across my street! One conversation led to another and we soon realised that we both liked eating out which led to us starting our dating journey.”
Wedding Planning
Impressed by the dedication Jumping Souls showcased while capturing their wedding, Kopal shares, “Jumping Souls has an inherent capability to bring out emotions in people that they themselves are unaware of. The wedding video was a whirlwind of emotions, laughter and love. It’s like we almost had our own movie. We cried, laughed and reminisced about our journey from being lovers to life partners in that one-hour video. The team is also very accommodating of any changes that you would want in the video, understanding all your needs. The pictures also were what we wanted- natural, candid and perfectly captured shots. It’s the timing of the shot which made it picture-perfect.
The great team we had made the experience for the guest and us memorable. I remember this one instance during our Haldi function where everyone jumped in the pool. I was a bit sceptical because of my lenses and my photographer urged me to just remove the lenses and get into the pool! And, it turned out to be the most enjoyable event of the entire wedding!
All their efforts reflect in their work. I would recommend Jumping Souls as they deliver memories, not just images and videos.”
Wedding Functions
Engagement
The celebrations kicked off with an open-air engagement hosted on a lawn. After exchanging rings and cutting the cake, the duo danced the night away with their friends surrounded by fairy lights and pastel blooms.
Haldi
At their playful best, the couple had a gala time during the poolside haldi. Basking in the sun, both of them enjoyed a flower shower and were playfully slathered with a turmeric mixture. Later, everyone dived into the pool to cool off!
Wedding
Flanked by the gorgeous views of Goa’s shoreline, the wedding was romantic and breezy. Decked up with baby’s breath blooms and lit up by warm, golden fairy lights, the wedding witnessed many emotional as well cheerful moments as the couple embarked on a new chapter in their lives.
Reception
Saving the best for the last, the reception was cosy yet glamorous as the couple made a grand entry hand in hand with their loved ones cheering them on and holding up sparklers. White globe-shaped lanterns lit up the open-air venue while the couple celebrated their love under the starry sky.
Advice For Couples
Kopal shares, “One person always contributes more to the planning than the other. Usually, it’s the brides. Keep your calm and make sure your partner is also doing his/ her share of the work. Pay attention to the small details and distribute the workload. And relax, prepare your mind, body, and soul for the beautiful journey you are about to embark on.”
