Let us transport you to a world where love knows no bounds, and where time is but a mere
companion on a journey of devotion. Welcome to the extraordinary love story of Gavin and
Nicolette, a duo whose life together has unfolded like a beautifully scripted dream.
A decade of shared laughter, heartfelt moments, and a world of memories led them to a place
where their love would be celebrated in all its glory. And where was this magical place, you ask?
None other than the grand and awe-inspiring Basilica of Bom Jesus in the heart of the vibrant
state of Goa.
The Basilica of Bom Jesus, known for its rich history and spiritual significance, is where Gavin
and Nicolette chose to begin the next chapter of their lives. It was a wedding that merged
tradition and faith, and we were there to capture every moment as it unfolded.
Capturing a Catholic wedding is not just about photography; it's about encapsulating the
essence of Indian wedding traditions with the sanctity of Catholic customs. Every smile, every
glance, every moment tells a story that's beautifully unique.
Before the grand day, there were intimate pre-wedding rituals - the Roce and Umacha Paani.
The Roce ceremony is a beautiful amalgamation of Goan and Catholic traditions, symbolizing
purity and blessings. The couple was anointed with a mixture of coconut milk and oil, signifying
the essence of purity and fertility.
As the wedding day approached, the excitement in the air was palpable. The Basilica stood
regal and ready to witness the union of two souls madly in love. The church was adorned with
resplendent floral arrangements, creating a breathtaking backdrop for a love story that
transcends boundaries.
The reception was a celebration of love like no other. Friends and family danced the night away,
honoring the union of Gavin and Nicolette. It was a night filled with laughter, joy, and pure love,
an evening etched into their memories forever.
As photographers, we didn't just capture moments; we documented the very essence of their
love. Gavin and Nicolette radiated happiness, and every photograph is a testament to the
pureness of their love.
Shooting a Catholic wedding is an experience like no other. It's like being part of a magical
fusion of tradition, culture, and love. It's about witnessing the commitment of forever in every
vow exchanged and the profound significance of every ritual performed.
In the end, Gavin and Nicolette's wedding was a celebration of a love that transcended time and
distance. The Basilica of Bom Jesus set the stage for their remarkable love story. At Hashtag
Affairs, we are humbled to be part of their journey, capturing the most special moments. Catholic
wedding photography offers a unique perspective, and this wedding is a testament to the
profound beauty of such ceremonies.
And there's a unique twist to their story, one that started in the bustling lanes of Bandra,
Mumbai. This story began with a chance meeting outside the iconic Bandra Gym. A decade
later, it culminated in a magnificent celebration at the Basilica of Bom Jesus.
