Keep Calm, We Got You

A destination wedding in Goa means flights, hotel rooms, bookings, venue hunting. You cannot be thinking about camera angles on top of all that. Our goal at What A Story is to capture a story for you. Every moment you want a story of, and every moment you don’t catch but know you’ll love seeing later. A story is always better with the little details included.

Why We’re Couples’ First Pick

What A Story focuses on your day, told the way you’ll enjoy looking back on it. With our experience and expertise in the field of destination wedding photography, Goa is like home ground to us.

We’re there for your early morning muhurthams, for your late-night sangeets, and beachy cocktail parties. We’re the go-to for big days and small moments both. If you’re looking for a tribe of photographers that can capture your vibe perfectly, you found us!

Candid Wedding Photography

Candids so good, you forget we were ever there. We’re always happy to stay close, capture the moments you didn’t see coming, and the reactions you didn’t plan. A laughing child holding onto you. A laugh from your partner at exactly the right time. Your cousins seeing if they can out-dance each other.

Wedding: yours. Film: yours.

Cinematic Wedding Films shot in Goa

Shot in 4K at every event, which matters here more than most places. A sea that turns gold at six, candle-lit sangeets and sunset ceremonies are all hard to hold detail in. Made to your taste, joined with our artistic expertise. Because candids are for memories, and the films are for the moments you’ll rewatch over and over again.

If you want a film edited the same day to play for your guests, we offer same-day edits as an add-on.

Your Goa vows, felt everywhere

Live Streaming Your Wedding

Not everyone can fly to Goa, but everyone can be part of your ceremony. We stream it live in HD, so family across the world watches your vows as they happen.

Grandparents in Hyderabad, cousins in London, friends across three time zones, all there in real time. The sunset, the music, the first look, the pheras or the exchange of rings, whichever ceremony you are having, they watch it with you.

Ceremonies We’ve Shot

Goa celebrates in many ways. We know how each of them runs.

Konkani Weddings

The roce ceremony, the blessing of the couple, vows at the church or the mandap, and then plenty of cheerful dancing.

Marathi Weddings

Starting with a haldi, watching the antarpat moment unfold, then your vidhi and saptapadi.

North Indian Weddings

From the Bollywood-esque sangeet to the party that is a mehendi, and finally a picturesque saptapadi to tie the knot.

Telugu and Kannada Weddings

The classic Kashi Yatra, a special moment at your jeelakarra bellam, and pointing out the Arundhati Nakshatram.

Muslim Weddings

The mehendi, the nikah itself and the walima after, with whatever separation the family observes.

From Goa to the Rest of India

  • Hyderabad: A short flight from Goa. A lot of Goa couples have family in the city, so we shoot the beach events in Goa and the wedding functions in Hyderabad.
  • Vizag: Two hours by air.  Worth it if your pre-wedding shoot is heading for hills and a quieter beach.
  • Vijayawada : We’ve photographed a wedding at the Banquet halls there. Worth a look if your ceremony is going to be a traditional temple wedding in Durga Mandir.

Pricing & Packages

Every couple has different dreams for their wedding pictures and shoots. So we build our packages around the couples themselves. Most of our couples start at ₹3,00,000 and can go up to ₹12,00,000 for their entire wedding. The final costs depend on your wedding itself, the size and scale of the team you’ll need. 

From Hello to See You Soon

We begin by listening to your plans. We love a good story and a well-organised couple to work with. From the first call to the final delivery, you’ll always know what comes next, including the dates everything lands on. You can read more about how we work and what we deliver.

Goa Is Just Chapter One

Your story with good photos doesn’t have to end when the beach party does. We also shoot maternity sessions, baby showers and newborn portraits, and you can book the same photographer who shot your Goa wedding. A familiar face makes everything feel easier, and the next chapter deserves the same care.

FAQs

01. Can we get married on the beaches in Goa?

Yes, and many couples do. A public beach ceremony needs permission from the local authorities. The simpler option is a private beach inside a resort for the length of your wedding, which is what most of the weddings we shoot here do. We will tell you which applies to your venue.

02. Do you travel for weddings outside Goa?

Yes while Goa is also a primary base for us, we travel across India and internationally for destination weddings. Share your date and venue and we'll confirm availability and travel logistics.

03. Can we shoot inside a church, a fort or a heritage site?

Often, yes. But rules differ by church and site, particularly around Old Goa. Some limit flash, tripods, or the number of people inside. We help you get in touch with the sites so you can work out the details.

04. Where do we get the best sunset photos?

Fort Aguada, Chapora Fort and Miramar Beach all work for golden hour. We usually schedule couple portraits about an hour before sunset so there is time to get in and out. Both forts need the licence in Q3, so tell us early if either is on your list.

05. We are planning from abroad. Does that work?

It is most of what we do. Our US base is in Dallas and our head office is in Hyderabad, so calls happen on your clock, we handle the Goa side on the ground, and the first time you meet us in person does not have to be your wedding week. We have shot in six countries, so an itinerary that crosses time zones is not new to us.
