Capturing the beauty of each event was Ruben Chan, who provided both photography and videography for the wedding. His eye for detail preserved the magic of every moment, from Minal’s sparkling cream lehenga and Navin’s regal sherwani to the exhilaration of the baraat and the elegance of the reception. His journalistic-meets-editorial style allowed the couple to relive their wedding week with timeless images and cinematic storytelling.
For brides and grooms planning their own celebration, investing in a photographer and videographer who understand cultural traditions ensures your memories are preserved in their truest form.
Minal’s wedding look came together with the artistry of Alex Corbanezi. For the ceremony, Alex created a look that balanced tradition with modern glam, pairing soft, glowing skin with bold eyes that highlighted her intricate jewelry.
For the reception, he transformed her style into a striking evening look that paired beautifully with her dramatic black gown.
Brides planning destination weddings should choose a glam team skilled in multi-day events—someone who can create diverse looks while ensuring long-lasting results in tropical climates.
To truly get Minal wedding ready, Loto Mehndi designed intricate henna patterns for her that reflected both tradition and individuality. Each detail—from the delicate florals to the bold accents—added richness to her bridal look.
When booking your mehndi artist, it’s wise to provide inspiration photos in advance, ensuring they understand your preferred level of intricacy and style.
The baraat was a true showstopper. Navin rode in on a white horse adorned with an embroidered red blanket as friends and family danced alongside him with pink scarves flowing and music filling the air.
The energy amplified with live beats from Drums in Paradise, whose charismatic artists set the rhythm for an electrifying procession. With their vibrant drumming, they lifted spirits and brought the crowd together in celebration.
Couples planning their wedding should consider live dhol players or drummers for the baraat—it transforms the entrance into an unforgettable, high-energy experience.
Their ceremony unfolded beneath a breathtaking floral mandap decorated with cream and pink flowers, lush greenery, and soft aqua and pink draping. The flowers and décor, arranged through El Dorado Royale, added elegance while ensuring every detail flowed seamlessly with the resort’s planning team.
For couples, choosing floral and décor packages offered directly through the resort can be a smart way to simplify planning while also taking advantage of bundled value. Resorts like El Dorado Royale know their venues best and can often provide décor that feels both personalized and cohesive with the setting.
Their stage, accented by hexagons and cream-and-pink florals, created a modern yet romantic setting. Adding unique details like bubble guns not only entertains guests but also makes for unforgettable photos and memories.
