Goa  Pre-wedding Location

A pre-wedding shoot in Goa is a celebrated way for couples to capture their love story against one of India’s most picturesque and diverse backdrops.It typically involves professional photography and videography at multiple unique locations over the course of a half-day or full-day.

Here is a detailed description of what a Goa pre-wedding shoot entails:

Goa Yacht Pre-Wedding Shoot

 

Ideal Time: Late Afternoon to Sunset (The Golden Hour) is highly recommended for the best lighting. Early Morning (Sunrise) is also a beautiful choice, offering calm waters and soft light.

Yacht Rental Cost (Chartering the Yacht Only)

Yachts are typically rented for a minimum of 2 hours for a pre-wedding shoot.

  • Standard / Smaller Yacht (up to 6-10 people, for 2 hours):
    • Roughly ₹10,000 to ₹20,000 INR for a 2-hour package.
  • Luxury / Mid-size Yacht (for 2 hours):
    • Roughly ₹20,000 to ₹40,000 INR for a 2-hour package.
  • Premium / Larger Catamaran or Super Yacht:

Para Coconut Road

Timing is Critical: Sunrise (Early Morning) is the best time. The road is a functional village road, and traffic can be a major issue, especially in the evening. Shooting early morning ensures the iconic, empty road look.

Respect Locals: Be mindful that this is not a designated park but a residential area. Do not block traffic or trespass on adjacent private fields.

Permit: You generally do not need a permit for a standard couple’s pre-wedding shoot at this public road. However, for large commercial shoots (like advertisements) or if your photography team has an extensive setup, they may require local permissions.

Keri Bridge

The Keri Foot Bridge (also known as Keri Bridge or Keri Sattari Footbridge) in Goa is an excellent choice for a pre-wedding shoot, especially for couples seeking a rustic, tranquil, and nature-centric backdrop away from the crowded beaches.

LocationKeri village, in the Sattari taluka of North Goa. It is an inland, off-the-beaten-path location, closer to the Western Ghats.

Generally No Direct Fee. The Keri Foot Bridge is a public area/village infrastructure. There is typically no entry or photography fee for standard pre-wedding shoots.

Anjuna Beach

Anjuna Beach is a popular location for pre-wedding photoshoots in Goa, known for its unique atmosphere and scenic features.

Location: North Goa, known for its bohemian and hippie culture.

Entry/Permits: Generally, shooting on the public beach itself does not require a special permit or have an entry fee. However, always confirm with your photographer, especially if you plan to use extensive props or equipment, or shoot near a private property/resort.

Cabo De Rama Beach

Cabo De Rama Fort and its adjacent beach is an excellent and popular choice for a pre-wedding photoshoot in South Goa, offering a perfect blend of history, drama, and natural beauty.

Location: South Goa, near Canacona. It is more secluded and less crowded than the popular North Goa spots.

Best Time of Day: Sunrise or the Golden Hour (just before sunset) are highly recommended.

Note: As Cabo De Rama is located in South Goa, plan your day accordingly, especially regarding travel time from your accommodation, as it’s a significant drive from North Goa.

Colorfull Streets/Fontainhas/Latin Quarters

Fontainhas, Panjim’s famous Latin Quarter, is one of the most distinctive and colorful locations in Goa for a pre-wedding photoshoot, offering a vibrant, European, and vintage aesthetic that is a beautiful contrast to the typical Goan beaches and forts.

Location: Fontainhas (or Bairro das Fontainhas), the Old Latin Quarter of Panjim, the capital city of Goa

Best Time of Day: Early Morning (Sunrise/7:00 AM – 9:00 AM)

Best Season: November to February is the best time, as the weather is most pleasant for an outdoor shoot, and the houses are traditionally repainted after the monsoon, ensuring the colors are at their most vibrant.

Permits and Fees:

  • The streets are public property, and there is generally no entry fee to Fontainhas.
  • However, be extremely respectful of the residents. Keep your equipment minimal, avoid blocking doorways or staircases, and maintain a low profile. Remember, these are people’s homes.
  • No Commercial Setup: Avoid large, elaborate setups with props, external lighting, or massive crew, as this can disturb the residents and may draw unwanted attention or scrutiny.

Noise and Privacy: Keep noise levels to a minimum. You are a guest in a quiet, historic neighborhood.

Aguada Fort

Aguada Fort in Goa is a popular and picturesque location for pre-wedding shoots, offering a blend of historic architecture and stunning sea views.

Photography Permits: For professional pre-wedding shoots, you should confirm if a special commercial photography permit is required, though many sources suggest simple photography doesn’t require one. It is always best to check with a local photographer or the fort authorities well in advance.

Timings: The fort generally has set visiting hours, often around 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM (check local timings before planning). If you want a sunrise shoot (to avoid crowds), you may need to coordinate special access or use the exterior areas if the main gates are closed.

Proposal setups

Goa is an incredible choice for a romantic beachside proposal and pre-wedding shoot! You have many options for setups and locations.

Basic to Mid-Range Beach Proposal Setups (e.g., cabana, candles, rose petals, small sign): Approximately ₹4,999 to ₹16,999 INR

More Elaborate or Luxury Beach Proposal Setups (e.g., “Marry Me” letters, private dining, professional photographer, guitarist): Approximately ₹15,000 to over ₹35,000 INR and higher for custom luxury experiences.
