A Bollywood-Worthy Surprise Proposal: Sandip & Gurleen in St. Lucia
When Sandip reached out to me about capturing his surprise proposal to Gurleen in St. Lucia, I knew it was going to be an extraordinary moment. Flying me all the way from New York City to this tropical paradise spoke volumes about his commitment to making this day unforgettable. Sandip had orchestrated an elaborate plan that was nothing short of magical, proving that love truly knows no bounds.
The Setting: St. Lucia’s Enchantment
Gurleen had visited St. Lucia once before and had fallen in love with the island's breathtaking beauty. She had even mentioned to Sandip how much she wanted to return and relive their private beachfront dinner experience. Little did she know, Sandip had planned something far beyond her wildest dreams at the newly opened Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa, which began welcoming guests on June 1st.
As the sun set over the Caribbean Sea, the stage was set—a long red carpet strewn with rose petals, lined with glowing candles and lanterns, leading to a heart drawn in the sand. At the end of this aisle was an opulent setup with flowing drapes, fresh flowers, and Indian music softly playing in the background. The scene looked like it was straight out of a Bollywood movie—a fitting tribute to the couple’s heritage and love story.
The Moment: Surprise, Laughter, and Tears
Hidden behind a speaker, I anxiously awaited Sandip’s cue. He texted me, “We’re walking from the lobby holding hands.” As they strolled down, Sandip began pouring his heart out, telling Gurleen how much she meant to him. However, Gurleen, in her innocent charm, thought they were about to crash someone else’s proposal! “Sandip, pay attention, you’re about to walk into somebody else’s setup,” she insisted, tugging his hand to steer him away.
When they finally stepped onto the red carpet, realization began to dawn on Gurleen’s face. As they reached the beautifully decorated setup, Sandip dropped to one knee and proposed. Overwhelmed with emotion, Gurleen burst into tears of joy, her surprise quickly transforming into pure happiness.
With the golden hues of the Caribbean sunset reflecting off the water, the moment felt like a dream—a perfect blend of romance, tradition, and the unmatched beauty of St. Lucia.
Capturing the Celebration: Portraits at Secrets St. Lucia
After the proposal, we explored the stunning grounds of Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa for portraits of the newly engaged couple. The resort’s lush greenery, pristine beachfront, and modern architecture provided a picturesque backdrop for their engagement photos. Gurleen’s radiant smile and Sandip’s adoring gaze spoke volumes about their love for each other.
