Taking bookings for the 2026 season
Nine years photographing weddings and fashion across Sri Lanka and the south of India. Quiet on the day, obsessive in the edit, and every finished gallery in your hands inside three weeks.
The story
The speeches and the signing will be covered. They are not usually the photographs you keep.
I came to weddings sideways, through four years of editorial work where nobody was allowed to look at the camera. That habit stuck. I spend most of a wedding day about six metres away, waiting.
What that buys you is a gallery your family recognises — your father in the moment before he speaks, not arranged into a line against a wall. Where you do want the group portraits, we schedule them properly so they take fifteen minutes rather than ninety.
Since 2016 that has been two hundred and forty weddings, a dozen campaigns, and a delivery promise I have never broken: twenty-one days, written into the contract.
What I shoot
Every booking begins with a call and a venue walk. Dates hold for seven days without a deposit.
Two photographers from the first preparation shot to the last dance, with a second camera that never leaves the room you are not in.
From LKR 165,000
Two hours somewhere that already means something to you. It is also the cheapest way to find out whether you like being photographed by me before the wedding.
From LKR 38,000
Lookbooks, catalogue and campaign days, shot with a full crew.
From LKR 120,000
Studio or daylight, delivered within four working days.

Anywhere on the island, and most of South Asia with notice.
Two-day weddings, three religions in one afternoon, a shoot on a moving train — I have photographed all three. Tell me the awkward part first.

Four of them, all happy to take a call — ask and I will put you in touch.
We barely noticed him all day, which was exactly the brief. Then the gallery arrived and half of it was moments we did not know had happened. My mother has cried at it twice.
Twenty-two looks in a morning and he never once rushed a model. The selects were with our buyer the same afternoon, which has never happened with any photographer we have used.
He colour-matched every frame to our fabric swatches on set rather than arguing about it in post. The campaign went to print without a single correction round.
We recommend three photographers to couples who book the hall. Ruwan is the one we recommend first, because he is the only one who has never once been late with a gallery.
Contact
The date, the venue and roughly how many people. That is enough for me to come back with a price.
