Destination weddings · Sri Lanka
Destination weddings in Sri Lanka.
For couples flying in from abroad: hill country, south coast or heritage town. We know the island, and we'll help you plan around it.
Coming home, or coming for the first time.
Sri Lankan couples living in Australia, the UK, the Middle East and Europe often come home to get married with their families around them, and other couples simply fall for the island and want to marry here. Either way, you are planning a wedding in a country you can't drop into for a site visit, and that is where a local team helps.
We are a Sri Lankan studio. We have photographed and filmed weddings for ten years, we work in English and Sinhala, and we know the venues, the light and the rituals. We'll be your eyes on the ground before the day and your photographers and filmmakers on it.

Where to get married.
The hill country around Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Ella gives you cool air, tea estates, misty mornings and lake views. The south coast, from Bentota to Galle, gives you palms, ocean and sunsets, and the old Dutch fort in Galle makes a beautiful backdrop for portraits. The cultural triangle around Sigiriya and Dambulla suits couples who want heritage and big skies. Colombo has the grand hotels for a large reception.
Sri Lanka has two monsoon seasons that affect different coasts at different times of year, so the right region depends on your month. Tell us your dates and we'll tell you honestly what the weather and light are likely to be, and which places we'd look at.
Planning help and remote delivery.
We'll plan the coverage with you over WhatsApp, email or video calls in your time zone, help you build a timeline that works with the local light and traditions, and share what we know about venues and the people who run them. On the day, the same team covers photography and film.
Afterwards your photographs arrive in a private online gallery that your family can open from anywhere, and your films are delivered digitally, so nothing waits on you being in Sri Lanka.
