The story of Maleesha & Dilshan.
Maleesha and Dilshan's wedding began with the quiet of the morning: Maleesha having her hair done, and her shoes, rings and jewellery laid out on blue velvet beside her bouquet. She wore an ivory saree and a long veil that the wind loved all day.
Their portraits are some of the most alive we have made. Forehead to forehead by the lake. Dilshan kissing her cheek while she smiled. Maleesha in her saree by an old wooden door. Then a run of black and white frames full of movement, with her veil flying as he kissed her hand and Dilshan lifting her into the air.
We chose black and white for part of their story because it suits them. It strips away everything except the two of them and the shape of the moment.
We filmed their wedding too, and their wedding movie is linked below.
