Anbujawahar, a seasoned photographer with over a decade of experience capturing Sri Lanka’s essence, knows this well. He, along with Yohan, another talented Sri Lankan photographer, recently joined forces to create Ceylon Stories — a company dedicated to presenting a fresh perspective on wedding photography, particularly for the Tamil community.

Ceylon Stories: Redefining Candid Tamil Wedding Photography

Ceylon Stories goes beyond the posed shots. Their passion lies in capturing the raw emotions, the unscripted moments of joy, laughter, and tears that unfold throughout the wedding festivities. Imagine the bride’s radiant smile during the “Nalangu” ceremony, the groom’s nervous anticipation before the “Mangalya Dharanam,” or the unbridled joy of the “Maangalya Snanam.” Ceylon Stories aims to preserve these fleeting moments in a timeless way, ensuring these memories are cherished for generations to come.

Preserving Heritage Through Creative Storytelling

Anbujawahar understands the importance of these traditions. He says, “Tamil weddings are a beautiful blend of customs and rituals passed down through families. We strive to capture the essence of these traditions while incorporating a modern, candid approach to storytelling.”

A Perfect Blend of Experience and Innovation

Yohan brings a youthful energy and innovative vision to the table. Together, their combined experience ensures a seamless and stress-free experience for the couple. Ceylon Stories works closely with their clients to understand their unique love story and preferences, crafting a personalised photography experience that reflects the spirit of their special day.

More Than Just Photos: A Celebration of Your Love Story

Ceylon Stories isn’t just about capturing stunning visuals; it’s about creating a visual narrative that tells the story of your love. Their photographs become heirlooms, a window into a momentous occasion that will be cherished for years to come.

So, if you’re a Sri Lankan Tamil couple planning your wedding, and you’re looking for photographers who understand the cultural significance of your ceremony while offering a fresh, candid perspective, look no further than Ceylon Stories. Let them capture the magic of your Tamil wedding and create a visual masterpiece that celebrates your love story.
