A brief introduction about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-8d0e55cb9b5e8f6cb16c0cfe53e1bb94 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">My name is Indusara Lankanath Wijewickrama, and I am 25 years old. Lives in Pitakotte. In 2024, I graduated with a degree in Marketing Management from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. I am the founder of Ceylon Elegance (Pvt) Ltd, a wedding photography business dedicated to capturing timeless memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-6546de17b5851da8ea266b445754303f wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><strong>2. A brief explanation of how you entered this field?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-72390b45d6022a7cf422123f1027d66c wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">I began laying the foundation for my photography career during my university years. Our campus had a media unit called J\u2019pura Flames, which I joined in my first year. Through it, I learned many new skills and gained valuable experience, including photographing various campus events. This journey inspired me to start my own wedding photography company in my second year. The passion that sparked during those early days continues to drive me today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-62c4917e7b8144d66ccce22bef081e78 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><strong>3. What experiences and challenges have you faced in the field of photography so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-f6c71bd0bc6319517a992fd6f9fd7c59 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">When I first started, there were many challenges. Every wedding brought a new experience, and the first one was different. The locations changed, the hotels varied, and we worked with different vendors each time. In the beginning, adapting to all these changes was challenging. The people we met at every wedding were different-no two days were ever the same. However, we embraced these challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, and that mindset has brought us to where we are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-04069069ad83621a60653509822a2cce wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><strong>4. How many weddings have you photographed so far, and which one was the most special to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-3d11ed84112cb27cb89c175691dd8ed0 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">So far, we have covered approximately 350-400 weddings. Among them, my very first wedding holds a special place in my heart-it was my first real experience. I will always remember the customer who trusted us from the very beginning. However, every wedding is special to me, as we are given the honor of capturing one of the most beautiful days in a couple\u2019s life. Each wedding has brought us unique and unforgettable experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-353d4fbb47640d84d155ebeaa540c53e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><strong>5. How do you believe wedding photography enhances the significance of a couple\u2019s special day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-9159091d171d02e9aaa74f77e9afcc38 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">After a couple confirms their booking with us, we usually arrange about three meetings to finalize the agenda. During these sessions, we listen to their ideas and preferences and offer suggestions to help enhance their vision. We typically schedule the pre-shoot about three weeks before the wedding. First, we select the photoshoot location, and then we plan the ceremony, whether it\u2019s a church wedding or a Poruwa ceremony, carefully organizing every detail. A wedding is one of the most significant milestones in a couple\u2019s life, and photographs are the memories that last forever. We aim to capture natural, heartfelt moments. A special feature of our work is that we use three cameras to film from different angles- for example, we cover the Poruwa ceremony from three unique perspectives, ensuring every important moment is beautifully captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-8be0edb9af7bb0357cc5e7d374eb7c5c wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><strong>5. How do you support your clients when they entrust you with their wedding photography, and how can they contact you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-15d5a2ed0ff12bdf7ebf7c5a3d1530be wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">When a couple chooses us as their wedding photographers, we do more than just capture moments- we also assist with the wedding planning process. Couples often face challenges like selecting a color theme, dress code, locations, or finalizing the event agenda, and we are there to guide them through these decisions to make planning easier and stress-free. In addition, we deliver the photo albums within three months, while enlargements are ready within just one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-31b1a84d2c205a815d46f673c16d1056 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><strong>6. Your thoughts on Poruwa.lk, the wedding matchmaking service?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-565de3d76ae6c3412fd65d1689978e50 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">Poruwa.lk is a fantastic and innovative concept that significantly simplifies the process of finding a life partner. I wish them all the best in this exciting venture and hope it continues to help many people connect and find lasting relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-0a092d3ff35db112dc82202bbaa14686 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><strong>7. Finally, who would you like to thank for this successful journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-3adaad66544cfabbff31108392a94786 wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d like to take a moment to express my gratitude to my university, as it truly was the turning point in my life. I\u2019m also deeply thankful to my Ceylon Elegance team. Currently, we have about 25 members, with roughly 75% of them being my friends from campus. I\u2019d like to use this opportunity to thank each and every one of them for their support and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Indusara Lankaanath Wijewickrama, the young founder of Ceylon Elegance Wedding Photography, who turned his campus passion into a successful business capturing over 350 weddings.
