\\ Journal Entry: Nim & Akila ✨
The day started at Nim’s place where the whole family was getting ready in true Sri Lankan fashion. Dad with the boys, the girls all crammed into the master bedroom doing their makeup and helping each other get ready. A kind of cohesive chaos but somehow so calm at the same time. Everyone doing their own thing but still doing it together. I found that so wholesome.
Something I loved about this wedding was how nobody seemed to be too worried about the time. The whole day just had this lovely ease to it. Even during the ceremony, Nim and Akila were giggling, exchanging little words and chatting with their guests between vows. It was far from a performance. Just two people being themselves, surrounded by people they love.
And after the whole wedding, we somehow ended up at the beach just to chill. There wasn’t even a plan to take photos but we ended up taking a few anyway, and I’m so glad we did.
I think one of my favourite things about photographing weddings is getting to notice all the little things happening around the big moments. The expressions, the little exchanges, things that the couple themselves probably didn’t even realise were happening because they were so busy living through it all.
A little piece of their day, as I saw it. 🤍
