Lipton Jayawickrama and Pravithra De Mello (our back-up shooter when Lakna isn’t available) went down to Bentota at o’dark hundred in the morning of the 18th of April. Right after the long hot wedding in Gampha. Shows just how determined Lipton is to make his company, ShadeTree Productions, the best and most reliable in Sri Lanka!
The couple, Zaf and
Bridget, came from the UK with a heap load of friends! Little did they know
they landed smack dab into one of Sri Lanka’s hot spells. Thank goodness Ben at
Nisala Arena provided hand fans for everyone!
The chic boutique
hotel of Nisala Arena is situated landside from Bentota, with a large, large
garden that makes it perfect for weddings. In fact, we did our first Sri Lankan
wedding there, so many years ago. With another couple from the UK. The bride at
that wedding was a photography agent and had I known that before we did the wedding,
I would have been very nervous! But after she saw the photos, she said that
they were the best wedding photos she had ever seen!
It helps to have
such a great environment to shoot in. And also, Zaf and Bridget, were calm,
cool and collected in spite of the heat. And quite sexy, if I do say so.
Lipton finished
editing their video before they headed back to London and when they saw it,
they got choked up with emotion, just reliving the beautiful ceremony. They
also couldn’t have thanked Lipton enough for doing such a great job and being
so pleasant to work with! Yea for Lipton!
(We’ll post the video trailer soon!)
For now, here are
some of the photos from the day. It was hard to choose just a few!
