Colorful Hindu Wedding and Homecoming! Yea Again for Google!

Isabel and Ravi came to Sri Lanka from Switzerland to have their Hindu wedding in super style. They contacted us through Google! Yea again for Google!

It was a 2-day affair. The first day was the traditional Hindu wedding ceremony, which is always fun because it’s colorful, filled with the music of drums and small trumpets, the hustle of activity on the Hindu wedding stage, the Manavarai, where the priest conducts the traditional ceremony for the bridal couple, and lots of comings and goings of family members.

Their second day event was a full-on Homecoming reception with family and friends; with lighting the oil lamp, cutting the cake, toasts, dancing and lots of fun!

We did both the photography and the videography for both days. Watch below. Please share!

Enjoy!!

Super Sexy Swimsuit Model Shoot!

I received an email on Saturday requesting us to do a shoot for two European swimsuit models staying down in Weligama as they travel around SE Asia. They wanted the shoot to happen the next day, Sunday, or Monday at the latest as they were leaving Sri Lanka on Tuesday. How’s that for short notice!

They found us on Google. Yea! for Google and for doing business over the internet!

After several emails back and forth, we worked out a time on Monday (as Lipton was busy with an all-day shoot on Sunday) and the price of the shoot. Everyone was happy. Lipton had a wedding video shoot to do on Monday evening and I knew he’d be tired working from 6:30am until Midnight, but I saw pictures of the models on the covers of Playboy Germany and I knew he would love taking their photos!

You look at the photos he took and tell me if you think he loved doing the shoot!

Spoiler alert: This is a swimsuit shoot! With bikini models! Oh, and some yoga shots...

Brunette beauty and blonde beauty.

Comfortable in front of the camera.

They have the best butts!

No wonder they can wear bikinis!

Janni and Sylvi are also surf models.

They love the sun.

Girls know how to have fun!!

More fun!

Now the yoga...

I never looked that good doing yoga!

Well, maybe when I was their age!

Now for cooling off.

I love this shot!

Such great colours!

Sweeeet!

The final shot of the day!

Does Lipton look like a happy photographer???

WOW! Bursting With Pride!

Lipton on a zip line, filming.

It’s either the caffeine I imbibed this morning, or I’m having a heart attack, or I am simply bursting with pride! I think it’s the pride thing.

Lipton (as in Lipton Jayawickrama – remember that name!) worked on a commercial video for Borderlands Sri Lanka, for Annoyboy Pictures. He was the Director of Photography for the film and did all of the shots, except the underwater whale shots. He was gone for several days, up in Kittugalle and down south in Mirissa, doing this project and I had an idea of what it was about, but when I saw the video this morning I was BLOWN AWAY!

Now it’s YOUR turn to be blown away!

Enjoy!
