I believe the best photos are the ones that make you feel something. My goal is to capture your day in a real and honest way, so years from now you can look back and remember not just how it looked, but how it felt. I want you to enjoy every moment with the people you love while I quietly capture the laughter, happy tears, hugs, and all the little moments in between. When you choose me, you're not just hiring a photographer. You're choosing someone who truly cares about your experience, treats your wedding like it's my own, and is there to help you feel comfortable every step of the way. At the end of the day, I hope you walk away with more than beautiful photos. I hope you have memories you can feel every time you look back at them.
Meet Shenal
Photographer, Husband, and Child of God
Honest storytelling rooted in emotion, connection, and real moments.
When I was around 15 years old, my friend and I used to take photos just for fun. I didn’t even have my own camera, but he was kind enough to let me borrow his for all my small, messy, random shots.
They weren’t perfect at all, but I loved it. That’s when I started falling in love with photography without even realizing it.
My first wedding was a long 12 hour day, and I remember feeling nervous but excited. As the day unfolded, I found myself completely drawn into every moment. The quiet getting ready, the emotions during the ceremony, the laughter, the energy. I loved every second of it.
That one wedding slowly turned into another, and over the years I’ve had the honor of documenting 500+ happy couples and still counting.
HOW IT
started
In 2023, I moved from Sri Lanka to Vancouver, Canada and started a whole new chapter with my beautiful wife Dhanushika. Everything was new, but my love for storytelling stayed the same.
Today, I still believe the best photos are the honest ones. The quiet moments, the big emotions, the laughter, the connection, and the feeling of being fully present with the people you love most. I truly believe God’s blessing is everything to me, and I’m grateful every day that I get to continue telling these stories.

A little about me
-Raley & Eugene
"We had our wedding about two months ago. I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Shenal. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. Plus he’s so friendly!! He made the entire process smooth and comfortable, and the final photos exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail and ability to capture natural moments truly stand out. I would highly recommend Shenal to anyone looking for high quality photography."
-Bettina & Daniel
"We had our wedding back in August 2025 in Victoria, BC. Shenal was extremely professional, friendly and proactive! He was quick to reply to emails, and gave us different options for what our vision was for our wedding photos. On the wedding day, he showed up very early to the wedding site to ensure he was familiar with the place in advance, he is also very knowledgeable and suggested poses and took some really great pictures! Hands down recommended :)"
-Paulina & Scott
"We had such an amazing experience with Shenal from start to finish. He offered a variety of beautiful location options and gave us the freedom to choose the one that felt most “us,” which made the whole session feel really personal right from the beginning. He captured us in such a natural, and authentic way. If you’re looking for someone who not only delivers stunning photos but also creates a relaxed and enjoyable experience, I can’t recommend him enough."
-Forum & Amrin
"Shenal was very easy to communicate with and super kind! He was very attentive in listening to what we wanted for our engagement ceremony and captured exactly what we were looking for. He was very flexible with the day of too with adjusting when I was running late and always checked in if there were any other photos we wanted to capture. Highly recommend Shenal for any event!!!"
-Jasmine & Tristan
"We just had our engagement photos done by Shenal and they honestly blew us away! The photos speak for themselves. Working with Shenal was effortless, just felt natural and fun. The style of the photos bring out the natural beauty of the surroundings without feeling over edited. Worth noting is that due to unforeseen circumstances at our original shoot location, we had to last minute change the location of the shoot and we didn’t even feel stressed - plus this location was even better than we dreamed!"
-Mel & Tony
"We had such an amazing experience with Shenal for a fun golden hour photoshoot. From the planning process, to the photoshoot, to even after the photoshoot, Shenal made us feel completely comfortable. He had great insight when it came to picking a time and location, and knew how to capture the perfect real moments. There was no shortage of laughter the whole time and it just felt like we were having a fun evening hanging out with friends. We got our photos much quicker than expected and we are so so happy with how they turned out! Highly recommend Shenal!"
