About chaniru.arw

I shoot for the moments you'll want to feel again, not just see again.

I'm Chaniru - a Sri Lanka based photographer working under the name chaniru.arw. My frames lean toward natural light, real reactions and the small unscripted seconds that usually get missed: a shared glance, a nervous laugh, a hand being held a little tighter.

Whether it's a full wedding weekend, an engagement shoot at golden hour, or a quiet portrait session, my approach stays the same - stay close, stay out of the way, and let the day tell its own story.

Looking through our final gallery was like reliving the magic all over again. The attention to detail was incredible, and every special moment was captured perfectly without feeling forced or overly posed. Highly recommend for any couple looking for a true professional.
