Weddings

The most special day of your life deserves more from its photographs than the drab acknowledgement that you and your spouse were merely there. It deserves from them a celebration of the culmination of your love for each other through every shot and a crystallization of the joy & promise of that moment that will remain timeless. This is the promise of Gihan De Silva photography, that yours will not be just another formulaic album to prove that you had a wedding but rather that every once in a while when you open your wedding album, the memories of that day will come poignantly flooding back. To this end, Gihan – exemplifying his commitment to the utilization of new technology – has been at the vanguard of the use of both the 4D camera which lends dramatic effect to the backgrounds of pictures and a wedding album with a front page featuring a video screen to complement the still photos inside. Of course, as with all of Gihan’s work you can expect that his wedding photography too has been enriched by the cosmopolitanism of his photographic odyssey, and indeed true to form Gihan has shot weddings in locations as diverse from each other as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Washington DC, Texas, Florida, Sydney, Sri-Lanka & India.

Legacy

'The Passion of Pioneers.'

In 1942, Owen De Silva set out to express through pictures what in words were ineffable about the exoticism of this island, its people and their love. Olga Studios was the culmination of a pioneer's vision: to be ever on the cutting-edge of technology and always on the cusp of making history.

'The moment my father placed his beloved Hasselbad camera in my six year-old hands—I knew.'
GIHAN DE SILVA

It is the verve and inexhaustible energy of this vision that pulses through Gihan De Silva Photography and the very veins of its inspirational leader—Gihan De Silva himself.

'I have no eyes but my lens; I have no vision but my imagination.'
OWEN DE SILVA

Gihan Photo

About Gihan De Silva | One of the Top Ten Wedding Photographers in the World.

The camera merely a brush, the photograph merely a canvas and light merely watercolors in his hand—the master, Gihan De Silva—paints with flamboyant flourishes of his imagination. And in the immersive rapture of his art—you—his subject emerge and are immortalized as the cynosure of all eyes and for all time.
It is this ebullient passion and unwavering dedication to his art that culminated in Gihan De Silva being recognized as one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world by Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Abroad Magazine (UK). For Gihan as the scion of a great photographic legacy and as a proud Sri-Lankan it was indeed his finest hour and the crowning moment of a 75 year generational odyssey.
