Hi, I’m Dananjaya Thalagune — the creative soul behind Ambient Portraiture.

What started as a quiet passion behind the lens has grown into a heartfelt journey of documenting love stories across Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom. At Ambient Portraiture, photography is more than just capturing images — it’s about emotion, connection, and the unforgettable magic of your wedding day.

From the golden beaches of Sri Lanka to the rolling hills of the UK, I seek out the genuine, unfiltered, and luminous moments that make your story beautifully yours. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a grand cultural celebration, every frame I create is led by feeling, light, and sincerity.

My purpose is simple — to help you relive your most meaningful moments, through imagery that’s natural, emotional, and timeless. I’m not just here to take photos. I’m here to honour your story — your heritage, your happiness, your journey together.

Message From the Owner

At Ambient Portraiture, I believe wedding photography is more than a skill — it's a craft shaped by passion, experience, and emotional connection. A wedding is one of life’s most beautiful chapters, and it deserves to be captured with care, honesty, and artistry.

Every couple’s story is unique, and it’s our responsibility as photographers to preserve their most meaningful moments — not through posed perfection, but through natural, heartfelt storytelling. When we truly feel the joy, love, and emotion of those we photograph, we go beyond simply taking pictures — we become part of their journey.

Whether it’s a wedding, engagement, or a casual concept shoot, I see each moment as an opportunity to create something timeless — a visual story that can be relived and cherished for generations.

Through Ambient Portraiture, together with my talented team, I’m proud to represent the creative spirit of Sri Lanka. Our mission is to showcase authentic love stories to the world — one frame at a time.
