Mishan Warnakulasuriya
Fashion & Wedding Photographer
There's something magical about the California coast—the golden light at dusk, the way the Pacific mist softens everything it touches. It's where I found my artistic voice, and it shapes every image I create.
From the editorial sets of Guess to intimate beachside weddings, I bring a blend of bold fashion sensibility and genuine emotional connection to every shoot.

My Philosophy
"Photography is not about perfection—it's about truth. The authentic smile, the unexpected tear, the stolen glance. These are the moments that matter."
Why Santa Barbara?
There's a reason they call it the American Riviera. The light here is unlike anywhere else—soft golden hour that seems to last forever, dramatic coastal cliffs, and a laid-back energy that puts everyone at ease.
Whether we're shooting at a vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley, a beachfront wedding at Butterfly Beach, or an editorial on the downtown streets with their Spanish architecture—this place becomes part of the story. And I get to call it home.
