Wonderful private couples photoshoot
For our holiday in Cape Town, I gifted my boyfriend a couples photoshoot with Ruwan at Signal Hill to capture some memories from this trip. We had a wonderful experience. Ruwan was really communicative and flexible and met us on time at a location that was easy to find, even for non-locals. We had booked a shooting around the time of sunset and that was a great choice, because the light was beautiful. Also, Ruwan knew the perfect places and angles to capture the nicest sunset views over Cape Town. Since we do not have much experience with couples photoshootings, he guided us through the process very nicely. He suggested poses so that we knew what to do and didn't stand awkwardly, but he also let us do our thing and kept it natural to avoid the pictures feeling too "acted". We felt very comfortable throughout. We got the photos just few days after, both in high-quality format and in lower-quality/compressed files for social media etc. The whole experience was great and definitely worth the price!

The best!!
Ruwan was absolutely amazing! Working with him was so easy and genuinely one of the best photography experiences we’ve ever had. If you’re shy or not completely comfortable in front of the camera, he guides you every step of the way and somehow makes you look and feel amazing in every shot. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he is incredible at giving direction. He comes in with a vision, knows exactly how to bring it to life, and follows through beautifully. You can truly feel how passionate he is about what he does. I honestly wish he lived in Miami because I would hire him over and over again to capture all of our family’s special moments and memories. Such a talented photographer and an absolute pleasure to work with. Couldn’t recommend Ruwan enough: 10,000%!!! ❤️📸

Beautiful Photos & Such a Comfortable Experience
I had such a wonderful experience with Ruwan! He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so easy to get along with, which made the whole session feel comfortable and relaxed.
What I really appreciated was how helpful and patient he was throughout the shoot. If you weren’t sure how to pose or what to do, he would guide you and show you exactly how to pose, which made everything feel so natural and effortless.
And the photos came out absolutely beautiful! I’m so happy with the results and would definitely recommend Ruwan to anyone looking for a talented photographer who makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
10/10 would recommend! 📸✨

Book the shoot! You won’t regret it!!!!
We were visiting Cape Town for our 10 year wedding anniversary and I wanted to do a photo shoot. I am SO happy I found Ruwan on TripAdvisor!! He was amazing! From the first time I reached out to him with questions, to the day of the shoot, he was so helpful and responsive! The location is absolutely gorgeous and Ruwan made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you are looking for great photos, I highly recommend booking this shoot!!
