Let’s Go Local: Lau Tops Wedding Photographer’s List

When Eileen Rose Sankracharya started off her business it was quite an interesting journey for her as a female being a wedding photographer by profession.
Originally from Yavusania Village Nadi with maternal links to Kabara in Lau, Ms Sankracharya started off her business during the pandemic with the little that she had.
Her dreams of becoming a doctor was a field of interest she wanted to pursue, but plans changed which she worked hard to achieve the qualified marks.
All her dreams finally settled down when her mother convinced her to take a gap year and try to turn her hobby of photography into a business.
That’s where she established her business by the name Peachylini.
Ms Sankracharya said she registered her business, filed for taxes and learnt a very different side of the business world compared to her years of being a pure science student.
She encouraged young people to pursue their dreams and vision which cannot be replaced to make use of their God given talent.
