Snapshot of Ra Family | Chasing the Sunset on Seminyak Beach

Say, Annyonghaseyo (안녕하세요) to the Ra Family, a fun small family from South Korea. During their vacation in Bali, they made time to do snapshot photo session. Gyubi, the little one was adorable, she was very cooperative during the snapshot and she couldn't stop laughing when they teased her.

The Ra Family was staying at The Trans Resort Hotel, and after a photo session in the hotel area, we continued it on Seminyak Beach to chase the sunset. Just like many other children who never stepped their feet in the sand before, Gyubi seemed ticklish and didn't like the feel of it, it was too cute, for the first time ever touching the sand.  

How lucky we were, that afternoon sunset looked beautiful and perfect. We were a little worried that we may not have good sunset because it rained in Denpasar the day before. The photoshoot went great and they loved the results. Till we meet again Ra Family! 

While posting this blog, I still had one wish to travel to Korea someday!

Couple Session in Ubud | Jillian + Shai

After being together for eight years, finally they decided to get married, was quite some time of relationship wasn't it? Four days after their wedding in  Kuala Lumpur, Jillian and Shai flew to Bali for the honeymoon and having a romantic post wedding photo session. They brought the dress they wore on their wedding day. Perfect! 

That afternoon photo session was  done at a villa in Ubud, surrounded by the rice fields and local village houses. We didn't go too far to get  a good landscape and charming ornaments as photo backgrounds, we only had to do a little walk down the villa area and village roads. They all looked so authentically stunning and just perfect! Lucky me.

A Traditional Balinese Wedding | Merti + Sanjaya

Sanjaya and Merti had the traditional Balinese wedding in Nusa Penida Island, the homeland of the groom. Five days prior, the groom's family came to the bride's home in Antiga - Karangasem to propose Sanjaya's soulmate. This proposal moment was also for the engagement.

For two days my team and I covered Sanjaya and Merti' s traditional Balinese wedding ceremony in Nusa Penida. Day one, they had the traditional ceremony ritual which was called Mejaya-jaya or some people called it Mawidi-widana, led by a Peranda (Bali Hindu Priest). This ritual took almost all day with all the Balinese ornaments like janur (young coconut leaf decoration), penjor (curved bamboo decoration) and banten (offerings) that were seen in every corner of the house.  These little things make the house looked so merry!  

The day after, they held the reception. The bride and groom wore the authentic Balinese traditional outfit, they looked graceful and glow with such charisma. 

A new beginning had begun, may they shall live together happily ever after!

Abourjaily Family Holiday Photoshoot in Alila Seminyak

Not for long now, the Abourjaily would welcome the newest fifth member in the family, Julie and Roger were expecting their third child! Wishing everything to go well, easy birth, that they would have a healthy baby and mommy. 

During their vacation in Bali they made some time to do a family photo shoot at the place they were staying, Alila Seminyak. 

That afternoon photoshoot was so much fun, that I thought this may be the short holiday photoshoot that resulted the most shots in my entire photographer career. Both of their children were so interactive, love working with them. I prefer taking pictures naturally, in candid letting them play and enjoying the atmosphere, this gives me freedom and will result honest photos. I always try to minimize 'pose like this, pose like that' directions. I take shots of every chance to capture the best moments. 

Great thing, Julie and family loved my photo shots, I'm very glad and happy. 

Alright, next, who will entrust their family holiday documentation to me? I will be delighted to be your personal holiday photographer!
