Sudianto + Suryani's Wedding | Hongkong Garden Restaurant Bali

There are many new things I learn as I often taking pictures of a wedding especially the traditional wedding processions, such as Balinese tradition, Javanese tradition and Chinese tradition like what Sudianto and Suryani had for example. Although there was a modern touch, the culture of their ancestor was still being carried. From the moment of fetching the bride whereas the groom would be getting some pranks, to the tea ceremony (tea pai), it was more like getting to know each other's families better. Many attributes or symbolic processions that if you try to discover they have special meaning to them, and that's all very interesting to be captured. Sudianto lived in Bali and Suryani was originally from Bangka, they chose Bali as their place to hold their wedding. Their wedding reception was held at Hongkong Garden Restaurant so they can accommodate their large number of guests. 

Love changes life, makes it more meaningful. Love does not only unite a couple of children of men, but also unites two families. Certainly love is not that small, love is vast and grand, therefore, welcome it from any direction.

Elyssia Pregnancy | Gorgeous Beach Maternity Photoshoot in Bali

Elyssia flew from California to have a babymoon  for more than a week in Bali, refreshing body and mind with Jabba, the beloved husband before their baby girl will born to the world. A baby girl that they'd been expecting for all of these times since all of their siblings' children were all boys!  During this holiday, Elyssia spared some time for a maternity photoshoot at Gunung Payung Beach in that one drizzling morning, she looked so sophisticated. Her pregnancy was on the seventh month, and her baby bump looked perfect, very lovely for the photoshoot. The white dress she was wearing, flared as the ocean breeze blew.
