Bali Vacation Photographer & Documentary Wedding Photography

After spending time apart in a long-distance relationship between Indonesia and Australia, Ria and King finally celebrated their wedding surrounded by the people closest to them at Phalosa Villa Bali. A day before their wedding, the couple took us on a relaxed photo tour around Nusa Dua and Melasti Beach. We started the session in Nusa Dua with Ria and King wearing their wedding attire, capturing intimate portraits and natural moments as they enjoyed their time together. As the afternoon moved toward sunset, they changed into casual outfits and continued the session at Melasti Beach. With the warm evening light, ocean views, and a more relaxed atmosphere, the sunset session brought out a different, more playful side of their relationship. The following day at Phalosa Villa was intimate and full of genuine emotions. With family and close friends gathered around them, there were plenty of quiet, candid moments from laughter and happy tears to warm embraces and heartfelt moments shared be...

For Sherlina and Albert, this trip to Bali was more than just a pre-wedding session, it was a week of love, laughter, and quiet adventures that will stay in their hearts forever. Coming all the way from Jambi, they turned their pre-wedding journey into a full Bali experience, exploring hidden gems, tasting local flavors, and soaking in the island’s gentle rhythm. At sunrise, we wandered through the Savana Tianyar, where the golden light unveiled the majestic Mount Agung in all its glory. Later, a hidden rice field revealed its calm beauty, fresh, green, and soothing to the eyes. The day continued with laughter under the sun, sipping fresh coconuts at Bukit Asah overlooking the white sandy beach below. And as the day drew to a close, we watched the sunset paint the sky above the marigold fields, a quiet, golden ending to a perfect day. Every corner of Karangasem seems to echo Bali’s timeless beauty, from its mountains to the sea, from the first light of dawn to the glow of dusk. For She...

Every photoshoot I do feels special, but Nebeyu and Chudi’s anniversary session in Bali was truly one for the books. As my first clients from Africa, this session felt incredibly meaningful.

Bukan sebuah kebetulan Oka memilih Karangasem sebagai tempat untuk dia dan pasanganya Wahyuni melakukan sesi foto prewedding, Oka memang berasal dari Desa Sengkidu, Karangasem dan pilihan ini sangat menarik. Ternyata banyak tempat-tempat cantik dan unik yang bisa dijadikan latar belakang sesi foto prewedding yang menurut saya sangat jarang diketahui banyak orang, Karangasem ternyata memiliki banyak hidden gems locations. Sehari sebelumnya saat pagi mereka melakukan sesi foto prewedding dengan busana adat Bali di Desa Tenganan Pegringsingan, desa wisata yang sangat unik dan kental dengan budayanya. Sorenya kami melakukan sesi casual di dermaga Tanah Ampo dan sekitarnya hingga matahari terbenam. Besoknya kami menjelajah Candidasa dan Pantai Sengkidu yang ternyata tak disangka-sangka sangat cantik, berpasir putih dan lebih sepi dari pantai-pantai lain yang ada di Bali. Karangasem memang surga yang tersembunyi yang dimiliki Pulau Bali.

Capturing love through the lens of a camera is a beautiful art, and on this occasion, I had the privilege of doing just that for Daniel and Silvana a charming couple hailing all the way from Austria. This was my second time photographing a couple from Austria, and it was a delight to capture their love story amidst the picturesque landscapes of Bali. Daniel had a special surprise in store for his beloved Silvana, as it happened to be her birthday that day. He chose to commemorate the occasion with a photography session that would capture their love and the natural beauty of Bali as the backdrop. Following Daniel's request, we embarked on our photography adventure in the late afternoon. Our first stop was the lush and vibrant rice fields of Canggu. The emerald green expanse of the fields provided a tranquil setting that perfectly complemented the couple's love for one another.

Dalam kisah cinta, terkadang momen paling sederhana adalah yang paling berkesan. Inilah yang terjadi dalam sesi foto lamaran Mario dan Hanny di Aperitif Restaurant di Ubud, Bali. Sebuah tempat makan yang terkenal dengan arsitektur interior dan pemandangan alamnya yang istimewa, serta tentu saja menu kuliner yang lezat. Pasangan ini memilih untuk merayakan cinta mereka dengan cara yang intim dan penuh makna. Mereka adalah pasangan yang tidak terlalu suka difoto berdua, apa lagi jika disuruh romantis, mereka merasa canggung dan tidak nyaman di depan kamera, mereka mengakuinya dari awal. Tantangan yang sangat menarik untuk saya. Jadi, ketika mereka memutuskan untuk melakukan sesi foto perayaan lamaran makan siang ini, mereka tahu mereka harus menjaga momen ini seistimewa mungkin. Ini bukanlah sesi foto lamaran yang penuh kejutan, sebenarnya Hanny sudah tahu rencana sesi foto "lamaran" ini jauh hari sebelumnya, bahkan dia ikut merencanakanya. Pada hari itu, cuaca di Ubud begitu c...

Bali is one of the most popular destinations for holiday, honeymoon, babymoon, pre-wedding photoshoots, and for good reason. The island is renowned for its breathtaking scenery, from lush jungles, beautiful waterfalls and rice fields to pristine beaches and iconic temples. However, before you start planning your photoshoot in Bali, it's important to understand the entrance fees/the permit fee for professional photoshoots. Most tourist attractions in Bali charge an entrance fee, which can range from a small nominal fee to a significant amount, depending on the location and the length of the photoshoot. Some locations especially hotel require photographers to obtain a permit before they can start shooting. It's always best to research the locations you want to visit ahead of time and understand what fees are involved, so you can plan accordingly.

The results that were worth the whole efforts, from waking up by the dawn headed all the way to Ulundanu Temple, to find the misty dreamy morning for a majestic couple shoot/post-wedding photo session. This fabulous temple has been renowned for ages over the breathtaking view surrounded by Beratan Lake on the east side. The cold was biting whilst I waited for Shrawani and Aritra at the temple's parking lot. We agreed to meet up here to have an unforgettable couple photoshoot at this internationally recognized fabulous temple.  This couple from Mumbai, India had been dreaming to have a couple photo session at this beautiful temple. Even though they had to pay IDR 1Mio for the photo session permit and one hundred fifty thousand to rent a boat, with no time limit, at this holy place, it was all worth it. It was actually an almost perfect post-wedding photoshoot, the mist didn't last very long as the soft sunrise came up, we captured fabulous moments. This couple loved with the res...

Pasangan yang awalnya beda pulau dan beda keyakinan ini akhirnya menyatukan ikatan asmara mereka di Pulau Dewata, berjanji untuk hidup semati bersama. Upacara pernikahan (pawiwahan) secara adat Bali mereka telah dilangsungkan dikediaman mempelai pria di Desa Gegelang, Karangasem.
