a Valentine Wedding at Wiwaha Wedding Chapel, Nikko Bali

February 14, 2007

I wonder what would happen if a famous Football player fell in love with a beautiful lady? Would there be a wedding? Would the wedding be wonderful?
In fact, that is what actually happened in Bali last Valentine.

Ronald is an Uruguay footballer playing for one of the most popular football club in Indonesia who had fallen in love with Nancy, a beautiful Barbie-like lady, an Indonesian origin.
They pick the most romantic time of year to celebrate their love.
Yup! On Valentine’s Day, they had their wedding in the beautiful Wiwaha Chapel of Nikko Hotel. There are quite many people coming to their serene wedding including The Mayor of the city which Ronald’s team is playing for.
What a joyous time to have a celebration of love….

Wedding at Conrad’s Infinity chapel, Tanjung Benoa

December 2, 2006

Lovely, very friendly couple Natalie & Jeffrey are from Hong Kong. My wife Diana, who did Natalie’s Makeup, said Natalie told her Jeffrey is very tall, but didn’t really realize it until Jeffrey showed up. They had their ceremony mid day at the newly launched Infinity, a private wedding lunch at Conrad’s Spice restaurant, tea ceremony, cocktail by the pool and private dinner at Conrad’s Eight Degrees South, where they also had their after dinner party. That’s a nice place to choose, because that restaurant is placed by the pool. Yes, they jumped into the pool. Natalie, a fan of all kinds of sports including water sports, flipped backwards together with her brother into the pool!


Wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Jimbaran

October 21, 2006

Egnes and Isaiah from Jakarta had a pre-wedding photo shoot two days before their ceremony. They wanted to have a photo with a Chinese look, so we took some pictures outside a Chinese restaurant. After that we went to a Beach in Uluwatu to take some more pictures.

On the wedding day Egnes wore a gorgeus wedding gown with beautiful accessories. The wedding ceremony took place at the Tresna chapel of The Ritz-Carlton, where we took some more pictures of just Egnes & Isaiah on a Photo Tour around the Resort. We had nice sunset photos. For dinner we headed to Ma Joly restaurant, where we were entertained by a fire dance.


Opening of Conrad’s Wedding Chapel - INFINITY

October 19, 2006

Brides!There is another new opened extraordinary wedding chapel for
Bali! Walking between water, elevated 2 meters above the ground, looking towards this huge triangle, it felt a bit surreal, like I wasn’t really on earth. It is just amazing!

More Conrad pictures


Michelle and Frankie’s Pre-Wedding Photo Tour

October 4, 2006

Came all the way from Hong Kong to have their pre wedding photos taken in Bali.  They jumped here and there, were opened for all sort of ideas, and brought tons of ideas themselves.  Michelle is a wedding expert so said Frankie, and I second that :).
A really lovely couple, we love them from the first meeting.

Wedding at Melia Bali, Nusa Dua

Wedding at Tirtha Uluwatu Chapel

August 10, 2006

Jenn and Mike of Canadian origin were based in the Maldives. They went initially for a vacation to Bali, then they decided to build a villa and after that they decided to get married in Bali! They chose one of the most spectacular wedding venue in Bali: Tirtha Uluwatu, which newly expanded with their bigger Tirtha Luhur. One thing I like most about taking wedding photos there is that the colors are pastel soft.


Wedding at the Blue Point chapel, Uluwatu

July 12, 2006

Kristi and Michael had a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Blue Point chapel. Afterwards we escaped to the incredible Padang-Padang beach, just 3 minutes drive from The Blue Point, to take some shots of them and their bridesmaids and groomsmen. When we got back to the Blue Point, about 10 minutes after sunset, we were amazed by the view we had in front of us!

Wedding at the Ayodya Resort Bali (formerly the Bali Hilton International), Nusa Dua

December 20, 2005

This is one of the most interesting couples I photographed. Victoria is a beautiful angel, Daniel is an extremely musculous man with tattoos. Victoria wore a classic wedding gown, Daniel wore an army uniform with lots of patches (I’m not familiar with uniform, but the patches are everywhere).


Wedding at the Istana Villa, Uluwatu

November 19, 2005

This is the kind of wedding where all you see are nice and extraordinary. The wedding took place above the spectacular cliff of Uluwatu. Kazuko, Japanese origin, and Jonathan, Australian origin, exchanged their vows on a specially prepared platform in the middle of the pool. We had one of the most spectacular sunset I’ve ever seen. They had even the traditional Balinese Kecak dance performed by some 30 dancers and one of the groomsmen, too.


Wedding at The Laguna (prev. Sheraton Lagoon), Nusa Dua

July 22, 2005

Lovely couple Andrea & Roland from Austria (German practice for me :)…) got married very privately: Just the two of them, no one else. Okay, the priest was there. And me. And the wedding organizer. And several other people, you’re right. They had a romantic wedding dinner at a traditionally decorated gazebo by the Nusa Dua Beach. Just the two of them. Okay, a singer & an accoustic guitarist were also there. Yes, and also me, sneaking to take their pictures candidly…
