Anita Mlinac and Vinod Rhagavan’s Catholic Wedding Ceremony in Katedral Roh Kudus Catholic Church and Wedding Celebration at Villa Ylang Ylang, Bali

This January we felt truly honored to capture the wedding of Anita Mlinac and Vinod Rhagavan’s wedding at the Katedral Roh Kudus Catholic Church in downtown Denpasar.

The magnificent interior of the church humbled not only us, but the wedding attendees and the bride and groom as well. It was a perfect place for the holy matrimony.

After that, we drive to Villa YlangYlang in Sanur to capture their wedding celebration. Although the celebration was not as solemn and quiet as the ceremony (read: merry and fun!), they share the same important essences: love and joy. Wish you all the best, Anita and Vinod! –Ary–

Kelly Chan and Tyran Kam’s Wedding at Tirtha Uluwatu and Wedding Dinner at The Ritz-Carlton Bali Resort

This January, Kelly Chan and Tyran Kam held their wedding at the prestigious Tirtha Uluwatu.

The white gown and white chapel interior really reflects the solemn and holy atmosphere of the event, and also brings out the best from the beautiful bride.

After the wedding and cake cutting (a unique cake indeed, if we may say so!), the whole party went to The Ritz-Carlton Resort Bali to have the wedding dinner at Chandra Surya. Wish you all the best, Kelly and Tyran!

Christina Tung and John Wu’s Wedding at Conrad and Wedding Celebration at The Legian, Bali

We know what you think, but the photo below is certainly not a scene from “The Godfather”

The photo was taken at John Wu and Christina Tung’s wedding in Conrad, when the groom and his bestmen are getting ready for the wedding games just before the tea ceremony.

Their wedding ceremony at The Infinity Chapel was held afterwards. If you look closely to their photo below, the bride and groom (not to mention their wedding guests!) truly enjoy the special day.

Their wedding celebration was held in The Beach House at The Legian.

The beautiful site, not to mention the cute yellow ducky in their wedding decoration, ensures more fun and merriness on their wedding celebration.

John closed the event by singing a special song for his beautiful wife. See their wedding photo clip here. Such a beautiful and wonderful night for John and Christina. Congratulations! –Ary–

Ryoko and Andrew Norden’s Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Celebration at Ayana Villa, The Ritz-Carlton Bali

The Ayana, which means “a place of refuge” in Sanskrit, was the chosen wedding venue for Ryoko and Andrew Norden. Their wedding was held at the Ayana Gazebo, accompanied only by selected wedding guests.

You can see traces of Andrew’s origin from the little details in the bouquet and his little baby’s outfit. Okay, Andrew’s outfit was also a major hint .

After that the happy family went for a horse carriage ride and back to Ayana Villa again to have their wedding dinner with the guests.

Although half of the guests were Japanese, language was not an issue as they lift their glasses together and wish happiness for the newly wed. Cheers, Ryoko and Andrew! –Ary–

Maria and Marc’s Wedding at Bulgari Hotels and Resorts, Bali

Since its opening, Bulgari Hotels and Resorts Bali has been a great choice for wedding venue and celebration, and this December we have the honour to capture Maria and Marc Potter’s intimate wedding there.

The wedding itself was held at Bale in Bulgari. Their choice to have only 8 wedding attendees ensures a private and solemn wedding. As you can see from the joy in their face, it’s surely one of those weddings that will last.

The wedding cocktail was held after that, at the pool cliff, and the whole event was closed with a wedding dinner at the pool side. A memorable event indeed. Congratulations, Maria and Marc. –Ary–

Stacey Sarfatti and Rustin Paul’s Wedding at St. Regis Bali Resort

“Just the two of us/ we can make it if we try..” by Bill Withers

The wedding of Stacey Sarfatti and Rustin Paul was held privately on the beach of St.Regis Bali Resort in Nusa Dua.

The white sand, the blue sea and the warm sun makes this spot a perfect nature-made wedding venue for their intimate wedding.

Before their sunset dinner, the joyous couple takes a post-wedding photo tour in St. Regis area. The combination of beautiful sites and the happiness on their face create some really special photos.

Later on, Stacey wrote to us how happy they are with the results (read her full testimonial here). Thanks for the compliment, Stacey and Rustin. The pleasure was ours as well! –Ary–

Carol Chen and Andreas Ruslim’s Wedding at Tirtha Uluwatu and Wedding Celebration at Villa Gending Kedis, Bali

After their wedding in Tirtha Uluwatu, Carol Chen and Andreas Ruslim held their wedding dinner at Villa Gending Kedis in Jimbaran.

The pool of this fabulous villa was lavishly spread with flowers to congratulate the happy couple. Their dinner party there was accompanied by light jazz music, creating a cozy and pleasant atmosphere.

The great mood was really evident, just check out the smile on Carol and Andy’s face during the confetti toast. All in all, Carol and Andy’s wedding was simply remarkable. Congratulations for both of you! –Ary–

Lily and Albert’s Prewedding Photo at The Bale, Bali

Although Lily was sick a few days before the photo shoot, she insisted on going to Bali to do the photo shoot. And we sure glad she did! Lily and Albert was a perfect picture of what we called “The best of two worlds”. She was chatty, he was calm; she was very outgoing, he was cool. Albert is an IT guy but people constantly (and mistakenly) took him as an artist. That is (perhaps) why their photos look so artistic . Their photo tour starts in the morning at The Bale, a beautiful resort in Nusa Dua, and ends at beautiful sunset in Canggu Beach.in She really enjoys our work and has already put her photos in Facebook the day after the photo shoot! Thank you very much, Lily and Albert. It sure is nice to be appreciated! Hope to see you both again in Bali!
-Windee, Ary-

Edith and Zico’s Prewedding Photo Tour

Last November we had the pleasure in taking pre-wedding photo shoot of Edith and Zico. Edith Wong was a finalist for Miss Hong Kong, and also a renowned celebrity and TV presenter in Hong Kong. Yet in spite all of the prestigious title, what really astonish me is their positive attitude. To us, this couple is a guru in positive thinking, and you can almost see halos above their head. We’ve got the proof during our photo session with them. It rained before (and still drizzle during) photo shoot in the rice field, yet Edith and Zico went in the mud cheerfully. Their comment: “The mud feels nice.” Talking about positive thinking.

We were planning to make this photo the last shot of the day. We never imagine the wave got so high it got our three cameras! Needless to say, this is our last shot afterall . One of the cameras needed to be repaired right away, but it is a fair price for such great photos of this wonderful couple. Edith and Zico, thank you for your wonderful and take-it-easy attitude in every situation, thus letting us get great shots of you guys. It sure was fun! -Windee, Ary-

Rosa Tifanda and Frederick Corten’s Engagement Photo Session at Nikko Hotel, Bali

What is often called as “the ship of the desert”, have hump(s), and is a fun and unique addition for an engagement-portrait photo shoot? If you guess camel, you’re absolutely correct! Rosa Tifanda and Frederick Corten’s engagement portrait photo session was started at the beautiful beach of Nikko Bali, and followed with their camel-riding session. The camels didn’t give Rosa and Frederick the stranded-in-the-desert look, but the fun and funky couple sure look totally in love.

That goes the same with a ricefield session (as pictured above), and also the finale at Canggu Beach. It is a real treat to see love conquers the day. See their photo clip here. Congratulations, Rosa and Fred! -Ary-

Kristin Lee and Dean Fergus’ Wedding at Tresna Pavilion and Wedding Celebration at OMG Villa, Bali

Dean Fergus is a bodyboarder, DJ, and also runs SecretSumatra, an exclusive surf camp in Sumatra. Although some would say he already got it all, this bachelor have just recently completed his achievements when he wed beautiful Kristin Lee in a wedding ceremony at Tresna Pavilion in the prestigious The Ritz-Carlton Bali.

Kristin is a journalist in South Korea, and that explains her keen eyes for details. Needless to say, their wedding was unforgettable.

After the wedding, the happy couple and the wedding guests head out to OMG Villa in Nusa Dua area. This beautiful villa with its breathtaking view of the ocean becomes a perfect place to conclude such wonderful event. Wish you all the best, Kristin and Dean! -Ary-

Yuliana and Willy’s Photo Tour in Mercure Sanur, Bali

“Sunshine through my window/ that’s what you are..” (by Gabrielle)

Some say that love is warm and bright, just like sunshine. After seeing Yuliana and Willy’s pre-wedding picture, I can’t help but completely agree with it.

The sun really shines through and blessed the couple with its warm ray at their photo shoot in Mercure Sanur. After that, they also had photo shoot at Uluwatu beach and Canggu beach, and we are so happy to say that their smile never falters.

That’s what we called the spirit of love! Best wishes for both of you, Yulianna and Willy. –Ary–

Louise and Brad’s Wedding in Bali Mandira Beach Resort and Spa

Smile, joy and laughter are everywhere on Louise and Brad’s wedding in Bali Mandira Beach Resort and Spa, creating the necessary ingredients for a wonderful wedding. And the result, we manage to capture some really good pictures. Thank you Louise and Brad, capturing your wedding was such a pleasure! -Ary-

Laura Parks and Richard Morgan’s Wedding in Alila Ubud

Laura Parks and Richard Morgan’s wedding in Alila Ubud really shows that you don’t need many attendees to have a beautiful wedding. Their simple wedding emphasizes the feelings that they have for each other. Congratulations Laura and Richard! -Ary-

Anoushka Wilson and Angus Vincent’s Wedding at Khayangan Estate, Bali

Anoushka and Angus’s wedding in Khayangan Estate was one of our most memorable. The spacious and beautiful Khayangan Estate in Uluwatu creates the perfect atmosphere for their wedding, enabling us to get wonderful pictures. Wishing you all the best, Anoushka and Angus! -Ary-

Yvonne and Steven’s Wedding in Astina Chapel and Wedding Celebration in Asmara Gazebo, at The Ritz-Carlton Bali

Just before their wedding ceremony, Yvonne and Steven manage to steal some time to do their pre-wedding photo shoot in The Ritz-Carlton area.

The wedding itself was held in Astina Chapel, at The Ritz- Carlton Bali. The glass-decorated chapel creates a wonderful and bright atmosphere for the wedding. You can really see the joy on Yvonne and Steven’s face as they smiled towards the camera.

Their wedding cocktail was held in the surrounding of Astina Chapel, accompanied with the sounds of the wave and refreshing sea breeze. As you can see on the balloon-releasing picture, the effect was quite wonderful .

The wedding was closed by a wedding dinner at Asmara Gazebo. Such a wonderful event indeed. Wish you both all the best, Yvonne and Steven! -Ary-

Gillian Walker and Steve Lowrie’s Wedding at Villa Pemutih, Bali

Beautiful Gillian was simply radiant in her wedding day with Steve in Villa Pemutih, Jimbaran. With beautiful scenery around them and happy faces of their friends and families, no wonder their pictures were absolutely beautiful! Thank you Gillian and Steve, it’s a pleasure to capture your beautiful wedding . -Ary-

Peggy Tseung and Vineet Seth’s Wedding in Bale Kencana and Wedding Dinner in Chandra Surya, at The Ritz-Carlton Bali

Peggy Tseung and Vineet Seth’s wedding was held at the beautiful Bale Kencana in The Ritz-Carlton Bali. This private and enclosed wedding venue provides both privacy and a sense of togetherness with their wedding attendees, while still providing plenty of sun to illuminate the happy couple and with magnificent ocean backdrop as well.

After the wedding, Peggy and Vineet do a post-wedding photo tour around The Ritz – Carlton, and at dusk held their wedding dinner in Chandra Surya. Needless to say, after the dinner everyone were simply eager to “get on the dance floor” ! Wish you both all the best, Peggy and Vineet! -Ary-

Jody Wild and Khan Kolkka’s Wedding at Padma Hotel, Bali

The beautiful Padma Bali and its surroundings served as a wonderful setting for Jody Wild and Khan Kolkka’s wedding. Although she looked so pretty in her wedding gown, Jody got so nervous just before the wedding starts. Nevertheless, she managed to pull herself and looking absolutely herself as she walked down the aisle. The photo shoot with their bridesmaids and best men was a fun one and the delightful dinner that followed was a perfect finale for their wedding day. Congratulations Jody and Khan! -Ary-

Sarah Parker and Jarrod Brumby’s Wedding at Niksoma Boutique Resort, Bali

A doctor on your guest list will always come handy for any occasion. Better safe than sorry. And speaking of which, that makes Sarah and Jarrod’s wedding one of the safest wedding ever, since not one, but 20 doctors were there including the bride and groom themselves. Talking about safe precautions ! Nevertheless, despite all the white décor there was no usual strict and sterile atmosphere that you usually get from the hospital or doctors. In fact, the wedding and the dinner that follow was so wonderful that we were able to capture great pictures. Jarrod was positively beaming next to the bride, and we can understand why. Just like all doctors, we believe Sarah will look like an angel in her white coat, but on her wedding she looks absolutely angelic in her white gown. Sorry Dr. Ross (“ER”) and move over Dr. Grey (“Grey’s Anatomy”) because this is the kind of doctors that we prefer. Congratulations Sarah and Jarrod! –Ary–

Kelly and Richard’s Wedding in Mercure Kuta, Bali

Two people in love are always worth capturing in pictures. That is why it is such a pleasure for us to capture Kelly and Richard’s wedding in Mercure Kuta. Their joyful smile and full of love is the best ingredients for wonderful pictures. Congratulations Kelly and Richard! -Ary-

Lena and Denis’ Post-Wedding Photo Tour, Bali

As a little child I always wonder, what happened after the prince and princess manage to get away from evil Baba Yaga? Surely they’ll live happily ever after, but alas, the picture in the story book always incomplete and makes me wonder, “What happen next?” Now I know. Seeing Lena and Denis’s post wedding photos is like finding the last page(s) of the book and transport me back to the childhood memories of ‘happily ever after’. Yet this young Russian couple is more than just a page in the book, they are lively real and delightfully friendly. Newly married Lena and Denis came all the way from historical St. Petersburg and was on their honeymoon in Bali. Their warm personality creates a wonderful atmosphere for the post-wedding photo session, where we (Lena-Denis and The Photo Factory team) talked together and have fun and create great photos as the result. But the pleasure does not end there. The dinner with Windee, Diana and Stella that follow was a fine dinner, in which pleasant conversation was exchanged, from daily stories to the movie Anastasia and Once Upon a Time in America. The Russian is known to have a rich culture, and after meeting Lena and Denis, I guess it is safe to say that Russian also have a rich personality, one that we will not forget for a very long time. Congratulations on your wedding, Lena and Denis. For us, Russia will always have the same ring as warmth from now on!
PS: An ultimate tip from Lena to all Russians: Do not open a Solarium in Bali! –Ary –

Kitty and Joseph’s Wedding in Tresna Chapel and Wedding Celebration in Sami Sami Restaurant, at The Ritz-Carlton Bali

Kitty Ng and Joseph Lau’s wedding date is a remarkably well-chosen one. Kitty Ng and Joseph Lau held their wedding ceremony on 08-08-08 in the much adored Tresna Chapel of The Ritz-Carlton Bali, after their pre-wedding photo tour two days before. Not only 8 is a lucky number in Chinese tradition, it also symbolize an endless cycle. The happy couple then held their wedding reception in Sami Sami Restaurant, which overlook the Indian ocean and also a glimpse of Tresna Chapel. Congratulations, Kitty and Joseph!

Celine Lefebvre and Matt Wrigley’s Wedding at Villa Atas Ombak, Bali

Congratulations Jane and Paul! -Ary-

Pre-Wedding Photo Tour Sedonia and Eimund

The thing that we love most when taking pre-wedding and wedding pictures are the couple. Some were cool, some were pleasant, and some, like Sedonia and Eimund, were just awesome. Sedonia – a senior designer in Hong Kong –, and Eimund – whose hobby is underwater photography – are funny, spontaneous, and absolutely friendly. The photo shoot was a pleasure for The Photo Factory team, and we are proud to say that the photo result shows them exactly who they are: fun, friendly, and totally in love. Good photographers can make great pictures, but it takes great couple to make outstanding results. View their photo clip here. Sedonia and Eimund, you are simply wonderful –Ary–

Margaret and Euan’s Scotland Wedding at Wantilan 11, Bali Golf and Country Club Nusa Dua

We don’t have many opportunities to capture Scotland wedding, and that’s why we are so enthusiast to be the wedding photographer of Margaret and Euan at Bali Golf and Country Club, Nusa Dua. The traditional outfit complete with a bagpipe player makes us felt like we’re not in Bali anymore. Simply magnificent. Wishing you both all the best, Margaret and Euan! -Ary-

Vicki Grafton and Phong Nguyen’s Wedding at The Istana Villa in Uluwatu, Bali

Beautiful landscape plus charming and fun-loving guests clad in white create a wonderful atmosphere for Vicki and Phong’s wedding.

Their 150 friends and families come all the way to Bali just to attend their remarkable wedding, with breathtaking Indian Ocean as the backdrop.

Jen and Beau’s Wedding in Four Seasons Sayan, Ubud – Bali

The happiness of Jen and Beau, as well as their guests, adds a wonderful touch to their wedding. And as you can see from their pictures and videos, it sure was fun! Watch their video here. -Ary-

Shirley Lee and Kyu Ho’s Wedding in Amankila Resorts, Bali

Something old, something new; Something borrowed, something blue.

We’re not sure about old, new, or borrowed, but Shirley and Kyu’s blue and white-themed beachfront wedding at Amankila Resort in Karangasem was simply awesome. Even Kyu support some blue in the usually all-red traditional Chinese outfit for the Tea Ceremony. The wedding ceremony comes after that, and their wedding day was closed with a grand celebration complete with fireworks and funky dance. Apart from that, both Shirley and Kyu are one of the most wonderful people we’ve ever met, which making it such a pleasure for us to capture their wedding!

Meg Roberts and Shane Kent’s Garden Wedding at The Legian, Bali

Imagining descending the stairs gracefully, to take your wedding vow on neatly manicured green lawn around you and the sea in front of you. Dreamy, isn’t it? That’s also what we feel when capturing Meg and Shane’s garden wedding in The Legian. As the flower girls and the bride descending from The Stairs of Heaven (properly nicknamed by The Legian), the magical moment starts and continued all the way to during their wedding ceremony and even their wedding celebration. Simply superb! -Ary-

Marilyn & Jason’s Unforgettable Wedding at Conrad Bali

May 30 2008 became an unforgettable day not only for Marilyn and Jason, but also for us as well. Of course, you might think it’s perfectly normal for them, since it is their wedding day. But for us, Marilyn and Jason’s wedding at the Infinity Chapel in Conrad was also very special and exceptionally awesome.
Since the preparation (makeup session by our makeup artist) and throughout the event both Marilyn and Jason showed their complete trust in our team’s work. And they thoroughly enjoyed each other’s presence and were so visibly happy that it created such a wonderful atmosphere during the event. It also affected the wedding attendances, since everyone was looking joyful all the way throughout their wedding dinner at The Ocean Garden. It is no wonder that the photos and video were exactly like their wedding, which is absolutely awesome! Watch their video and read their testimonial here. -Ary-

We can’t stop smiling with glee and happiness when capturing Mandy and Wans’s wedding in Conrad. It’s pretty hard not to, since love and joy are definitely in the air! The wedding started in Conrad’s famous chapel, The Infinity. The bridesmaids are so pretty with their fuchsia gowns, and their flower girl and boys (yes, the ones with white tux and blue cummerbund!) are simply adorable.

Grace and Willy’s Wedding at Villa Ombak Luwung, Bali

To be a bride, saved by a handsome prince, and to ‘live happily ever-after’ are three of every girls dearest dream. That’s why we’re quite green with envy after seeing Grace-Willy’s wedding pictures. Not only that Willy dressed up neatly and has to pass several difficult tests to finally force himself in to her room (yes, you read that right!) before he can take the hand of fair Grace for their Tea Ceremony; Grace also become the pretty bride in White at the end of the day. That’s two dreams already, ladies and gentlemen! As Grace waited anxiously in her tower (read: room in the villa), her prince in shining armor (or awesome traditional Chinese costume) a.k.a Willy is getting ready for his quest (read: tasks made by faithful yet mischievous friends). Luckily Willy has the knights (read: his loyal friends) to help him on his quest. After a series of gruesome tasks that include getting and eating wasabi balls from a bowl of flour and new-style swimming act Willy was finally able to claim Grace’s hand. The Tea Ceremony that followed has a strong yet fun atmosphere, in which Willy and Grace showed their respect to their parents, elder, and also their traditional roots. The red decoration which strongly accentuate the games and tea ceremony was nothing less than beautiful and it radiates strength and confidence all round. Yet the frail and innocent white that becomes the color theme for the Wedding ceremony was simply remarkable as well. And as Grace gracefully walk down the aisle, and stand besides the beaming Willy in front of the altar, we put our envy aside and solemnly pray that they will have the last dream come true, to “live happily ever after”. Congratulations Grace and Willy! -Ary-

Joyce and Horace’s Wedding at Conrad Bali

“Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be…”

Just like a part of their wedding quote, their wedding gets better and better as the time goes. Joyce and Horace’s big day in Conrad started with games, in which the grooms and his friends had to face many challenges including some hard-core break-dance movement. The tea ceremony was up next, followed by their wedding which was really solemn and beautiful, accompanied by Conrad’s acapella choir. And their smile never falters.

Freedom Garvey is a professional photographer and had her own surfing photos exhibition; Damien (Taco) Warr is a professional surfer that won Best Overall Performance award in the Oakley/ASL Big Wave awards 2006.

The Prana Villa and Spa with its Indian-Moroccan design is a perfect place for a dream-like wedding. Freedom’s unique light-green gown (now that’s a first for us!) and her matching headscarf solidified the impression that we’ve managed to land ourselves in the land of moguls and princesses.
On the contrary, both Freedom and Damien are very friendly and tremendously easy to work with. Romantic atmosphere was everywhere, but the fun and lively atmosphere was also there, helped by Freedom and Damien’s many friends and family.

Neha and Neel’s 3 days Indian Wedding at Conrad, Bali

One wedding day should be wonderful enough to last for a lifetime. But what about two days wedding, or even –like the storybook – the one that last seven days and seven nights? Neha and Neel’s Indian wedding at Conrad is only three days long (okay, it’s amazingly three days long!) and is a wonderful mixture between the traditional ceremonies at daytime and pure enjoyment at night time. The fun and uniqueness of their wedding was also emphasized by the many friends and family members that joined them in their wedding. From youngsters to seniors, this is one wedding that will surely satisfied a demography officer . Of course the best part of Neha and Neel’s many wedding attendances is that they continue to smile happily and having a good time throughout the celebration. Neha and Neel themselves, despite being the spotlight of the day (correction: of the days), continue to remain relax and easy going. Their pictures beautifully show the closeness between their family, and also the closeness between them. As their third and last wedding day coming close to an end, The Photo Factory team couldn’t help to sigh in awe. Because that is what wedding is all about, bonding together not only two people in love, but also two families as one. Neha and Neel’s wedding was a wonderful one, and we truly agree that three times the celebration means three times the fun. Congratulations Neha and Neel! -Ary-

Ijab Kabul at Ma Joly/The Sandi Phala, Kuta

Desma and Jeremy had their baby blue themed wedding at the fine Ma Joly restaurant/The Sandi Phala Hotel (recently known as Kupu Kupu Barong Beach Resort).

Jennifer and Lee’s Wedding in The Angkasa Villa, Jimbaran Bali

The Angkasa in Jimbaran was the chosen venue for Jennifer and Lee’s wedding. Judging from the greeneries all around the villa, you’ll find it hard to believe that it is located in one of Bali’s driest area, The Bukit. Of course, the breathtaking view and height that give the villa it’s name (Angkasa is Indonesian word for sky) was amazing as well. Those facts and the cool attitude of Jennifer and Lee makes their wedding one of our unforgettable wedding photo shoots. Congratulations, Jennifer and Lee! -Ary-

Wedding at The Four Seasons’ Coconut Groove, Jimbaran

I think all people from Hong Kong are swimmer, and that they all love water very much. Every time I have a couple from Hong Kong, like this time Joyce and Kevin, they throw themselves (well, Joyce and Kevin were thrown) into the pool after dinner.

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

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

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

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…
