photofactorybali.com — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 07:22:49 +0000

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–

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–

photofactorybali.com — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 03:39:07 +0000

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–

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.

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

photofactorybali.com — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:25:43 +0000

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!

Edith and Zico’s Prewedding Photo Tour

photofactorybali.com — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 00:55:36 +0000

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

photofactorybali.com — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:00:33 +0000

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-

“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.

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

photofactorybali.com — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 02:19:11 +0000

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–

Lena and Denis’ Post-Wedding Photo Tour, Bali

photofactorybali.com — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 09:14:39 +0000

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 –

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

photofactorybali.com — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 02:57:43 +0000

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-

“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.

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. We expect their wedding to be a cool one, and nothing less than unique. Yet Freedom and Damien’s wedding truly re-define the word exotic. 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. Her complete satisfaction for us (click here to see her testimonial) can only be out match by our pleasure on taking their wedding pictures. One word for their wedding: Awesome!

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?

From youngsters to seniors, this is one wedding that will surely satisfied a demography officer .

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-

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.

That’s a nice place to choose, because that restaurant is placed by the pool. Yes, they jumped into the pool.
