ADIWARNA

Hi, I am Adiwarna Irawan.
I fell in love to photography since when I was in university when it was the film era.
I love photography because I think that photography is like a time machine that can bring us to the moment when the photos were taken and memory that captured on the photos.
I like photography because I can capture important moments in people’s life especially on weddings.
I am happy to see people falling in love, to see the love connection between 2 different persons.
This is what I want to show on the photos I take.
I want to show their romantic moments on their romantic day, and every other moment on their important day.
For me, wedding is one in a life time moment for a person and I am happy to be part of it.
I want to capture every moment happens on that day.
I do it because I fell in love to wedding photography.

Jakarta Wedding | Handy & Arista by Adiwarna Irawan

ADIWARNA, WEDDING

I met Handy & Arista 2 days before their wedding day.
From our conversation, I knew their wedding would be very nice.
Handy & Arista getting ready at the hotel, the moment they first met very touching, I can feel their love.

They looked nervous at the time of blessing. Their tears flowed freely at the time they give a thank you to the parents. I know they are very respectful to their parents.
After the blessing, we have time for outdoor photos with the bridal party, they look so happy.

Dinner was held at one of the restaurants in Jakarta, the atmosphere was relaxed and intimate. I really like the wedding like this

Thank you Handy & Arista, congratulations on your marriage.

Flores Wedding | Donny & Angel by Adiwarna Irawan

ADIWARNA, WEDDING

Doni and Angel is a unique couple. Doni works in an entertainment field while Angel is a billiard athlete. I can imagine how fun their life is. Their wedding was held in Labuan Bajo, a very famous place in Flores where they met at the first time. When I heard that the wedding was going to be held in Flores, I was so excited. What I imaged was a line of small islands on the ocean. And I was right. Flores has a special beauty in its nature. It was my lucky day to have this wedding photo shoot project.

Labuan Bajo, one of a few islands in Flores. Most of the residents work as fishermen, there are also many travel agencies who offer diving tours in Flore. Why? because, Flores has a very beautiful under water scenery. I have proved it on the second day when I was there for the wedding photo shoot. We went for a boat trip to Komodo Island. It was a great experience, unfortunately I did not have underwater camera. But, I enjoyed every moment of it.

The wedding ceremony was taken place at the Plataran, one of many beautiful venues along the beach. I really love their decorations with sailor theme. One of the things I like was their souvenir, a bracelet with ship steer pedant. Everything is designed in sailor theme, very interesting.

The wedding was simple and sacred. Angel looked so beautiful and humble in her wedding dress. Everybody who attended the wedding was smiling. Everybody was happy including my team and me.

After the wedding, the couple brought us for a boat trip to the Rinca Island, one of the places where the Komodo dragons live. We were so lucky that we got a chance to see the very rare species of animal that became one of the icons of Indonesia. Rinca Island is populated by around two thousands Komodo dragons. They live freely in that island.

When we arrived there, the rangers briefed us before exploring the island. There are many other wild animals live in the island other than the komodo dragons. We were divided into two groups, each groups has two rangers to look after us. The rangers said that komodo dragons don’t attack people unless when they are hungry. They have very strong sense of smell about three to four kilometers. When I was there, I got a very rare moment when a Komodo dragon couple was trying to mate. I was so lucky.

I was very happy that I had a chance to witness Doni’s and Angel’s wedding in Flores and also going to see komodo dragons. It was a new experience for me and I want to go there again for many more wedding photo shoots projects. It was a great moment for me because I can work while I also call it as a vacation. Thank you so much for Doni and Angel.

Bambu Indah |Ubud Wedding Zac & Chi-Chi by Adiwarna Irawan

ADIWARNA, WEDDING

I met Zac and Chi-Chi for the first time two days before their wedding. The wedding was taken place in a beautiful place in Ubud, called Bambu Indah. At the beginning, I did not have any idea at all about the wedding venue since there are not too many couples having their wedding in area like Ubud. Most couple want their wedding to be held at the beach. But, it’s different with Zac and Chi-Chi’s wedding. The explained that the ceremony will be by the river on big rocks. I was a little bit surprised and curious about it. It made me so excited. So I asked them to show me the location. It took around 15 minutes to go down to the river, it was so fun. As we arrived at the venue, I realized that I’ve seen this place before on a blog. And when I was reading the blog, I was wondering if I have a chance to do a wedding photo shoot at this place. The day has come!

Bambu Indah is one of many resorts in Ubud that its building looks more Indonesian architecture style. They have one “panggung minang” a special hut from Minang which is quite big. Most of the villas at the Bambu Indah resorts looks like Indonesian traditional houses. There are a few big bamboo trees that make the resort looks natural. There is a deck with huge rice parries view, small area looks like a small rice field, small bridge, swing that makes this place feels comfortable like in our own house. I really like this place. A perfect place to have a unique wedding.

Zac and Chi-Chi are from the United States. They were very warm and friendly. It is very fun to work with them. Only 50 people attended their wedding. It’s a small wedding ceremony and party, but a very meaningful moment for them. Most of the guest are coming from the States. They are the family and good friends. Unlike the normal wedding that usually very fancy and formal, this wedding was very casual. Chi-Chi had the make-up done in an open space with her close friends. Chi-Chi even did the make up for her mother. This is a rare moment. Usually, brides don’t have time to do this kind of thing since they are very busy with themselves. But not with Chi-Chi.

The ceremony was taken by the river. The river was big and has very string current, you can do water rafting there. They stated their vow on a huge rock while the guests sat one smaller rock around it. What a beautiful scenery. After the wedding ceremony, we continued the wedding photo shoot session around the villas. There are many nice location to take photos at, one of them is the mini rice field. I almost cried looking at the result of the photos. The couple said, there was a magic on my camera. I felt do flattered.

The night felt so short because the wedding was so relax and casual. There was no formal program on the wedding only the ceremony. I was so glad to be a part of Zac and Chi-Chi’s wedding. Thank you guys!
