Japan Prewedding | Edwin & Suci By Adiwarna

Both of the couple are love travelling. Edwin and Suci decided to visit two big cities in Japan, Tokyo and Kyoto were chosen as the backdrop for the photoshoots. We goes to the iconic sights of Arashiyama Bamboo grove and Fushimi Inari-Taisha in Kyoto.

Walking into the extensive bamboo grove is like entering another world, the thick green bamboo stalks seem to continue endlessly in every direction and there’s a strange quality to the light. You’ll be unable to resist trying to take a few photos here. The couple took some beautiful photoshoot there, this place it’s one of the most photographed sights in the city. Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It’s hard to describe, we can take many great pictures in the hundreds red gates without any other person disturbing. Can enjoy the quietness and magical athmosphere as long as we want.

We also went to Hitachi Seaside Park, there was absolutely stunning. The Kochia bushes were crimson red and plump. We do some casual-romantic photoshoot here, this park is so awesome. Far away from Kyoto, we also do some photoshoot at the capital of Japan, Tokyo. We visited Shibuya, one of Tokyo’s most colorful and busy district. The couple’s took photoshoot between a beautifully messy or messily beautiful. But it’s amazing to see all the crowd walking in different directions.

Menjangan Resort | Metha & Anton pre wedding by Mario Jr

MARIO JR, PRE WEDDING

I believe in something called first impression.

In my first meeting with Metha and Anton, we instantly clicked, and i thought to myself, this is my kind of couple.

Metha is a dentist (she took out 2 of my teeth last month) while Anton is a diving addict.
To shoot them was effortless, they said “just shoot whatever you want to”, so we went to Menjangan to do the photo session since Anton have a hidden agenda. He want to dive there to hunt something called Mandarin fish. Apparently the fish did not want to see him there. They finally meet at Manado three months later 🙂

Their photo session feels more like holiday than work. I’m grateful the couple was happy. Now i can’t wait to shoot their wedding day on May

Labuan Bajo Pre Wedding | Adhi & Dana by Gusde

GUSDE, PRE WEDDING

Many people just knows about Komodo Island but they don’t know that Komodo Island located in Labuan Bajo.

Labuan Bajo is a fishing town located at the western end of Flores in The Nusa Tenggara region of east Indonesia. The town is quite small but easy to find accommodation and transportation.

I’ve been there almost five times. I can feel the natural beauty of Indonesia, it was amazing. Labuan Bajo is very stunning, they have so many beautiful places to explore, not only Komodo Island. They also have Padar Island, Manta Point, Pink Beach, Gili Lawa, and Kalong Island for examples.

Not every couple want to go to Labuan Bajo for pre-wedding session, but in Dana and Adhi case is different. When i explain about how beautiful Labuan Bajo to them and i told them “just think it’s traveling” they think for a minutes until decide to say “yes, we want”

Enjoying the blue ocean use a boat, eating on the boat, sleeping on the boat and explore the island use the boat. Looked the night sky, i never saw the sky full of stars like this before.

This journey to Labuan Bajo was one of a great experience.

Kingson & Heidi Pre wedding at Sumba Island by Gusde

GUSDE, PRE WEDDING

The landscape, the sea, the beach, the peaceful and tranquil environment, Sumba has reminded me of Bali back in the 80s. As if it brings me back to my youth, where I, the lost soul was once searching for adventures and nature beauty, running free and wild exploring the ‘raw’ Bali with my camera. The air that I breathed, the sight what laid in front of me when I first stepped to Sumba had flashed all these memories in a glance and somehow, abruptly I had big smile on my face and this fire deep within that evoked my spirit and energy to say ‘Sumba,I am ready to capture you!”

I was delighted when Kingson and Heidi contacted me for their prewedding. I was deliberately offering Sumba to this beautiful couple who likewise love journey and adventure. I thought, though I have never ever and will never ever bored with Bali as there are still lots to explore nonetheless I needed something different, some kind of feeling when you first fall in love, that magic spark. And so we did go to Sumba, exploring and adventuring. And it was indeed magical.

Capturing this lovebird was very exciting and somewhat adventurous, from the serene beach glazed with golden sand and blue water, to the uninterrupted view of fresh green savannah. Along the way we saw horses, goats and wild boar live freely in the nature, as far as your eyes can see. Not to forget, Sumba also has stunning white sandy beach; smell of the fresh ocean and the breeze flowing harmoniously with the waves made such a great-relaxed feeling. It is absolutely magical spot for sunset too.

Sumba Island is one of three big islands of East Nusa Tenggara. The popularity of this place as tourist destination may not be the same as Bali, nonetheless it’s definitely worth a visit. Sumba has charmed me in a lot of different ways. I promise myself I will be back.

Start the beginning of your love journey in Sumba, beautiful memories captured in magical land is priceless. Worth every corner of your home as you hang them in frames.
