Modern Wedding Photography with a touch of Awesome
I’m shooting seven weddings in Bali this year, so in many ways it was weird coming back to shoot at the exact same place where I shot my first Bali wedding last year – Villa Pemutih in Padang Padang. It was my very own version of Groundhog Day. Only a million times better. This day is one I can relive for the rest of my life. Yes, sir. Barry and Sian sure know how to throw a party.
sui solitaire - I hope I get to go to Bali one day, too. :]
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures.

sofia - Jag skriver det här allt för sällan (även om du nog får höra det ganska ofta ändå) men du är väldigt duktig på det du gör.
Jag har följt dig ett tag (alltså din blogg, inte som en stalker) och jag är verkligen imponerad över att du vågade bryta från ditt gamla jobb och börja med ett nytt. Även över att du lyckats så bra med det.
Får man fråga om du har något favoritobjektiv till din kamera? och är det förresten okej att kommentera i din blogg på svenska?
Ha det fint.

John Edgar - Hey! I shot exact same location in April, you did a much better job.. these are beautiful. Great work sir!
Gabor Dorogi - Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to request an offer for taking photographs (and videos in optional) on our wedding day (only for ceremony) on Bali somewhere outdoor on beach end of April, 2011. We would like to ask only digital (big) format on DVD without paper photos what we also can edit. We are waiting for your reply! Pls. let me know if you need any more information for your offer. Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Gabor Dorogi

lovely…
Johanna - Jag ska inte gifta mig än på ett bra tag. Men när det är dags hoppas jag verkligen att du fortfarande gör vad du gör nu! Tack för den mest inspirerande bloggen jag vet.
When Matt and Angie met at the Glastonbury Festival it was love at first sight. Only one problem; Matt had just moved from the UK to sunny Australia. Six months later Angie followed her heart and joined Matt down under. When they decided to get married they found themselves in a bit of a pickle. They needed a spot somewhere in between the UK and Australia, so that family and friends, both old and new, would be able to join them on their big day.
The answer was Bali.
On the day the 38 guests joined Matt & Angie at Villa Pemutih in Bingin. Overlooking the Indian Ocean – and with monkeys in the trees – we all experienced a very special day. Angie wore a vintage 1950′s dress she found in London, the girls got their stunning purple dresses made after they arrived in Bali and the boys looked equally dapper in grey and blue. Everything had a local touch, even the welcome drinks tasted of Bali with ginger and lemongrass keeping people cool in the tropic sun.
Both Matt and Angie are in to yoga, Angie even teaches classes in Sydney. The ceremony even started with all the guest doing a two minute “om” together with their eyes closed. It was also the first time I’ve seen a groom standing on his head in the bathroom while the guests were arriving outside and it still made perfect sense.
In fact, most things made perfect sense, during the speeches groomsmen and bridesmaids shared photos and clips from both their lives on a huge screen. It was truly fantastic.
Come to think of it, everything was perfect.
