I’ve been lucky enough to shoot more than 10 weddings in Bali the last three years and there’s something about that island and the people there that touches my inner core. It’s also a place that has to be experienced with all your senses. It’s hot and humid and as soon as you step off the plane you can feel and smell Bali in all its glory, the rich scents of burning incense and palm leaves. I’ve travelled all around the world, but nothing really smells and feels like Bali. I’m shooting four more Bali weddings this year. Tickets from Australia are cheap and if I didn’t work all the time, I think I would be going to Bali more. More than anything I want to do a photography workshop in Bali. I’m never more at ease than when I’m there.

You captured perfectly the music bring the nuances.
Jonas, look forward for your workshop in Bali! This post really inspired me!
Wow! As usual, you’re work just blows me away. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful, beautiful work as always – A workshop in Bali? Count me in!!!
Wow! These are truely stunning photos! Im off to Malaysia this summer and Im considering going to Bali as well!
One of the (many) reasons I love to look at your work is that you’re on the other side of the world from me and show an insight into such different cultures, be they in Australia, or elsewhere, as here in Bali. This is as far from weddings in rainy England as you can get. Thanks for the insight into another culture. A feast for the eyes.
These photos make my heart sing. Seriously. Just gorgeous.
I would love to go to a workshop and/or shoot a wedding in Bali! Lucky you Jonas!
Hi jonas!!
If you do a workshop in Bali, I would like to go. Will you put me on your list?
Thank you,
Lindsay
Stunning work Jonas! Where was this held at? I would absolutely love to stay there,its so beautiful.
I’ll be shooting one in Bali soon so it’s great to see this wonderful work.
What an interesting approach to a wedding photography.
Nice work, Nice Place. Hope we can have a wedding @ Bali this year.
Fantastiskt att se. Bilden med handdukarna vid poolen och regnet som är på väg in är helt lysande.
Great images. Wish I could come to the Bali workshop!

Oh how I love Bali. I desperately want to shoot a beautiful beach wedding there some day. It’s also the dream location of my own wedding (also hopefully some day)
If you’re doing a workshop in Bali I’m going to try my best to save up and go. It’s the closest destination to me.
The first picture is amazing…
You are a true master with the camera and framing!
Truly lovely images, I went to Bali many many years ago … now I want to go back.
it’s exciting to know that so many great photographers out there are excited about bali. i went to bali once on my honeymoon. it’s surely a heaven on earth. i would love to go there again someday. and if you’d do the workshop there it would be even better. great photos as always mr. Peterson! huge fan of yours!

I get to Bali at least once a year and it is one of my fav places to photograph!! The people are beautiful and the sights create images almost all by themselves. I have not shot a wedding there yet but I am looking forward to the day!! Great job mate:)
The one of the little girl with the pan in her hand and the elegant step kills me it is so beautiful.
Great stuff mate! Cant wait to get there one day!

Beautiful, beautiful work as always – A workshop in Bali? Count me in!!!
Hy, i’m a photographer from Romania, europe, and i’m astonished by your photos and your stile. I enter almost daily on your site, to see if you posted something new. God bless you and your familly and your work. You do a great great job.
It does look like a special place.
Yes, wanderlust.

So colorful! As always with your blogs it was hard to pick out favorites because I loved them all. I’d also love to go to a workshop someday, Bali or not. Thanks for sharing. :)
We love the dragonfly : D
Wow! Otroligt vackra foton och jag blir sugen på att besöka Bali omedelbums! Sista fotot skulle jag vilja vara med vid… sitta där på stranden och se de dansa med ljusen i handen :)
Absolutely stunning. Giving me huge amounts of travel envy.
Med den omgivningen kan man inte misslyckas :-) Inte för att jag tror att det skulle ha hänt dock…
Väldigt fint!;)
Haven’t made it that way yet but it looks heavenly through your eyes!
Couldn’t agree more. Spent my honeymoon there. Mesmerising place. Beautiful atmospheric photos
Oh, it’s a wonderful world!!!
These images fill me with wanderlust. Beautiful.
Most excellent as always Jonas.
I would love to come to one of your workshops and would doubly love to come if it was in Bali.

You have the best eye for every thing ! Love this looks unreal such a rad place to shoot !
all my dreams would come true if I could shoot just one wedding in Bali. You are right – there is no place on this earth like Bali – i too feel so at ‘home’ there. If you were to do a workshop over there I’m not sure I could resist signing up :)
Can’t wait for you to do a photography workshop here in Bali. Please please do.
Wow! As usual, you’re work just blows me away. Thank you for sharing.
