Bali Vlog: Prewedding Sneak Peek, Viral Cafes & Hidden Massage Gem


 

The PreWedding Photoshoot

There’s something about Bali that keeps pulling me back—it just has a special kind of magic. So when my fiancé and I were choosing a place for our pre-wedding shoot, Bali felt like the perfect choice. The mix of nature, culture, and calm made it feel extra meaningful for this moment in our lives.

The hardest part was picking the right vendor. There are so many talented options in Indonesia, each with their own editing style and aesthetic. But I kept coming back to Axioo. Even though they’re on the higher end, something about their work just spoke to me. I had a strong feeling that they’d deliver something truly special—and they did. Their style is classic and timeless. I love how their photos feel elegant and effortless, like they’ll still look beautiful years from now.

The whole shoot ended up being such a fun experience. My fiancé and I aren’t really used to being in front of the camera, but the team made us feel at ease right away. They guided us naturally, with no pressure, and turned the whole day into something light, joyful, and really memorable.

We started our shoot at Kebun Raya Bedugul because we love the vibe in the morning. The jungle felt calm and romantic with the fog and cool air. It was quiet too—since it was a weekday, there weren’t many people around. The weather was just right—cold at dawn, then cool as the sun came up. Even though we were in the middle of nature, we didn’t have any issues with mosquitos, which was such a relief. It was the kind of morning that made everything feel slow, peaceful, and worth waking up early for.



Our second location was a villa in Canggu. I chose this place on purpose because I wanted a clean, minimalist look for the photos. The neutral tones and simple, modern architecture gave the images a polished, magazine-like feel. Everything about the space felt calm and elegant—exactly the vibe I was going for. Since it was a semi-outdoor space, it did get a little warm during the shoot—but honestly, it was so worth it. I’m so glad we went with this location, because the results turned out even better than I imagined.




Our last location was the beach. Bali has so many beautiful beaches to choose from, but we ended up changing our spot last minute because the traffic was insane and we didn’t want to miss the sunset. The place we chose was actually quite crowded—there were a lot of other couples doing their pre-wedding shoots at the same time. At first, I wasn’t sure how the photos would turn out with so many people around. But when we got the results, I was honestly surprised—some of my favorite shots came from this location. We wore black outfits that felt simple, minimalist, yet classy. The color really popped against the soft light, and I loved how it made me look slim in the photos. And the sky? It was already beautiful in person, but the way our photographer captured it made it look even more magical.


See you peeps!
