Frequently Asked Questions

Before the Photoshoot
I’ve designed my booking process to be as easy and convenient as possible. To secure your date, a 50% retainer of your chosen package is required, and this fee is non-refundable. For weddings, the remaining balance must be finalized two weeks before the wedding date. For family or engagement sessions, the final payment can be made in cash on the day of the photoshoot.
I accept payment via Paypal (with 4% transfer fees), WISE (most recommended) and bank transfer. major credit card with Visa, Mastercard & Amex logo, I do also have bank virtual account in selected countries that accept your currency.
I’ll send all the details along with the invoice when you have confirm the booking. For question regarding payment detail you can contact us at:

The best time for a photo session is during the golden hours—either at sunrise or sunset (6 AM-10 AM or 3 PM-7 PM)—to capture the soft, warm lighting that enhances natural beauty and adds a magical quality to the photos. Outside of these times, the sunlight in Bali can be quite harsh due to the island’s proximity to the equator, which may create strong shadows and less flattering conditions. Scheduling your session during the golden hours ensures the most flattering, natural light for your photos, creating stunning results that truly capture the essence of Bali’s beauty
For most of wedding photoshoot, I am booked a year in advance. For Bali engagement or prewedding three months in advance is still possible. But the best timing is as soon as possible! Chances are there other couples interested in your date as well I’d hate not to available on your chosen date. Check our availability and our Bali photographer packages by inquiring me now.
Bali has a wet season during the month of November to February. However even in the wet monsoon, in this tropical paradise, it is still likely it will be sunny for a good part of the day.
I always encourage embracing whatever weather comes our way, as it’s beautiful and unique in photos. If it’s just light rain we will wait until the rain stop. If it is harsh enough that it would make for a bad time at our shoot of course we will reschedule based on my availability.
I can also be creative with the rains! My gear is water-sealed, and so am I, I am happy to shoot in the rain and it won’t affect how many photos you receive. I pretty much have it covered, the rest is up to you!
To date, I’ve photographed over a 500 photo session and more than 200 weddings and never missed a single one, be it from illness or injury and knock the wood I never will. However, this is sadly something I can not guarantee. Luckily, I have associated photographer who will happy to replace me. Or if they are not available I would use my network to find a suitable replacement.
I don’t offer videography services myself, as I’ve chosen to specialize exclusively in photography. This allows me to focus fully on creating the best still images for you. However, I can easily collaborate with any videographer you choose, ensuring that both your photos and video flow together seamlessly. If you don’t have a videographer in mind, I can recommend a fantastic cinematography company whose style complements mine beautifully. Should you be interested, I can also provide bundled packages that include both photography and videography upon request. My goal is to ensure you have an effortless and cohesive experience for your special day.
Due to increasing number of professional photographer doing commercial photoshoot at the touristy location in Bali, like prewedding/engagement, fashion, modeling, product photoshoot, now each village start to charge an additional professional photography permit fees. Rates are varies from IDR50.000 – 1.000.000 (USD $5 – $70), depends on the location. This fee likely helps maintain the beach or the area and its surrounding environment, ensuring it remains pristine for visitors to enjoy. Plus, it provides a level of exclusivity and control over the number of photo shoots taking place, which can contribute to a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Overall, it seems like a worthwhile investment for capturing memories in such a picturesque location. The fee will be paid directly (IDR cash only) at the location’s ticket box.
My work blends fine art photography with photojournalism. I strive to emulate the film look of Fuji 400 or Portra 400, characterized by soft, pastel colors and natural light as the primary source. This style thrives in outdoor summer or tropical lighting, making it perfect for Bali’s beautiful environment. Before hiring us, please ensure that you’ve reviewed our portfolio to see if our photography style aligns with your preferences.
After the Photoshoot
A common question that quickly follows after the photoshoot day is an email or message asking where your photos are and when will you get to see them. Of course, the excitement of seeing your beautiful photos makes us impatient and question what the hell we are waiting for.
At each session I captured around 3000 – 7000 shots and each image needs to be carefully selected to tell the story of your day. Then there is the editing, cropping photos, adjusting the color balance to create beautiful light and airy result. There is a lot more work to be done once the photos are captured.
The length of time you receive your photos depends on the duration of your session.
1-2 hours session: delivery in within 2 weeks
4-6 hours session: delivery in within 3 weeks
More than 6 hours session: delivery in within 4-6 weeks
Once completed, your collection of images will become available in your personal gallery and will include a mixture of color and black and white images.
If you chose the package that covers more than 8 hours session, full-resolution images (300dpi) are delivered on a custom made USB drive approximately 2 weeks after your gallery is made available. This includes about 6000 digital negative images.
If you purchased my fine art album with your package then this will take additional time too. Once the photos edited, my team will design the layout to fit into an album that telling a story of your day. I pick the best selection of photos highlighting the key moments. Once done I will send the layout for your approval. When everything is done then it needs to be sent away for printing. It will need around 2 weeks to print the album.
I focus on basic editing techniques, including exposure adjustment, brightness and contrast enhancement, cropping, color correction, and toning. However, I do not provide advanced digital imaging services, such as body reshaping or extensive retouching. My goal is to present authentic and natural images that capture the true essence of your moments.
