There are many places to explore in this world, yet there are places that you don’t mind visiting again and again. Perhaps it has some sort of magic that captures both your hearts, and makes you feel at home instantly. Bali is that place for many, and it is not surprising that its beautiful venues and hospitality have enticed many from all around the world to have their wedding there.
Of all the venues in Bali, we have to say that the
Semara Uluwatu is still one of our favourites to date. With a gorgeous place like this, very little needs to be done except making sure you hire a great photographer like Ben Yew Photography. He captured this wedding, the serenity of Bali and the depth of emotions in this beautiful affair perfectly.
Leanne: “We started having holidays in Bali five years ago, and fell in love with the people, culture, food and the amazing time spent away together. Ever since then, we have returned to visit two to three times a year.
“We had seen some of Ben Yew’s work on a friend’s Facebook page, and we absolutely loved it so we tracked him down. We were so happy that he could fly to Bali and celebrate with us. Ben’s fine art approach to his work is so soft and beautiful, and he captured our cheeky smiles and love perfectly.
“A mixture of simple rustic and classic sums up both our styles and personalities, which we tried to portray through the lace and wooden tables, the gorgeous chandeliers and the handmade napkins made by my mum. One of our favourite parts of the wedding was the personalised, individual entrance songs that we did for each member of our bridal party. We kept them a secret till they danced out on the night. They all loved the songs we chose for them, and it was a great way to start the party.
“Having all our immediate family and bridal party, all 30 of us, stay together at Semara Villas Uluwatu for the days leading up to and after the wedding was so much fun and made our day so relaxed. If we could do it all again, we would not change a thing.”
