Have you ever dreamed of having a pre-wedding photoshoot in Bali? There is a reason why Bali is one of the first destinations that comes to mind for an ideal pre-wedding photoshoot location. Bali is simply beautiful; many places throughout the island are romantic and breathtaking. It’s a great treat for couples who’d love an exotic pre-wedding theme.
Here are six locations on the island with a gorgeous view to complement you and your beautiful fiancée.
1. Petitenget Beach
If you’re looking for a location in the Seminyak neighborhood, look no further than Petitenget Beach. The clean beach, wide-angle sunset, and brilliant orange-violet sky together compose the perfect backdrop for a couple. The beach is not crowded at all, as it offers plenty of space for other visitors and this guarantees privacy, especially if you’ve made an arrangement with your photoshoot organizer.
2. Tanah Lot
If you both love the sunset, take it one step further to include a Balinese temple that is perched on top of a lone rock in the sea, constantly beaten by rough waves. Tanah Lot is a popular pre-wedding photoshoot location, and you can easily hire expert photographers who are experienced in using this unique scenery to its full potential.
3. Suluban Beach
Sea cliffs and narrow gorges are found aplenty in Suluban Beach for an otherworldly visual experience. If you bring yourself a photographer friend, this will be an exciting challenge for him or her as light, shadow, and textures interplay to create various natural effects on your photos. You and your fiancé will also bring home unique pre-wedding photos that constantly remind you of the exciting times together.
4. The Mangrove Forest
The Mangrove Forest is planted in the shallow waters, but there are wooden walkways on which you can walk. With arching root and stalk systems on either side of the walkway, this cool green gem in Sanur is relatively dense with plant life but allows great lighting and color for a nature-themed photoshoot. Think of colors that go well with green: white, safari brown, purple, and lilac. You may want to avoid wearing maroon, green, or dark blue.
5. Tegenungan Waterfall
Another amazing location near Ubud is Tegenungan Waterfall. This is a popular area for pre-wedding photoshoots that pose a fun challenge. If you and your fiancé are the adventurous types, then you shouldn’t have much trouble navigating the rainforest, pebbly paths and through the shallow pond, in order to get closer to the waterfall. If you wait until the golden hours, it’s possible to make use of the piercing ray of sunlight that peers through the forest that casts a highlight on the waterfall.
6. Gunung Batur
Gunung Batur is one of the most climbable highlands in Bali. At 1717 meters, casual climbers begin to scale the mountain base at 3 am to catch the sunrise. The sunset is also equally spectacular, and it is up to the couple to decide which of the views they’d like to capture. Don’t be too worried about mistiming either the sunrise or sunset, because Gunung Batur has another amazing feature to offer. The view of the great Batur Lake (an excellent backdrop in golden hours) is equally fantastic.
Stay at The Colony Hotel
After an exhausting day capturing photos of a lifetime, stay overnight at The Colony Hotel. A boutique hotel, reserved only for adults, is perfect accommodation for the couple. Dine and rest at the coziest en-suite rooms you’ll ever experience. Book your stay at The Colony Hotel, Seminyak Bali.
