Bali, the “Island of the Gods,” has always been the perfect canvas for painting stories of everlasting love. For Thaddeus Cheung and Rachel, their choice fell upon one of the most iconic locations in Bali: the

Infinity Chapel at Conrad Bali. Their wedding day was not just a celebration, but a visual masterpiece filled with emotion, happiness, and unforgettable moments that we were privileged to capture.

A Sacred Ceremony at the Horizon’s Edge

The sacred ceremony began inside the iconic Infinity Chapel, a modern architectural marvel that appears to float on water, blending seamlessly with the blue of the Indian Ocean. Accompanied by their closest family and friends, Thaddeus and Rachel exchanged their sacred vows. The soft afternoon sun streamed through the glass walls, creating a magical and serene atmosphere as they declared their love. Every glance, every smile, and every tear of joy was a testament to their sincere love—precious moments that became our main focus.

A Celebration of Warmth and Culture

After the moving ceremony, the celebration shifted to a warm evening reception under the Balinese sky. The atmosphere came alive with sparkling hanging lights and the laughter of guests. A major highlight of the evening was a stunning traditional Balinese fire dance performance, adding an exotic cultural touch to the international celebration. Candid moments, from touching speeches to the lively party, were all captured, telling an authentic story of celebration.

The Grand Finale: Fireworks Over Paradise

As the perfect end to the evening, a magnificent fireworks display lit up the night sky, with the silhouette of the Infinity Chapel as a breathtaking backdrop. Thaddeus and Rachel embraced, watching the spectacular show of lights, a symbol of their brilliant new beginning together. This moment was not just a beautiful conclusion, but a magical memory they will cherish forever.

Our Inspiration is Your Emotion

At Akiphotograph, we believe that every photo is a record of emotion. As our philosophy states, “

I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE EMOTIONS IN WEDDING CELEBRATIONS”. The wedding of Thaddeus and Rachel is a perfect example of this. From the sweet anticipation before the ceremony, the deep emotions during the blessing, to the euphoria of the evening party, every second was an inspiration for us.

On the majestic cliffs of Uluwatu, where the sky meets the ocean, a modern fairytale came to life. Queeny and Kelvin’s wedding day at The Surga was a celebration of love filled with laughter, happy tears, and unforgettable magic. It was a day where their story began with the words, “

Happily ever after starts here”.

An Altar Above the Clouds

Their sacred blessing was a truly breathtaking sight. Walking on a transparent glass stage that stretched towards the horizon, with the blue ocean as their witness, Queeny and Kelvin tied their lives together forever. The altar, adorned with thousands of fresh white flowers and glittering chandeliers, created a heavenly atmosphere, as if they were truly exchanging vows above the clouds. The moment Kelvin first saw Queeny, and as they shared their vows with voices shaking with emotion, was the beautiful heart of the day.

From Morning Laughter to an All-Night Party

The story of the day began long before the ceremony. The morning was filled with excitement—Queeny and her bridesmaids toasted with champagne in their silk robes, while Kelvin and his groomsmen shared laughs while getting ready. Every detail, from the elegant invitations to the carefully chosen accessories, told a part of their love story.

As night fell, the celebration turned into an epic party. Illuminated by sparkling chandeliers and stars, Queeny and Kelvin made a spectacular grand entrance, welcomed by a shower of cold fireworks. Moments like the cake cutting, their romantic first dance, and a lively party where everyone danced and even jumped into the pool, showcased a celebration that was truly alive and full of joy.

A Magical Climax: The Glowing Sky

To cap off the perfect evening, a magnificent fireworks display painted the night sky with brilliant colors. Beneath the glowing spectacle, Queeny and Kelvin embraced, starting their new chapter in the most magical and unforgettable way.

Every Emotion is Our Inspiration

For us at Akiphotograph, Queeny and Kelvin’s wedding was proof of our deepest belief: “

I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE EMOTIONS IN WEDDING CELEBRATIONS”. From the emotional tears during the vows to the uninhibited laughter on the dance floor, every moment was a spark of inspiration that we captured to last forever.

Aki and his team were an incredible fit for our elopement ceremony! We traveled from overseas to get married in Bali and initially had some nervousness about not knowing the vendors well for such an important day. However, from the moment Aki and his team arrived, they guided the entire photography and video process so smoothly, making it fun and enjoyable for us while following to our requirements.

The final products are incredibly beautiful, and Aki was very open to the changes we wanted to make. He delivered a dream set of videos that help us relive the best memories of our day.

A huge thanks to Aki and his team for capturing our special day so perfectly!

Experience the perfect blend of East and West in a luxurious wedding at Alila Seminyak Bali. With our expert photography, we preserve the cherished memories of your special day, celebrated by friends and family from around the globe

We were absolutely blown away by Aki photography! We flew all the way from Hawaii for our destination wedding at hotel Indigo in Seminyak, Bali. We had never met Aki and his crew and didn’t know what to expect. Prior to meeting Aki and his crew, I had been dreading the photo shoot portion of the wedding. But I quickly found that they were professional and fun to work with. We were laughing and felt completely at ease shortly after we starting the photo shoot. They helped us pose and made us feel comfortable; looking at the pictures you wouldn’t be able to tell that we are naturally awkward photo takers (especially for couples photos). Not only was the photo shoot fun, the pictures were stunning and edited quickly (I have friends whose wedding photos took many Months to get back. Aki took only a few days)! Not to mention their editing style is gorgeous! We have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Aki photography. Thank you Aki for beautifully capturing our special day. Now for the hard part. Choosing which photos to hang in our house.

Takes place at Rumah Luwih, an impeccable wedding venue overlooking a black sandy beach at Gianyar, Erika and Keith’s Bali wedding is second to none. Timeless black and white photos that we shared here hopefully will give you an insight on how a monochrome speaks more than those with hues.

The beautiful Bali wedding starts with a good preparation. Surrounded by her best pals who stay through thick and thin, Erika ensures everything is perfect and flawless. Not forget to mention the groom’s preparation whose way more fun than any other. Both of them are lovable that’s why their wedding is simply the most heartwarming ever.

Dolled up in a flawless make-up and hair do, Erika looks very stunning and graceful. Her white gown and long veil fit her at its best. Keith’s outfit is also a wonderful one, a black suit with a touch of boutonniere.

Soon after, once all the families and friends gather together, the wedding ceremony starts by the beach. Sealed with a kiss, Erika and Keith then proceed to have a moment of two. They are such a sweetheart to camera and you can see how they appreciate each other’s companion in such an affectionate way. On a beautiful black sandy Bali beach, both looks very comfortable and lovable.

The celebration does not end here as a reception with a breathtaking table arrangement under starry light bulbs are prepared for the loved ones. Dancing, drinking and embracing the happiest moment is all you can see through the night. As a photographer, it is such a pleasure to be part of this warm and lovely night.
