Intimate Affair

Photography by Terralogical

Destination weddings tend to be intimate ones, but more than that, it doubles as a holiday for all, with a very relaxed type of atmosphere. For these lovebirds from Poland, it was the groom’s dream to get married on a beach, so a beautiful place like Bali was all they needed. There was no décor required, thanks to the natural arch, panoramic views of the ocean, and rolling rice paddies that were already provided byMother Nature.

Anya: “We wanted a modest and minimalistwedding and a very family-centric ceremony. Thatwas the most important thing for us. And it canbe said that this was our main theme.” Instead offlowers or other details, everything was kept verysimple, with both families all dressed in white.

Held in a cave by the beach, this wedding truly was intimate with just eight guests – four family members from each side watched as the bride and groom exchanged their vows and wedding rings. As Bali is known to be quite crowded, finding a beautiful spot on the beach with no tourists around might have been tricky. The newlyweds wanted someplace where it would be just the two of them and their families, and The Cove, which sits on a pristine private beach in West Bali, fit the bill perfectly. Providing them with panoramic views and total privacy, the exotic alcove was the ideal spot.

The refreshing lack of fanfare (and guests) also meant that the newlyweds could spend their time exploring the natural surroundings of The Cove – the secluded beach, the dramatic cave where they said “I do”, and the gorgeous rice fields. What absolutely stunning wedding portraits! Set against the backdrop of Bali’s uniquely gorgeous landscape, these photos forever captured not just the newlyweds’ “just married” joy, but also the elation of their families.
