Shot!

Posted in Sponsors at 7:42 pm by wedding

In our usual unconventional way, our outdoor pre-wedding photography shoot was confirmed three hours before it happened. We had not planned on the number of photographs required, the poses or the mood of the entire session. Talk about last minute!

Although being a photogenic couple helps, we have to thank the expert lens and eye of Rio Helmi for the fantastic pictures taken at his place, Rumah Rio. Rio has been called “one of Indonesia’s leading and most internationally-recognised photographers”, “one of Asia’s leading photographers” as well as “one of Asia’s most celebrated photographers” by publications.

Yes, Rio is a busy man with engagements worldwide as well as many published photographs in books. Just do a Google or Amazon.com search on his name and it will turn up numerous entries of his work.

Yet despite all the accolades, Rio is a humble, humorous and helpful guy. We think his employee most aptly describes the element that makes photographs taken by Rio unique: “When I look at Rio’s pictures, I can see a soul in them”.

When the photographer is not cracking jokes and taking photographs, he exudes a fatherly figure that commands our respect. We love him, and we are extremely grateful for the time he set aside for our pre-wedding photographs, all at no charge.

Before the shoot, we made a quick stop at Milano Salon in Ubud for hairstyling for both of us and make-up for Patricea. We were impressed with the good results they produced at the speed – 45 minutes flat! – they took to doll both of us up.

Besides hair treatments, Milano salon also provides a full-range of spa treats such as massage, scrubs, waxing, manicure and pedicure. It is located at Jl. Monkey Forest, near Casa Pasta, which is near the football field, and can be contacted at 973488 (pls include country code +62 when calling).
