This could be the first of the BIG films project in Indonesia.

It’s definitely a complete different game from what we normally shot weddings in Australia. Based on this first experience, we felt Indonesian wedding was much slower pace than what’s in Australia. There were more people involved in every event, it makes harder to shoot the story to flow naturally. It’s definitely quite a challenge to create something heartfelt and yet fun at the same time.

But when we edited them, we still believe the BIG films can definitely bring a new fresh air in Indonesia wedding cinematography. Please check it out! We hope it still does the justice.

Yes, we are available in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia for wedding commission. I have been busy training them and they are ready to rock Indonesia.

In this project, I personally big thank you to my friend from WIMO, Dimar who helped shooting on the day. Thanks bro. I owe you one!

It’s been a long soul-searching process to understand what we really want to pursue for Foto Expression. As the company keeps growing, we must understand every step we do is something that we know for sure we can handle clients’ expectations. Thus, this is our statement to make it huge! We dream big for Foto Expression, the BIG films and of course our baby in Foto Xpress.

This new website could be the longest overdue to-do list we’ve ever done. We love updating our portfolio at least once a year. But it has been almost two years since the last time we updated our website. And this could be the first official website of Foto Expression Indonesia. So it’s a super-exciting time for us.

There you go, www.fotoexpression.com is our first step towards our dream! This site is a combined website between our Australian branch and the new Indonesian branch.

We have also launched our online pricing calculator as the new feature in the website. This feature will enable couples to quickly search for packages that are most relevant to them, where couples can also mix and match with varieties of our packages and pricing.

In the pricing section, we also introduced Catch of the week. We know everybody loves discounts! So this is our way to offer attractive packages to couples, but at the same time, couples still enjoy the best quality of our products and services.

Seriously please check out those websites now, as we are now offering some stuff to give away for the celebration of the new website! Don’t miss out!

We have super excited news!!

It’s never just about the photography style when it comes to business, but the team is the key for everything. We know it too well based on our experience of building a super awesome team in Sydney. They are not only hard-working and team players in every wedding projects but we also have a great time hanging out. The results speak for itself.

Ilona and I have been traveling to Indonesia to shoot weddings in these past two years. We saw potential to make many couples happy to have their weddings documented with our natural storytelling style. I guess we were fortunate to be able to meet a lot of potential photographers during our speaking engagements with Wiki School Pedia in Indonesia. On that event, we met two different personalities that could fit straight-in to our team. They are Mario and Darmawan.

They know what it takes to be FE. They have been shooting for us since July this year. So this blog is just to officiate that Foto Expression Indonesia is now servicing weddings and pre-weddings in Indonesia. Check out our temporary websites before we have time to revamp the brand new website.

Indonesian couples in Sydney, now you know where to go if you want to combine the pre-wedding and wedding coverage in Sydney and Indonesia

Please come back again soon as we have more news for Foto Expression – Indonesia next year. Don’t forget to give Mario and Darmawan a warm welcome!

Howdy and welcome to my second blog on the new home of Foto Expression blog. This time I would like to share my first wedding anniversary in Bali recently. If you have read my previous blog, I mentioned that this year I had a great opportunity to shoot my first destination wedding outside my comfort zone, it is in Bali! The other thing that excites me was the wedding day happened one day before our first anniversary. What a coincidence!

Bali, for some reason has special place in our heart. I tried to ‘google’ around and found this statement that best illustrates the magical of Bali.  Here it is: Bali, known as Island of God, with its varied landscape of hills and mountains, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches, lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides all providing a picturesque backdrop to its colourful, deeply spiritual and unique culture, stakes a serious claim to be paradise on earth (quoted from Wikitravel). For those that have ever experienced the hospitality of Balinese, you may agree with above.  If you have not, lets check out some of my photos to truly show the magical of this little paradise.

You can also check our pre-wedding photos taken by Wiki Lee (and his wife Ilona Lee and Marcell Gunawan from Foto Expression) in Ubud and Jimbaran, Bali.

Back to the topic, when I knew that my client finally decided to book us as their photographer (YAY!!), the first thing on my mind (apart from the wedding itself) was WHERE to celebrate our anniversary?? There are lots and lots of nice and fancy restaurants in Bali, from no star until Michelin rated. However, since this is our first year celebration, I want this to be rather special. So I searched and asked around and finally decided to celebrate at Tirtha.

Tirtha, this venue called, is located on the top of Uluwatu cliff, with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. We held our wedding in Tirtha Luhur one year ago, on the 13^th November 2010. With the help from Andi (our wedding assistant from Tirtha Bridal) and thanks that no one actually got married in this place on that day, we were allowed to celebrate our first anniversary day here.

As soon as we stepped into the villa, we feel a magical tingle going through our body. Not to mention the luscious scent of the area go through every bit of our breath! The surroundings of the area are absolutely beautiful, and they just bring old good memories happened in this place a year ago. We were seated in the gazebo facing the Indian Ocean, next to the chapel. The decoration, the foods and the ambient were romantic. The night was so perfect (thanks God for not giving us rain on that night!) that we couldn’t ask for more. We enjoyed every minute as the time passed by. To sum up (otherwise I won’t stop!), we had a fabulous time; a memorable anniversary night in this place. We will definitely come back again!

Here are some random snapshots of Bali
