This post should’ve been posted last February, but I have to admit that last month was my busiest month, ever. So let’s assume this post is for February. :p
.
As I said before (and always), every wedding day is special and different. As a wedding photographer, I have a personal definition about my favourite wedding party. Some of weddings that I shoot have a deepful meaning to me. And it comes not only because I knew the couple before their wedding day, but also how genuine and truthful the atmosphere at their wedding day are.
.
Honestly, I shot this wedding on the last day of 4 days wedding marathon. Am I tired ? of course a big YES. But when I saw the atmosphere of their wedding from the morning, and somehow I had a bigger spirit and more enthusiastic than my days before. And I didn’t even know or?met Agung and Ardilla before that day. It was a rare feeling for someone like me.
.
Thankyou Agung and Ardilla for trusting me as your wedding photographer. Even it was a short session, but I’m truly grateful for it. I really love your wedding and you guys inspired me a lot. Hope you guys have blessed marriage life.

cheers,
@indrastvns.

Happy new year guys! it’s always been good to write here again and again. In 2017, I’ll promise to write in this blog more than ever, so please support me guys. :)
.
This time, I won’t talk to much, I just want to share what I feel so far as a wedding photographer. Whenever I have an engagement session, (almost) every couples feel so tired and want the session finished sooner. Then I think to myself, do they really enjoy it? If they don’t, why they don’t enjoy it? It should be one of the best moment in their life, but if they don’t enjoy the session, then why they still do it? And the other couple do the same thing again. Did the engagement session really needed?
.
So I try to change the method. and the key is, just do what they want, what make them happy, be simple, be natural, be enjoyable, and please reduce using “too-much” gowns, shall we?
.
And here’s the engagement session of Ronald and Vina, another lovely couple. I hope you guys enjoy it!
.
xoxo
Indra.

Being someone’s first love maybe great, but to be their last is beyond perfect. Meet Jojo, a guy who has conquered a dozen of girl (Jojo knows the definition of beautiful girl since he still in his mom’s pregnancy, said Uung) and Uung, a woman who did the same thing as well as Jojo. Then they met each other and fell in love. What a great love story, isn’t ? I’m just kidding.

.

I know their love story isn’t that simple, but this is what I want to say. What makes this love story great? They met each other and then fell in love? Nope. The moment that they decided to make their love became the last is the best part of this story. So it doesn’t matter who’s the first, the second, the third, etc. It is like a journey, a past becomes a history, a history becomes an experience, and an experience becomes a lesson. A lesson to love better. A lesson to treat better. This is only my opinion, if you read a book until you know how’s the ending then why you should read again? It’s not important to be their first love, because the most important thing of all is being the last one.

.

This is my love journal about Jojo and Uung, a simple e-session but so intimate. Keep being young and crazy guys.

xoxo,

Indra.

Bali never fail to amaze me, there’s always something new to be explored. And it makes me choose bali as my favorite e-session destination. Near Bali, there is an island called Nusa Lembongan. It takes about 45 minutes to reach that Island with speedboat from Bali. Nusa Lembongan is just like a private island (yes, it’s a great destination for honeymoon), far away from city crowd, only beaches and cottages. And at night, having dinner at the local cafe, grab some beers, listen to the rumbling wave, and have chit chat until midnight, that’s a perfect combination. You guys should visit it someday.
Then I got a chance to meet Carsten and Ica while I had been there. Ica lives in Bali, and Carsten comes from Germany. They met each other at the wedding party of Ica’s friend in Bali. And they decided to take me to Bali as well as Nusa Lembongan. These are some of their moments that I captured. I hope you guys enjoy it.
Cheers,
Indra.

love is a unique thing in this world. some people say that true love will be everlasting, but to make it become everlasting, there has to be a secret and it won’t be that easy. maybe love needs trust, commitment, patience or anything else. every couple have their own secret and it’s different from one and another. that’s why I called it “a love journal”.

meet Inov and Ayhwien, both are one of my best friends. She and I were class mates since junior high school. at Senior High school, Inov dated Ayhwien. I know (some of) their up side downs and how they pass the problems. finally, they came to me this early year and asked me to capture their love. I’m so happy for you guys!

they asked me to do an unordinary photo shoot. some concepts popped out from our talk, then we decided to do this street session. it was totally fun session after all. keep being young and crazy, don’t forget to visit casino again for the payback. and I really looking forward into your big day.

thank you for reminding me the joy of shooting lovebirds.

xoxo,

Indra.

Finally I’m here again. Yay. But I won’t write any story.?I just wanna say that every wedding is special, you may like someone’s wedding celebration and you really want to make your wedding day into theirs. Trust me, your wedding day won’t completely same, even you use the same vendors as them.Because wedding day isn’t all about us, the vendors, we’re there just for supporting your day. We may give some “effects” into your day, but it’s all about your story, your chemistry, your moments, your emotions.

Just be the real you on your day.

Best regards,
Indra.

Today is Valentine’s day and I upload a story in this blog, what a coincidence! [ of course not, I’ve planned it guys :) ]

How’s your valentine’s day? I hope it goes well. Even though some people say that you love someone everyday, not only in this day, but I am not a hundred percent with that. At least let’s pick one day in a whole year to do more for everyone that we love. Not only for our husband or wife or girlfriend or boyfriend but also our family, our friends, our colleague, etc. And why I said “to do more” instead “to love more” because love is more than word, love is a verb.

Finally the wait is over! Thank you Andrew & Lina for trusting me, Became your witness of your vow to love each other until the end of time is as touching as capture your moment in the esession before [but more fun, literally :p].

Well, enjoy your marriage life! and happy valentine for everyone who read this! [ and actually for who celebrate it ]

With Love,
Indra

Trenchtown sung by Bob Marley said “One good thing about music, when it hits you fell no pain So hit me with music.

Every music or song brings different memories from a person to another, it’s like when you’re watching film or playing video games, there will be a backsound from a scene. I think our life isn’t much different from it. A song [especially old songs] can take us to our past memories. good or bad. bitter or sweet. strengthen or weaken. People says it depends on the lyric, but I don’t think so. In a song, not only the lyric have a main rule to bring the emotion, but also the person you were with when the song played all over again and again.

remember what song that played in the store, when your parents bought the things you want so bad ?
remember what song that played in radio, when your best friend broke his(her) promise to you?
remember what song that your crush recommended to you?
remember what song that your girlfriend (boyfriend) always sing it until you sick of it?
remember what song that played in the restaurant when your boyfriend ask you to marry him?
remember what song that played along at the funeral of the one you really love?

well, a simple e-session at Bali with Andrew & Lina made me realize that every couple has their own music. And I believe their music will speak louder than words to each other.

It’s been 2 years since my last post in this Blog :(

I know I’m too busy ( or lazy ) to work on this page, and people nowadays love to surf on instagram better than blog, so I upload my photos on my Instagram

( instagram = indrastvns ) :p

oh yap, first I would like to say Happy new year 2016! May this year bring happiness to all of you guys!

God is so good to me, at the beginning of this year, He gave the most upredictable wedding to be captured. When I heard the name of ‘bride to be’ for the first time, I thought nothing. But after I knew her complete name, I knew that she is one of my gf’s friend.

Sometimes we meet Agus (Ming ming) n Irene in local church. I never know that Ming Ming is one of a kind. His craziness is truly beyond the limit. But that made their wedding day became more enjoyable to capture. And their wedding party was so amazing! I really love to capture your big day guys! Even me and my team were so tired at that day, but it was an honor to be a special part on your big day.
Have a blessed yet crazy marriage life!

cheers

Indra

I knew Robert since I begun my university life. he was my senior in the same subject and we were in the same dorm. after we had some talks, I knew that we are from the same hometown and he is one of my bestfriend’s elder brother. it was a little bit surprising indeed, but as people often say, the world is small Robert is kind and hardworking, whereas Natalia is so nice. I hardly knew natalia back then but Natalia is friendly. she always greeted me even when we haven’t had an official shakehand at that time :))

For some people, university life is memorable and meaningful. It is a time when a lot of precious moments happen. For others, high school is just a little bit more fun.
This couple started their relationship since they were in university and, in the end, they ministered together in one of the churces in town. One thing that I couldn’t forget from Robert is this: Robert lived on first floor while I was on the second one. In the morning or afternoon, he always opened his door and sang. Whatever the song was, his voice was always able to reached my ears on the second floor. I just laughed so hard for the first time :)) And he was the first person I asked when there were problems with dorm’s connection

They had their wedding reception last October in Solo, my hometown. They chose a western-style wedding party, so it was an outdoor party. I love to capture both of western and eastern-style wedding, but I prefer the western one because I love simplicity. for me simplicity is the best. western-style party is more simple and meaningful, because the bride and groom can greet their families, friends and other guests directly while having a chat and drinking wine, they smile and laugh, what a beautiful moment! Unfortunately, heavy rain came before the party started and when it was almost over. regardless, praise the Lord, the party went so well and it was awesome!

Well, I’m sorry for this late post. Here are some pictures of their happiest moment in their life. best wishes for both of you, have a blessful marriage. congratulations!

cheers,

Indra
