// A Heartfelt Beach Elopement Wedding in Bali //

Photographer: Andre

While most of the people are competing to throw big scale weddings, Ry took a completely opposite approach for her wedding with Curtis. A modest, private and nontraditional celebration with just the two of them was everything she needed. The day felt special even since the moments of preparation. Ry was doing her own make up, and while I captured those alone moments I couldn’t help to imagine the excitement in her heart. All that mix of happy feelings while getting dolled up to get married to the love of her life. Even the thought of it made my heart flutter.

Before the sunset, we headed to the beach where Ry and Curtis vowed one to another in a heartfelt wedding ceremony. The celebration continued with a romantic private dining in a beach cave. Decorated with lights, the cave looked so beautiful. The sound of the sea in front of them accompanied them and perfected the mood of the night. Their celebration ended with a tender wedding dance by the bonfire.

Private elopements like this have a special place in our hearts. It shows love in the simplest and purest form. It represents the very meaning of marriage itself, which is a sacred union of two people, without the need of showing off or being flashy. And as a photographer it surely is an honor to witness and be a part of such a private celebration of love between them.
