Bandung · Documentary weddings & editorial

I photograph the parts nobody posed for.

Twenty-two weddings a year, one photographer, no second shooter unless the day genuinely needs one. Every price on this site is the price you pay.

How a booking works

Five steps, and you can stop at any of them.

Nothing here is designed to hurry you. The only irreversible moment is the deposit, and by then you will have met me and seen a full gallery start to finish rather than a highlights reel.

01

You send a date

I reply within two working days with whether it is free and what it would cost — including a no, which is more useful to you than a maybe.

02

We talk for an hour

In the studio or over a call. You see two complete galleries, unedited count included, not the twenty best frames from a hundred weddings.

03

Deposit holds the date

Thirty per cent, refundable in full for fourteen days. After that I have turned other couples away for the date and it is not returnable.

04

A walk-through, a month before

We go through the schedule hour by hour and find the two places it will run late. Every wedding has them.

05

Previews in five days, gallery in four weeks

Forty images within five days so you have something to send your family, and the full edit inside four weeks. In eleven years I have been late twice, and both times I said so first.

What it costs

Three collections, all of them published.

Weekday weddings are twenty per cent less and I would rather you knew that than found out afterwards.

From couples

Including the one that did not go to plan.

“It rained from two o'clock and did not stop. He never once suggested we move anything indoors — he just kept working, and the wet pictures are the ones on our wall.”

Ayu & Reza · Ciwidey, March

“The gallery took five weeks, not four, and he emailed us in week three to say so rather than letting us wonder. That mattered more than the extra week cost us.”

Sinta & Dimas · Yogyakarta, May

“We hired him for a product shoot and got a licence written in plain language with the exact channels and the exact term. Nobody else quoted us that way.”

Dates

Eleven Saturdays left this year.

The 2027 diary opens in October. Weekday and Sunday weddings are almost always free, cost twenty per cent less, and are the easiest days to photograph well because nobody is rushing.

Two working days for a reply, always — including when the answer is that I am already booked.
