Magic Bali wedding at Atas Ombak villa
Above all let me express my heartfelt gratitude for being part of this wonderful wedding of Jef & Juliana. There are a few things that came together which makes this wedding special.
The Venue ! This villa wedding took place at ATAS OMBAK villa – one of Bali’s most spectacular villa wedding venues.
Secondly, the weather. This wedding took place at the height of the rainy season in Bali. And indeed during the last 5,6 days before the wedding, it had been raining excessively – every day.
And on that morning the same – rain, rain, rain… I was already fearing the worst… And shortly before lunch, when it was still pouring I was mentally preparing myself for photographing a complete wedding in rain.
But then the ‘magic’ happened. At around 14.00 h the rain stopped. And it did not return until the evening.
It remained very clouded during the whole day. But that was a blessing in disguise. Why ? Firstly for the guests: Because it was not hot.
But more importantly for the photographs. The thing with overcast skies is that you can get a beautiful soft light for photographs.
Ad to this: One of the most gorgeous brides I ever had the pleasure to photograph and the end result speaks for itself.
The actual wedding ceremony took place also very late in the afternoon. Again something that got me worried. But it all worked out fine.
We even had some time left after the ceremony to head down to the beach for a short photo session with the newlyweds.
The only downside was that halfway into the reception the rain came back and everything had to be rushed under cover.
Yet, it was still a wonderful Bali wedding which I enjoyed being part of very much.
That lovely Bali feel.

What can we say Dominik, thank you for being there to capture this most special moment in my and Juliana’s life. I work in the film and television business and for me it was important to find someone who has the vision and the technical ability to capture the beauty and most importantly the emotion of the moment. For something as special as our wedding, this was even more important and I want to thank you for delivering over and above our expectations. You are truly an artist and despite an overcast day, you’ve made the photographs look amazing!
Jef and Juliana
Thank you so much Jef ! It was a pleasure and an honour at the same time to be part of this fantastic event that was your wedding.
Hope to see you again in Bali some day.
All the Best – DOMINIK
Photography is very important for me, it’s part of my daily life, it’s an expression of who we are. My lovely husband, knowing how important this was for me got us the best photographer in Bali, Dominik Vanyi. Dominik has a signature and unique artistic vision, framing each moment and detail perfectly. Importantly, he captured the emotion and expression of our love for each other and our friends and family who were sharing the experience with us. So many great, candid and beautiful shots that will now be with us for the rest of our lives. I have been looking the pictures over and over again with a smile on my face. Thank you so much Dominik, your work is outstanding and we are thankful that you were there for us!
Juliana,
Firstly thank you so much. Your kind words mean a lot to me. And it is feedback such as yours that make my work as a Bali wedding photographer so gratifying.
It was blissful and rewarding at the same time working for you. A gorgeous bride, a fantastic wedding… all perfect.
Once again than you so much.
DOMINIK
