A Pre-Wedding Shoot Amid West Java's Natural Landscapes

Ivena and Eric had been best friends since junior high school, but it was not until years later that they started dating. After being together for five years, Eric finally popped the question to Ivena in the middle of a romantic dinner.

The couple then chose to explore a few spots around Bandung for their outdoor pre-wedding photo shoot. "We wanted to highlight the natural beauty of Kawah Putih, Stone Garden Geo Park, and Ranca Upas," said Ivena. Despite the popularity of these tourist attractions among other soon-the-be-wed couples, Ivena and Eric were able to add their own personal touch to their engagement photos. Along with talented photographer, Dikha Dheansa, they started the day early to catch the golden hour right after sunrise.

"It rained a lot in Ranca Upas when we came to visit, so the deer enclosure was really muddy. I had planned to wear a long mermaid dress for the shoot, but luckily I also brought an extra outfit. The black coat was a lifesaver that also gave us better results in the end," Ivena reminisced. Thanks to the combination of natural lighting and impeccable framing, every photo turned out flawlessly, don't you agree?
