Professional Bali Wedding & Family Photographer Since 2008
“Every photographer works differently. Here’s a bit about how I work and what matters to me”
The Photographer
Hi, I’m Hendrawan, but most people call me Iwan. As a Bali wedding photographer, I believe the most meaningful photographs are not created, they’re felt.
My journey began with a film camera when I was still a student. Back then, every frame mattered. Film was expensive, and every click of the shutter required patience, intention, and trust in the moment. There was no screen to review, no second chance, and no delete button. That experience shaped the way I approach photography to this day.
Since becoming a full-time photographer in 2008, I’ve had the privilege of documenting more than 1,000 weddings, couples, and families across Bali. Through all those years, one thing has remained the same: people matter more than poses.
A wedding is not just a celebration. It’s a collection of emotions that can never be repeated in exactly the same way. A nervous smile before walking down the aisle. Tears held back during the vows. Laughter shared with family and friends. A quiet glance between two people that says more than words ever could. These are the moments that tell the real story of a wedding, and they’re the moments I love to capture.
My photography style is natural, candid, and story-driven. I won’t ask you to constantly look at the camera or spend your day performing for photographs. Instead, I focus on capturing the genuine connections, emotions, and fleeting moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.
Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to mentor many photographers, some of whom have gone on to build successful careers and receive international recognition. While I’m proud of that journey, my favourite place has always been behind the camera, witnessing real moments unfold naturally.
When it comes to editing, I believe in timelessness. No heavy filters, no trends that will feel outdated in a few years. Just natural colours, beautiful light, and photographs that will still feel authentic decades from now.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a destination wedding in Bali, or a celebration surrounded by family and friends, my goal is simple: to create photographs that bring you back to exactly how it felt. Because long after the flowers have faded and the music has ended, your photographs become the memories that remain.
If you’re looking for a Bali wedding photographer who values genuine emotion, authentic storytelling, and timeless imagery, I’d be honoured to tell your story.

Wooooowwwwwwww!!!! Iwan under-promised and over-delivered. He did our Honeymoon photos and managed to capture incredible moments. Iwan, you are an artist and your perfectionism shows in the quality of photos that you take. Not only a gifted artist but an excellent communicator as well-responding to itinerary changes and planning locations that were just what we were looking for. Book him!
I had an absolutely incredible experience with Iwan Photography for my proposal! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make everything perfect. He helped me find the ideal location, guided me through every detail of the setup, and made the whole experience feel completely effortless.
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also an amazing person to work with, look no further. Highly recommend!
Iwan is one of the best photographers I’ve ever met. He is very nice and playful, so you can feel very relaxed and enjoy the experience while he takes your photos. Highly recommended to try!
Iwan was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. He was very quick to respond to my initial enquiry, with great communication in the lead up to the shoot and delivery of over 100 wonderful images within the timeframe promised. We had his associate Junz take our photos. He arrived early to our hotel with no issues and with enough time to scope out some good backdrops. He was also happy to be flexible and take our suggestions too. My 4 year old son was a difficult subject not really wanting to have his photo taken, and Junz did a remarkable job getting so many with him smiling and having a genuinely fun time. Thanks Iwan and Junz. I'm so happy with the family moments you captured for us and look forward to having memories of this great family holiday up around our homes. They are going to make great Mother's Day and birthday gifts!
We had such a wonderful experience with Iwan while we were in Bali for our holiday. He did an amazing job capturing our family photos, especially with our one year old. Iwan was incredibly patient and gave great direction throughout the session, which made everything feel relaxed and easy.
Iwan Photography and his team did a truly fantastic job. From start to finish, their commitment to detail left us deeply impressed. Throughout the process, they captured the fun, excitement, and love we felt, making the whole experience unforgettable. Professional, reliable, and attentive, they exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to all couples looking for top-quality wedding photography in Bali!
Iwan and his team went above and beyond to capture our wedding day and we cannot speak more highly of their efforts. We are very photo shy people and we were made to feel comfortable and engaged. Iwan and his team were extremely easy to communicate with before, during and after the day. The results were absolutely outstanding and far exceeded our expectations. We recived more than the percieved inclusions at a great price. We cannot recommend Iwan more highly.
My fiancé and I were travellers to Bali and it just so happened that we came across Iwan's Instagram before our trip. We were looking for a photographer for taking our pre-wedding photos at the time, so we gave it a shot. Iwan was very responsive and helpful from the very beginning. We proposed the vibe / scenarios we wanted for our photos and he offered good suggestions. The evening before the photoshoot, there were torrential rains and even flood around the Ubud area of Bali (which was where part of our photoshoot was going to be). Iwan quickly arranged a studio in Canggu with both indoor and outdoor areas (Moroccan style) as an alternative. The weather the next morning turned out to be wonderful and sunny, but we stayed with the studio for photoshoot (because we have already paid for it). Iwan and the team were super friendly and quickly got us into the mood for shooting. Couldn't have been more happy with the photos! 😀
I must pay compliment to the videographer too (sorry I cannot remember his name 🙁 ). He had a lot of good ideas as to how we could pose and he did a great job in making us comfortable and move more naturally. My fiancé and I absolutely LOVE how the video turned out.
Thanks again to Iwan and his team for giving us such good memories!
Iwan and his team were absolute professionals, they brought positive vibes to what started out as quite a stressful event. We were so thrilled with the rich colours, the light, angles and the brilliant mood you captured on our wedding day. Thank you so much, we LOVE the photos and video - you’re amazing!!
So much gratitude, K & A 🙏🏽
I engaged Iwan for a family photoshoot during our trip to Bali, and it was a great experience from start to finish. He was very responsive and helpful in answering all my questions leading up to the shoot. On the day itself, he brought great energy and was incredibly accommodating.
Iwan went the extra mile to capture the best moments, even suggesting a nearby beach location for beautiful sunset shots. We're really happy with how the photos turned out. Highly recommended!
We spent the whole day with Iwan and his team and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! My partner had two different looks and had support for full makeup and styling. Iwan and team were very innovative to deal with different weather conditions and forest and beach environments. Our Favorite shots include ones with some beautiful light based pyrotechnics.
The team always remained fun and cheerful and motivated us thru the entire day. We will always remember this experience and the photos and the videos will always be special to us. We highly recommend this team!
Iwan is an amazing photographer. From liaison to getting us down on the date, making me and my young family feel comfortable, his service was impeccable from the start to the end. It really wasn't easy to deal with a 3 year old and a 6 year old who really just wanted to play in the sand, but he was experienced and patient enough to bring out the best in my kids. And of course, the photos were therefore amazing. Thank you Iwan for such an unforgettable experience!
We used Iwan for our family photos when we were staying in South Kuta. He is so friendly & his photos are amazing. Our whole family loves them. When we come back to Bali we will definitely be booking him again.
Thank you so much Iwan, you are amazing & the photos were perfect!
My fiancé and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Iwan for our proposal photoshoot in Uluwatu, Bali — and we couldn't be happier with the experience!
From the very beginning, Iwan was incredibly responsive and helpful. He guided me through the best spots to shoot at our venue (which was very informative considering I was researching online from New York) and gave great suggestions to make the most of the space. During the shoot, he was fully engaged — offering thoughtful feedback to help us with positioning and layout so that every photo came out perfectly.
He even brought his own lighting equipment, which added a stunning touch to the shots as the sun went down. His friendly, professional, and enthusiastic energy made us feel at ease throughout the entire experience. He was genuinely involved in our special day, and it really showed in his work.
To top it all off, the final photos were of top quality and delivered incredibly fast. We’ll treasure them forever.
Highly recommend Iwan to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and dedicated photographer in Bali!
Grateful to have Iwan as our pre-wedding shoot photographer. Genuine, highly professional and very passionate. We really enjoyed the entire experience. Thank you!
Iwan was amazing. He was very patient (we had our two year old with us) and made sure to we were comfortable and safe at the location. The photos turned out so great and we are so thankful he has captured the most precious moments for our family that we treasure forever. We highly recommend using Iwan if you’re ever in Bali!
We had an incredible experience with Iwan! He was very prompt in answering all our questions pre-photo session and gave good advice too (eg getting the necessary approvals). He was good with kids and made them warm up fast. It truly shows in the beautiful photos we received. The session was fun and relaxed, capturing genuine smiles and moments.
Iwan was easy to communicate with , had a straight forward booking process, was lovely & patient dealing with our whole family ranging from 8months old to 70 yrs. The photos are fabulous, he captured our holiday so well- we couldn’t have been happier with the result. Thank You Iwan , would 100% recommend
Iwan was exceptional to work with.
He helped me plan a surprise proposal and was both informative and friendly in the lead up to it all. He was fun to work with on the day and guided us with poses in a way that put us at ease
But the photos were just stunning!!!!!. My entire family are grateful for the outstanding way he captured the whole event and emotion.
I can't recommend him highly enough. I think he'd be fantastic for whatever type of photography you need, not just proposal
Iwan was amazing! Super flexible in arranging a time and meeting spot. He arrived early, and even though my family was a bit awkward with our poses he made a laugh and made it a really enjoyable experience. 10/10 recommend if your coming to Bali 😊
We had a family photoshoot with Iwan at Alas Harum near Ubud, he was very professional and friendly in guiding us through the process and was very patient in coordinating the composition and made sure the whole family and each member was highlighted, the results were what we wanted, and we are very pleased. Thanks Pak Iwan !
