Here’s the thing: I haven’t stepped foot in Bali yet — but trust me, I’ve already fallen in love with half the island. When you’re a photographer who sees the world through light and backdrops, you don’t need a plane ticket to start imagining where the magic happens.
And Bali?
It’s basically the Beyoncé of wedding destinations: iconic, stunning from every angle, and always serving drama.
So here’s my curated list of Bali wedding venues I’ve researched, bookmarked, obsessed over, and ranked based on what truly matters for photos: light, architecture, energy, and that slow-breath “this is paradise” feeling.
Let’s get into it before I book a flight out of pure temptation.
The Ungasan Clifftop Resort (Uluwatu)
Keywords: Uluwatu wedding, Bali cliff wedding
If “main character energy” were a venue, this is it.
Dramatic clifftops, clean lines, ocean horizon as far as the eye can see.
Photographer-approved features:
- Golden hour hits the cliffs like a spotlight
- Minimalist architecture = editorial shots for days
- Perfect for modern, stylish couples who want a luxurious but natural vibe
Why I’m obsessed:
You literally get married above the ocean. Say less.
Villa Plenilunio (Uluwatu)
A mix of Balinese charm + European elegance. Think: arches, columns, textured walls — all begging for film photography.
Why it works for weddings:
- Soft white tones = flawless skin tones
- Gorgeous indoor/outdoor flow
- Space for big families or intimate gatherings
Alila Villas Uluwatu
This venue feels like someone designed it just to make editorial photographers cry tears of joy.
Highlights:
- Floating platform ceremony spot
- Iconic geometric architecture
- Insane sunsets
This one leans very “architectural editorial,” perfect for couples who want that luxury-magazine aesthetic.
The Kayon Jungle Resort (Ubud)
If Uluwatu is drama, Ubud is romance.
Think:
- Lush tropical jungle
- Three-tier infinity pools
- Misty mornings
It’s giving soft, intimate, emotional, film-ready.
Jungle weddings are unreal because the greens bounce such flattering light.
Tirtha Uluwatu
A glass chapel overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Enough said.
Perfect for:
- Traditional ceremonies
- Couples who want a striking architectural frame
- Indoor AC (listen… it matters)
If you’re dreaming of a Bali wedding, save this list — I’ll be photographing on the island soon enough (manifesting energy activated).
And if you want photography that feels modern, nostalgic, and deeply personal, reach out. I’d love to capture your story — whether it’s in Ottawa, Montreal, Jakarta, or halfway up a cliff in Bali.
