Into the mind of Gabriel Mendes

My last wedding of 2008 was graced by Hann & Joseph in beautiful Bali. They were married high up on a cliff side chapel in Southern Bali overlooking the Indian Ocean. This venue was superb for a few reasons: the view and the exceptional privacy of the location. Hann and Joseph are the couple that I adore. They are so relax and unassuming, making my job so much easier.

The two-day fete started on Friday, when guests checked into their villas. By day, everyone had plenty to do, such as exploring the Tanah Lot sunset or enjoying relaxing spa massages by the beaches. On Saturday morning, the group headed to Uluwatu for the church ceremony at the gorgeous Tirtha Uluwatu Chapel, facing the Indian Ocean.

The reception was held at the Breeze Restaurant with the the most gorgeous view of sunset in Bali. Editing these pictures over the last few days has made it hard to resist to book next plane to Bali, I’ll be back very soon!

Joseph and Hann - Your pictures broke through the last threads of realism we have been holding on to for this wedding. Thank you for capturing these surreal and magical moments for us to look back on many years down the road. And *quote bel*, when our “ding dangs/dongs are hanging on the floor”, we will remember this day fondly with misty eyes while looking through these beautiful pictures. No other photographer would have captured our moments better than you. Thanks for sharing your gift with us, Gabriel. We still cannot believe that everything went so beautifully, inpossibly, magically, blessedly well… We cannot ask for more. Sigh…
