Veli Yanto

We were very fortunate to have Veli shoot our wedding on September 30, 2017. From our first meeting with Veli in April of 2016, we knew he was going to be a wonderful photographer and person to be with us on our wedding day. He was so friendly, polite, very professional and we were so impressed with his portfolio. He really listened to what we wanted and we felt comfortable and confident in him immediately. On our wedding day, Veli was absolutely amazing. He was so lovely to be around and his creativity, confidence, talent and passion for his work stood out to us. We could not imagine a better photographer for us than him. He was always polite, kind and so easy to work with. He was so skilled at sneaking the perfect candid shots, we sometimes we did not even notice he was there! He shot every picture with purpose and never let a moment slip past without capturing it. Veli is very artistic, which attracted us to him originally, and we are so thrilled that our wedding photos go way beyond 'the usual' wedding pictures, and have received many compliments from our friends and families about how gorgeous and creative they are. Every moment captured beautifully, both when we were were aware and unaware that Veli was shooting away. Posed and unposed, Veli captures both perfectly, you simply can't ask for more. A perfect example of Veli's creativity and dedication to capturing special moments happened during the reception. It started to rain and Veli asked if we would like to have some photos down at the beach. We trusted in his creative nature and agreed to go and he handed us an umbrella and some lanterns before we quickly made our way down the dark driveway. On the beach, we got our first look at our stunning wedding reception from afar, which was an incredible moment for us. Then Veli set us up and took lots of photos and it was it clear he knew exactly what his aim was and could see something beautiful. Although we had no idea what he could see, we absolutely trusted him and enjoyed this exciting experience. We felt that Veli went above and beyond to capture those pictures for us and we were astounded by his creativity. Our wedding day is over and what we are left with are the precious memories captured by Veli on our big day. Whenever we look at his pictures, we feel so happy in our decision to have him and we absolutely LOVE our photos. They are absolutely beautiful and capture US, as we are, and that is so special. His editing skills are really outstanding and having both the original shots (which are already amazing!) and the edited versions, we can really appreciate how much work he puts into making sure every single photo is just perfect. Receiving a stunning package in the mail from Veli, a timeless wooden box with our names and our wedding date carved into it, and our photos and a matching usb inside, was just the icing on the cake! Wow, wow, WOW. We cannot recommend Veli highly enough and we will be forever grateful to him for giving us these memories. Thank you Veli.

Veli is one of the most talented photographers as seen from the weddings photos that he took for us on 21 June 2015 in Bali at The Istana. He is extremely professional, creative and knows exactly the angle and backgrounds to take great photographs. The final pictures were stunning and so beautiful, and people who viewed them were all very impressed. My husband and I are very grateful to have Veli with us on our wedding day and we look forward to shooting with him next time when we visit Bali with our kids :).

Veli was our wedding photographer back in 2015 (review below) and he was (is) the best photographer - extremely talented, passionate and superbly creative. The moment covid lock down was over my husband and I travelled back to Bali and Veli helped us capture another couple photoshoot in our hotel in Amankila - fantastically executed as usual. We are so excited to bring our 2 kids to Bali next week and planned to have Veli take our family photoshoot! In conclusion: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone who wants photos taken from the heart <3. Thank you Veli and his awesome team! So grateful to have you witness our love story since 2015. Please continue to do what you are good at!!

Now that the party is over, I'm only left with my memories which I will treasure forever and with the pictures. I could not be happier of choosing Veli for such an important task. Our wedding was great and I will always remember it thanks to the remarkable job you did. Thank you so much for capturing every small detail that reflects our happiness and love. I have the best wedding pictures ever and it all thanks to you!

We could not be more satisfied with our choice to have our pre wed photo's with Veli photography. The results were fantastic, and the experience exceeded our expectations as a fun and professional day. Veli is approachable and friendly and took the time to really get to know us as a couple. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera which allowed for impressive results. Veli's passion for photography was really obvious through countless efforts to get an amazing shot, and his knowledge of bali allowed for beautiful and unique settings for our photographs. We would strongly recommend Veli photography.

His style and passion for getting the best shots under different lighting situations and environment is superb. There was not one minute during the photo shoot that I didn't feel him enjoying the session more than me. Due to this he's able to create images that is unconventional yet meaningful to us. Thank you Veli for the great experience and memories!
