About Dwiko Arie
Destination Wedding Photographer for Indian and International Weddings
My journey as a wedding photographer began in London, where I was first introduced to the beauty, complexity, and emotion of multicultural weddings. That experience shaped the way I see wedding photography today, not only as a collection of beautiful portraits, but as a complete story of family, culture, tradition, and connection.
Now based in Indonesia, I photograph weddings in Bali, Jakarta, and destination locations across Asia. Bali remains one of my favourite places to work because of its natural beauty, warm atmosphere, luxury wedding venues, and rich cultural energy.
My photography style is documentary, natural, and emotionally driven. I focus on real moments as they happen, the nervous smiles before the ceremony, the quiet family gestures, the laughter during speeches, the energy of the Baraat, the emotion of the vows, and the atmosphere of the celebration.
I guide when needed, especially for portraits and family photos, but I never want the wedding to feel overly staged. My goal is to create images that feel honest, timeless, and deeply connected to your story.
Destination wedding expert.
Destination weddings require more than beautiful photography. They require planning, timing, cultural awareness, flexibility, and the ability to collaborate with couples, families, planners, venues, decorators, makeup artists, and videographers.
Over the years, I have photographed weddings in Indonesia and internationally, including celebrations in Cyprus, India, Thailand, Kenya, Greece, Spain, and Italy. This experience helps me understand how to document each wedding naturally while respecting the rhythm, rituals, and emotions of the day.
The importance of family.
Outside of photography, I am a husband and father. My wife, Sheila, and my children, Jaxen and Jacob, are a big part of who I am. Being a family man has shaped the way I photograph weddings. I understand that a wedding is not only about the couple, but also about parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives, and the people who have shaped your life.
Because of this, I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year. This allows me to give each couple my full attention, from the first conversation to the final gallery.
If you seek an experienced professional with a laid-back and polite approach for your wedding, don't hesitate to drop me a message. Let's have a chat, and if our connection is genuine in our initial meeting, I won't just be your wedding photographer but a friend for life!
