Kampung Daun, or Village of Leaves by translation, is a traditional Indonesian restaurant in Bandung. Located in the scenic hill town of Lembang (West Java, Indonesia), Kampung Daun was originally a remote tropical forest, thick with bamboo groves and plants and trees of every variety, supplied by a beautiful waterfall. The concept of Kampung Daun is based upon a real village where the locals go about their daily activities with their trademark lifestyle of humbleness, friendliness, caring and service to each other.

Kampung Daun: Bandung's magical restaurant
I haven’t been there, even though I have visited Bandung many times in my life. But this time round, I am determined to visit and enjoy the traditional Indonesian food together with the beauty of the surrounding area. I mean, look at this place, who wouldn’t want to visit…

Welcome to the beautiful village of leaves...

Look at the beauty of this place/restaurant... Wow!

Nature meets work of art...

Let's hope Kampung Daun will leave us wanting more!
Now I’m only hoping that the experience is as wonderful as the reviews! :)

I believe no other photographer has ever made me this inspired and at the same time this jealous the way Axioo does. And to know that they are a team of creative geniuses from Indonesia gives me something to be proud of when I say that I am Indonesian. As promised, after yesterday’s awesome Bali wedding venues post, I am back to present to you my favourite – as of today – pre-wedding and wedding photographer/s. Let the droolings begin…

Great pre-wedding photography makes me joyful!

Beautiful wedding venues for the Bali experience

There are many beautiful venues in which one can get married in. My sister has chosen a superb location with an outdoor wedding by the canal. However, when it comes to buildings, I believe one of the best places to get married – no matter where you’re from – is in Bali. I’ve seen many wonderful images of Bali chapel weddings, and I’ve always wondered where these places are. So of course, I searched. Here are a couple of venues worth mentioning…

Tirtha Uluwatu, set high on the cliffs of Southern Bali

The Ritz Carlton (Tresna or Astina Chapel)

Blue Moon Chapel, beautiful at any time of the day

Infinity Chapel, chic and minimalist

Mirage Chapel - naturally closest to the sea

Tirtha Luhur, romance for the wedding & first night
Most of these beautiful locations also offer the complete package, such as the one offered by Tirtha Luhur. You get more than just a wedding celebration, but you will also celebrate your first night in style and elegance…

How beautiful. Weddings in Indonesia are way too overrated though. Everything is about 100x more expensive with the word “wedding” in it. But if I was rich, I’d do one in Bali just because it will look awesome in photographs! And make sure you’ve got a good photographer too. I’ll suggest one for you in the next post…
