Mikki & Ecckle

08 Jan Wedding / Photographed by Chelsea Gray / Nusa Lembongan Island, Bali, Indonesia / December 2010 This season we shot 54 weddings and countless engagement sessions so I was absolutely exhausted come mid November. It was time to run away, and very far! My friend Victoria and I headed to Japan for a week, getting lost in translation at amusement centers, Gundam cafés, and love hotels. Japan was mind-blowingly insane, and we highly recommend at least a good week and a Japan Rail Pass to fully experience a few great destinations. Next up was Bangkok where we stayed at my favourite zen accommodation and indulged in mangoes with sticky rice for 2 nights. After Bangkok we hit up Bali for the next 3 weeks and seriously got our "relaxation on"... One day, when we weren't floating around in infinity pools or hanging out with monkeys, I was walking around in the tiniest little island called Lembongan and came across a bunch of people setting up an event. I was so excited, this looked like a wedding! Next thing you know, I was invited by a random dude named JUMBO (it was his brother's wedding) for the next day's wedding. I felt at home among the island's community, (as given the scale of this teeny island, I had already met a good few of the guests already as my scooter taxi drivers or restaurant servers)...This wedding was so exhilarating for me to shoot- and I am so blessed that Jumbo invited me along.
