My Bali Photography Reviews

review thumb

Wowwww the shoot with Donni and the end result was amazing! We came to Bali for a delayed honeymoon after our destination wedding. Unfortunately, it rained during our wedding, so those photos just did not turn out great. In addition our original photographer did not give much direction or cues. We found Donni on Local Lens, put in a request, and crossed our fingers that Donni was available! The experience with Donni was amazing! Beautiful sunny day, and we were given cues, directions, and had a wonderful experience. We agreed to do a waterfall shoot and everything came out great! 10/10 highly recommend! -Ethan

When you are traveling over 19,510 km from the Caribbean to Bali Indonesia as a solo traveler – it is very daunting to find someone who will understand and work with a novice like me to fulfill a lifelong dream “Ballie in Bali” - yes, my name is Ballie.

Found Donni on the Local Lens website and was very impressed with his detailed introduction of himself and Bali on this site.

He absolutely exceeded my expectations! from the very beginning many months before the trip he found the time to chat with someone who had a 12-hour time difference to his country.

He wowed me from the start - he was incredibly accommodating, and he responded to my many many questions over the next few months and made me feel very comfortable in understanding the locations and what can be achieved in the photoshoot.

We discussed my vision for the shoot beforehand, and he was happy to work with my ideas and suggest additional locations or poses.

As soon as I landed in Bali he contacted me – he is fantastic at following up and keeping in touch with me prior to the shoot making me very comfortable at fulfilling this dream of mine “Ballie in Bali”.

On the day of the shoot, punctuality was definitely not an issue. Throughout the shoot, Donni maintained a professional demeanor, yet also managed to be incredibly friendly and approachable.

I especially appreciated his guidance throughout the session. He offered helpful tips on posing and angles, which really made a difference in the final photos.

Overall, working with Donni was a fantastic experience.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and friendly photographer who will leave a lasting experience and give you incredible memories.

Thank you Donni for making this dream come true. -Rohini

I booked Donni to help with a proposal photoshoot in Ubud, Bali and he went above and beyond expectations. He's a very talented photographer who thoroughly planned out the shoot and captured some great photos of myself and my fiancee. I would highly recommend him for anyone in need of a professional photographer. -Luke

Very good shooting experience. Donnie is quite experienced in finding the best picture and giving directions. He offered his best to fulfill our wishes without complaint, like he was doing for friends not customers. Donnie is also skilled in using Pocket and flying drones, which enabled him to take great videos for us, too. Destination photography with Donnie will help make memories that last for a lifetime. -Junqing

My dream was to propose to my girlfriend somewhere in a beautiful place, so I chose Bali. I then had the idea to search for a photographer to capture this moment for us.

When I found Local Lens, there were many photographers in Bali, and it was very hard to choose. But finally, I found Donni, and he turned out to be the perfect choice. He suggested the most beautiful places for the proposal. That morning was very emotional for me, but Donni managed to keep it as calm as possible with his positive vibes.

I want to say a huge thanks to him, for his professionalism, help during a photoshoot, and of course, great pictures. My girlfriend and I are very happy about the results. I would recommend him a 100%. -Gintautas

We were on holiday, and I wanted to make a surprise proposal for my now fiance. Donni went above and beyond all expectations to help create a perfect proposal with lasting memories. His attention to detail and extraordinary pre-planning helped make this a seamless proposal. Donni offered great suggestions on possible shoot locations and was able to thoroughly answer all questions that raced through my mind.

We ended up having our photoshoot/proposal at the Tegenungan Waterfall, and Donni helped set up an itinerary that ensured we were one of the first people there with practically the whole place to ourselves. It created a very intimate environment that we will always cherish.

I highly recommend booking Donni for any shoots that you may have in mind. He is sure to deliver. We fell in love with the photos that he took and will book with Donni again in the future. -Alex

Donni was absolutely incredible. I'm unable to express in words the amazing work he did for our marriage proposal. He was discrete but went above and beyond once I set me knee on the ground and pulled out the ring. The photos he took will rest in our home and hearts forever. He captured the moment like an absolute pro.

If the above wasn't straightforward enough, I'll say it loud and clear: I reccommend Donni 100%. He will get the job done no matter how high your expectations might be. Thanks a lot Donni, we are forever grateful! -Inigo & Lydia

Donni did a fantastic job with the photoshoot! I couldn't have hired a better person for the job. He knows the area very well and was helpful in coming up with creative shots that were easy to pose in as well! And overall he was a fun guy to be around and easy to work with! Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. He loves what he does clearly, and it shows. I recommend hiring Donni if you are coming to Bali and want to capture unforgettable views of the landscape that Bali, Indonesia has to offer. -Garrett

Ne-am făcut luna de miere în Bali și am vrut să avem câteva amintiri de neuitat. Donni a reușit să ne cucerească din prima cu portofoliul lui dar atunci când l-am cunoscut a fost mult peste așteptări. Am lăsat aici un dintre capodoperele lui Donni. Aș recomanda oricui o astfel de experiență și evident ca l-aș recomanda pe Donni pentru cele mei frumoase fotografii pe care le puteți avea. -Diana

Donni was absolutely incredible in capturing my surprise wedding proposal. His expertise and creative vision were evident from the start. He offered thoughtful suggestions that made each shot feel both natural and extraordinary. His communication was seamless, making it easy to coordinate, even with the last-minute changes I threw his way. Donni was able to adapt quickly, putting everyone at ease, and ensuring every moment was captured beautifully. The quality of his work is outstanding—each photo reflects his skill and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a talented and reliable photographer who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Donni! -Niket
