Trip          : Jan 2013

“Let’s meet the energetic couple, Eric and Lovesia. If you listen to their love story and moments, how they feel and how they meet, you will agree that they are so made for each other. We had a great time shooting their pre-wedding. Lovesia is cute and she knows what she wants and always ready to shoot. Eric is camera shy and initially worried about the shooting. But we did the trick and got him ready for all this. Enjoy the pictures we shoot in Surabaya and Bali.- Photographed by Mahkota Indah ”

Activity     : Pre-Wedding Photo Trip
Location    : Bali
Trip           : Jan 2013

“Months ago we were introduced to Tagor and Junita who chose Bali for their pre-wedding photo shoot destination. They requested us for stay out of the usual Bali landmarks and we roam around any random places that we can have fun. Later we discovered they are interesting couple. We had so much fun during the photo shooting, especially on part when we were recreating their sweet moments in the white sandy beach. Talking about everything under beautiful sky, it seems that it has brought them back to the memoir when they first fell in love with each other. Tagor and Junita, stay sweet and have fun preparing your wedding. Thank you for trust Arkhipelagos all the way. – Photographed by Mahkota Indah”

Activity    : Pre-Wedding Photo Trip
Location   : East Java
Trip          : March 2012

“Jerry and Evi are adventurous couple. When they asked us to arrange their pre-wedding photo shoot as well as their holiday in a destination that different from Bali, we’re in! We offered them to have their holiday in East Java. We’ve been waiting to shoot them ever since we first met to chat about their pre-wedding ideas.

On the day itself, though the photographer just met them that day, we clicked and chatted like old friends. The photo shoot itself taken from early morning, but we still have so much fun with it. Unforgettable on how we had run around in the horse ranch while Jerry and Evi were really practising riding the horse. Good thing that the horses behave and didn’t kick our butt. What a trip in East Java! We got all wet & yet so happy. Thanks to Jerry and Evi for trusting Arkhipelagos all the way.- Photographed by Mahkota Indah”

Scuba Kids

Posted in: Photoblog, Sports & Adventure by admin on November 1, 2012

Activity    : Snorkeling, Scuba Diving, Beach
Location   : Thousand Island, Jakarta
Trip          : June 2012

“Thought scuba diving was only for Adults? Well, you don’t have to be an adult to experience underwater. Sign up, gear up and take on a new dimension about marine life and coral reef. Scuba Diving is really a safe, easy and fun sport that should be enjoyed by the whole family especially children nowadays. They don’t have to be super swimmers but should be comfortable in the water. That way works. This is how Santa Laurentia Jakarta Junior High School Students did to experience fantastic way to interact with marine life from learning scuba dive. We brought them learn new skills, gain confidence, experience fun scuba with the maximum depth in 6 feet and have interactive program through hawks-bill turtle conservation. Their underwater adventure begins with Arkhipelagos. – Photographed by Steven Lianel”

Scuba Duba Doo, Baby

Posted in: Photoblog, Sports & Adventure by admin on October 1, 2012

Activity     : Snorkelling, Scuba Diving
Location   : Thousand Islands
Trip          : August 2012

“Did you know that Indonesia has been hailed as the world’s best scuba diving destination with over 13,000 islands? It would probably take a lifetime to explore each one. That’s what made Desmond, Wee Yang and Bao Lin stash themselves away in a private island in Jakarta to learn scuba diving for its crystal clear waters, rich corals, and the bio-diverse marine.

Desmond, Wee Yang and Bao Lin are definitely awesome souls. With their zero experience joining this kind a trip before, they got super excited and dare for their first ever Discovery Scuba Dive trip. So far this has got to be the most enjoyable trip of the year we arranged, collaborate with Trisakti Tourism Diving Club Jakarta. Every session was so relaxed and hilarious. Heaven on earth! What else can we ask for? – Photographed by Hiu Danny Lim”

Awesomeness Does Come In Simple Way

Posted in: Photoblog, Sports & Adventure by admin on September 1, 2012

Activity     : Paragliding, Flora & Fauna
Location   : Puncak, Bogor
Trip          : August 2012

“One of the reasons Arkhipelagos love arranging customised trip specially designed for small group, is we able together enjoy the countless adventure and to get to know the clients more, as well as the story about their family and friends. We feel so blessed whenever we could capture happy moments of our client’s holiday and let their friends witness the adventure through the pictures we documented.

This series is talk about Desmond, Wee yang and Bao Lin. We know their friends (Janis, Eujean and Cedric) way before. Janis, Eujean and Cedric went to Safari and did Paragliding 2 years back. And now it is Desmond, Wee Yang and Baoling turn.  There’s so much to tell about them and we totally (heart) bringing them around. The really love being wacky, no pretence, and went all out to have fun even when they were about to touch down back in Singapore. Excited, hilarious and nervous in the same time were all about minutes before they flew at 10,000 feet above ground. But after the Tandem Master signal them to run and fly off from the hills, instantly they hit by the thrilling sensation of free flying like a bird and gliding weightlessly in the air.

Enjoy their photos in Puncak (Mountain Resort). And again apologise for the photos in this post are blurry. It is because our heart was thumping as we laughed so much and struggled to hold the camera (Hee, Excuses!). – Photographed by Dian Jelita”

Activity     : Historical Place, Culinary
Location    : Jakarta
Trip           : May 2012

“Here’s a series of photos taken in Jakarta for 16 hours before Desmond, Wee Yang and Bao Lin stash themselves away in a private island for their first ever Discovery Scuba Dive Trip. Three things that they love to experience in this Metropolitan City: The adventure, the humbling and the delicious. All they wanted were more local tours and variety of local foods.

With new friends, they had so much fun exploring the city with local bus and motorbike. They chatted all day talking about food and comparing each food they ordered. We noticed the three kept melting during their day tour to Bank Museum and Fatahillah Square. They CAN’T stand the heat, but they CAN stand the local hot food! Hey-ho! We couldn’t believe to find a fellow foodie as crazy as them. They got us amaze especially when the three happily clearing the super hot chilli for Bakso (Meat Ball Soup). Very cool!

Enjoy their series of Jakarta City Tour photos and apologise for some blurry because we struggled to hold the camera while we had so much laugh and shaking like how they shaking Jakarta. Hee! – Photographed by Desmond Cheng & Neo Wee Yang”
