Taking prewedding photos at a lake which is quite famous in Bali might be an alternative for those of you who want a prewedding location with a traditional Balinese feel.
Balinese traditional nuances are still a favorite for many couples who want to take prewedding photos, and quite a few even modify them to contemporary styles, but this does not eliminate the special features of Balinese traditions.
The use of this traditional Balinese concept can be done in any location, whether indoor or outdoor. However, it would be more interesting if the concept was carried out in a location that has a strong Balinese feel.
And one of the recommended locations from Bali photographers is Lake Beratan Bedugul, Bali. This location is a typical Balinese tourist spot which is very famous among tourists.
Quoting from the Wikipedia page, Lake Beratan is a lake located in the Bedugul area, Candikuning Village, Baturiti District, Tabanan Regency, Bali.
The lake that is located in the most easterly of the two other lakes, namely Tamblingan Lake and Buyan Lake, which are a group of twin lakes in a large caldera, Bratan Lake is quite special.
Being on the provincial road that connects Denpasar and Singaraja and its location close to the Eka Karya Botanical Gardens makes this place one of the main tourist attractions on the island of Bali.
Besides being easy to reach, Lake Bratan also provides a variety of charms and adequate accommodation, so it is very suitable for activities such as prewedding.
In the middle of the lake there is a temple, namely Ulun Danu Temple, which is a place of worship for Sang Hyang Dewi Danu as the giver of fertility.
This place is one of the most mystical places in Bali, but it is still interesting for you to visit.
