In a quiet marigold field in Bali, love exists in the simplest yet romantic way. When Felisa Tan and Thufeil Hadi reached out to us, they wanted their SweetEscape moments to be as natural as possible.
Nothing staged, nothing forced on the photoshoot: just honesty, comfort, the two of them surrounded by their love for nature. While they may have planned to see the marigolds at Besakih, it turns out nature has a very special surprise for them, making their SweetEscape moments even sweeter!
Check out Felisa and Thufeil’s SweetEscape story!
“I’ve always loved marigolds for their simplicity, innocence, and playfulness—yet also their resilience and deep spiritual significance across cultures, including Bali. Those qualities reflect our life values and how we nurture our bond as partners.”
“We drove up to Besakih, near the ancient and highly revered Pura Besakih, which is widely considered as Bali's Mother Temple. We’re always more drawn to spiritual atmosphere than decorative aesthetics, and that felt most aligned with us.”
“But after hours of driving up steep mountain roads, there were very few marigolds, and it was raining and cold. At least we eventually managed to find some. But the mountains had another gift for us: fog, overcast skies, and an abundance of edelweiss.”
“As a photographer myself, one of the things I love about photography as an art form is its element of surprise. We can plan all we want, but in the end, we have to let the moment co-create with us.”
“Marigolds and edelweiss — two flowers symbolizing resilience in different ways—felt like the perfect reflection of our journey and spirit. If I were to give this collection a title, it would be Resilient Bloom.”
“SweetEscape was a convenient choice for our casual, no-makeup, no-styling shoot. It was also very easy to arrange, especially for a location like Besakih, which can be relatively challenging to reach. Our photographer was incredibly warm and intuitive. He understood our preference for natural, unposed moments and blended seamlessly with our energy!”
