The route
The villa version begins about forty minutes before sunset. We start indoors while the light through the shutters is still warm — the two of you on the daybed, coffee on the terrace, details of the room — then move to the pool edge as the sky colours, and walk down to the sand for the last frames. The Sekotong version is a morning: we meet at the jetty around 7, cross to a tiny islet such as Gili Kedis, and shoot while the sandbar is still empty and the water around it is clear enough to show the coral from above. Snorkelling gear in the frame is welcome. The boat back is timed so you are home before the heat. Want flowing fabric on the sandbar? The flying-dress rental ($120) works well here.
