Some couples know exactly what they want. No seating chart. No cocktail hour. No 200 people watching them try not to cry. Just the two of them, a celebrant, and one of the most beautiful jungle resorts on Earth.
That was Chris and Lucy. And this is their elopement wedding video at Alila Ubud, Bali.
What Is an Elopement Wedding in 2026?
The meaning has shifted. An elopement wedding is no longer about running away in secret — it’s about choosing presence over performance. Just you, your person, and a setting that takes your breath away. No audience. No schedule. No compromises.
In Bali, that choice has never looked more beautiful. The island offers everything from clifftop villas to jungle resorts built for exactly this kind of intimacy. Alila Ubud — perched above the Ayung River gorge with the jungle pressing in on all sides — is, in my opinion, one of the finest intimate wedding venues in the world.
About This Elopement Wedding Film
Chris and Lucy’s film leans dark, moody, and cinematic — which felt exactly right for a couple who chose substance over spectacle. If you’re curious about the style behind the lens, our Bali wedding videography guide explains every approach we take, from audio setup to same-day edits.
This was one of many intimate Ubud stories we’ve been trusted to tell. See also our work at Kamandalu Ubud, a rainy ceremony at Padma Ubud, and a sunset reception at The Laguna Resort.
If you’re planning something equally stripped-back and real — in Canggu, perhaps, like our recent intimate wedding at Maja Canggu — we’d love to be part of it. Micro-weddings, symbolic ceremonies, elopements on a cliff at golden hour: this is the work we love most.
