Sangeh Monkey Forest offers a unique setting for pre-wedding photography in Bali. Many couples hesitate at first, worried about the monkeys, but there is no need to be afraid. The monkeys here are well-behaved and used to visitors, so they rarely disturb photo sessions. This makes the location safe and enjoyable for couples who want something different.

The forest itself provides more than just the presence of monkeys. Towering nutmeg trees create a dramatic backdrop, while the old Balinese temple within the forest adds a touch of culture and heritage to the photos. Couples can enjoy a mix of natural beauty and traditional charm, giving their gallery more depth and variety.

Although Sangeh Monkey Forest may not be our top favorite pre-wedding spot, it is one of the most convenient choices if you plan to shoot between 2 and 3 PM. At this time of day, most Bali locations suffer from harsh sunlight, which is every photographer’s challenge. However, the dense canopy of trees in Sangeh provides soft, filtered light, making it one of the few locations in Bali suitable for midday photography.

For couples looking for convenience, culture, and natural beauty, Sangeh Monkey Forest is a reliable choice, especially during the hours when the sunlight is strongest.
