Dominican Republic Destination Wedding Photography

destination wedding photography Dominican Republic - destination wedding photographer in Dominican Republic

A wedding in Dominican Republic means endless sun, diamond-white sandy beaches and glorious blue skies. We'll work together to create photographs that show the love you have for each other and those closest to you. My Dominican Republic wedding photography packages include photographing your entire day from the pampering during your preparations through to the evening celebrations.

I know from experience the kind of planning and decision-making you are probably going through to find the perfect wedding photographer for your destination wedding. You're welcome to contact me either by phone or email for more information on my Dominican Republic destination wedding photography packages. I'd love to hear from you and discuss your plans with a no-pressure phone or email consultation.

How does it work?

My approach is a blend of photojournalism and creative/relaxed portraiture. I love hearing from people that they forgot I was even there.

During your preparations and ceremony, I take on the role of a photojournalist, documenting things as they happen... capturing natural expressions and emotions and telling the true story of your day. After the ceremony, bring your sense of adventure as well as your sense of humour and we'll have a blast during an informal creative portrait session. If your family will be at your wedding and you want some relaxed group portraits, no problem. We can also build this into our time together. When the reception starts I'll return to my documentary style and capture everything unobtrusively. My approach is about story-telling and I complete each package with a beautiful storybook coffee table album, just like the ones you see in bookstores.

Please feel free to browse my wedding photography gallery to see more of my work.
