A tropical Wedding in the Dominican Republic

One thing I truly miss from when I was actively documenting weddings was when I had the opportunity to work in Punta Cana quite often, it was sooooo much fun and stress free, the scenery always made work very easy and then it was the Venues and planners I got to work with!! ughhh I truly miss them, if you come across this blog post while planning for a destination wedding in Punta Cana, pleeeeease consider an outside venue instead of a resort wedding, there are a couple which I've shot at and you can find through my blog. Stephanie + Manny's wedding was held at Kukua Beach Club, providing an open indoor space for reception and bridal suite, poolside dance floor and private beach properties, this venue is absolutely amazing and highly recommended! I hope to one day make my way back to the island to photograph more awesome couples!
