Dominican Republic Destination Wedding Photography – Ryan & Julie

A couple of weeks ago we had the great honor of going to the Dominican Republic to photograph Ryan & Julie’s destination wedding. Their beautiful wedding was held at the Dreams Resort - La Romana. Not only did we get to photograph their wedding but we also got to spend an afternoon photographing their “Day After” Session on the beach & at Altos de Chavon, which is insanely beautiful. We had a blast! As you can see from the images below, these two looked great & were up for anything! Enjoy a few of our favorites below & click here to register to view the images when they are released.

Pretty sure I could work here everyday & be completely happy

Ryan & Julie, thanks for letting us have fun with you! Hope you had a blast in Jamaica on your honeymoon!
