A story that began with a wedding

Some stories begin with a wedding, and years later they return as family memories.

We first met this lovely mother in 2016, when Magda was her makeup artist on her wedding day. Emotional, sunny, filled with excitement — the beginning of a beautiful chapter.

This year, she returned to Punta Cana with her family. Two little girls and the grandmother joined this vacation, and seeing them again — now through the camera — was truly meaningful. Life has a beautiful way of reconnecting paths.

Where we photographed: next to Barceló Bávaro Palace

We met on the beach right next to the Barceló Bávaro Palace, a peaceful shoreline with turquoise water, white sand and swaying palm trees. A natural, open environment perfect for family photos.

Natural moments, no pressure

The girls played, explored, hugged their parents, ran toward the water and enjoyed the warm afternoon light.

One of the little ones arrived not fully in the mood — which is perfectly normal. Children don’t need to pose. They just need space to be themselves. Slowly, between laughter, curiosity and seashells, her smile appeared naturally.

Three generations by the sea

The grandmother held the girls, whispered stories, and shared soft smiles. Parents knelt at their daughters’ level, lifted them, hugged them and played.

Three generations together by the ocean — love, family and legacy captured in a single afternoon.

About resort photography fees in Punta Cana

In Punta Cana, many hotels all-inclusive require a vendor fee to work with external photographers inside the resort. For families who prefer to avoid that cost, there are beautiful public beaches right next to the hotels.

This session was done outdoors by the resort, with the same Caribbean light, scenery and atmosphere — free and relaxed.

A review that touched our hearts

After receiving her photos, the mother shared:

“I’ve known Magda since she was the makeup artist for my wedding in 2016, and she was absolutely wonderful then. On a recent trip back to Punta Cana with my family, I was thrilled to learn that she’s now offering photography sessions—and booking her was a no-brainer! Her communication was excellent, her pricing extremely reasonable, and the final photos exceeded all expectations. Even with two young children (one not in the mood for photos!), she managed to capture the most beautiful moments. Magda is not only talented and professional but also genuinely lovely to work with. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
