Everything seemed to him that they would go for a boat ride, thus saying yes, but to his pleasant surprise, Diana had invited her best lifelong friends who, without him knowing, were here in Punta Cana. and that's how it happened! After the surprise, everything concluded that they would witness Diana and John's ceremony together. In a very intimate moment, full of love and joy it happened! They said "Yes" As night fell, we found ourselves on the shores of the natural pools taking our post-wedding photo shoot. And then a wonderful dinner that I was a part of. If you're looking for a unique experience, celebrating your wedding on a boat in the Caribbean Sea, don't hesitate to do what Diana and John did.

- How to schedule your Trash the Dress photoshoot in Punta Cana
If, after your big wedding day, you're planning to have your wedding dress photoshoot under the Dominican Republic sea, here are some tips to keep in mind. It's a good idea to follow a professional photographer's advice regarding location and timing, as they'll know which lighting is best for your photos. In Punta Cana we have the sunrise at sea, but if you move further west-south of the island, the sun sets at sunset, over the Caribbean Sea. It's also good to keep in mind when there are fewer tourists on the beach to conduct a moderately intimate photo shoot. So once you've decided on the time and location, the next step is to prepare ahead of time to look fresh and with the style of those relaxed, already married couples! Believe me, you can see the happiness on their faces! Every couple has a style, even when it comes to their wedding attire. So, when doing the trash the dress photoshoot, if you're not wearing your ceremony attire, it's recommended that you both wear the same color. He should match his outfit with hers. The light tones for both look great for photos. Your wedding dress can get wet, covered in sand, and you can still enjoy it to the fullest, you won't regret it! Everything has a solution in a very good dry cleaner, even if you rinse it with plenty of water, (depending on the dress) the sand comes off very easily, buuuut...if you don't want to wear your wedding dress, the one you used for your ceremony, it's good to have a plan B, another similar dress, in the white tone you like, knowing that you can get it wet without remorse and enjoy it without guilt! About shoes...if you want you can forget about them! Makeup and hair are equally important for girls. Wearing a relaxed, natural, and soft "beach" style doesn't mean neglecting to prepare your makeup and hair for the photo shoot. Even skin, defined eyes, and a simple but natural pastel lip shade. Loose or semi-updone hair so that it doesn't get in the way of your face in a breeze is also ideal. Having a change of clothes can be creative, encouraging more photos from the session. You can have a change of "beach" clothes, also in light colors, a bikini, accessories, and a nice pair of shorts to match. Everything counts, but don't burden yourself with things. Remember that you are the protagonists. And most importantly...enjoy yourselves, the photographer will take care of the rest. I'm sharing with you the Trash the Dress photoshoot I did with this beautiful couple a few days ago on a beach in Punta Cana. Young and full of energy, we took the photos in Punta Cana-Bavaro, taking advantage of the light at its peak, at dawn. They enjoyed the sand, the sea, the sun and each other.
- Boudoir Photoshoot in Punta Cana How? and Why?
Boudoir is a French word, meaning "dressing room." When applied to photography, it means capturing the intimate side of each woman and showing it in a subtle and romantic way in every photo taken. And remind every woman that her body is beautiful and that it's wonderful to be able to capture that beautiful season of her life. Women love to give special gifts, especially to their partners. And for those women who like to add their own style to those "special gifts," there's nothing better than a boudoir photo shoot. A gift that will last for years, and every time you want to remember it, it will be something shared, something in which you made your partner your best accomplice. The photos are taken in an intimate setting with natural light, highlighting each woman's beauty with the clothing she chooses to feel sexy and confident in front of the camera. It could be a bedroom or a living room, where you want to highlight your most feminine features and, why not, photograph them. Then those photos will be printed in a mini gift album, with the finest presentation. It may be a pre-wedding gift to wow your future husband, or it may be for Valentine's Day or a birthday, but there may be no reason at all and it may just be a 'just because' gift! Any woman who plans to do it, should really do it because she wants to. That day you will feel more beautiful than ever! It's recommended, before the photo shoot, to wear good makeup to highlight your beautiful features and to create your hair so it looks wild yet disciplined at the same time...a contrast of many things. Highlight the sexy woman inside you, but at the same time intimate, delicate, subtle. You can bring your best friend to the photoshoot to break the ice, or you can join the professional photographer alone, if you prefer. Many women in Punta Cana, after having a boudoir photoshoot, are truly amazed at how capable they were under the gaze of a professional photographer. And believe me, their partners will be even more amazed and grateful for that great personalized "detail."

It's a moment worth capturing, and we're not just talking about a smartphone... They came from Chile for their engagement to Punta Cana and on a sunny morning, with the sea super calm, I was a bit of an accomplice to that magical moment.
- The Dominican Republic has more to discover! Photoshoot in Bayahibe
When you think of vacationing in the Caribbean, the first thing that comes to mind are images of beaches with white sand, turquoise sea, and palm trees full of coconuts. And it is undoubtedly one of the most taken images in our photo sessions! But the Dominican Republic has much more to offer than that, and for that reason, we decided to travel a little further to Bayahibe and its sugarcane fields for this beautiful photoshoot. During the drive from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo, the first thing the landscape shows us are the immense sugarcane plantations, one of the most picturesque landscapes of almost the entire island. With its long dirt roads that divide the tall sugarcane fields, you can see an endless horizon of beautiful greens and yellows. Its rusty and large freight train cars, deposited on the old rails, make this landscape a more rustic place. Depending on the time of year, these tones can be seen in earthy yellows during the burning of the sugarcane, and workers can be seen in the sunlight with their large machetes and ox-drawn carts. It really is a unique image! Along the roads surrounding the sugarcane fields, there are abundant Flamboyan trees, the trees that during the summer months paint everything red with their beautiful bouquet of fiery red flowers. It's all a beautiful color palette! That's where we went, with this beautiful couple . A year ago, our previous setting was a sunrise at sea. This time, we swapped the turquoise for the yellow-greens of the sugar cane and the Flamboyan paths. I share some of their photos here!
