I can’t say anything, I didn’t come across it. I know a young couple who live in the Dominican Republic and are engaged in private excursions. Write to them, I think they will tell you [email protected]

And in your profile it says that you are an expert on the Dominican Republic. The cost of the flight makes the Dominican Republic quite an expensive holiday destination, so there are very few of our tourists who have already been there. Especially with a wedding theme. And in the agencies there are practically no managers who have seen what they are selling. If you are from Ukraine, then write a letter through my profile. We can help.

Rested with my husband and child in February 2007. Bavara Princess Hotel 5 *. Wedding ceremonies were almost every day. For this, everything in the hotel is provided not only for the newlyweds, but also for their guests. In our hotel it was like this: on the left side of the beach there is a beautiful gazebo with white pillars overlooking the blue the ocean, where the wedding took place, from the side everything looked solemnly the bride, all in white dresses, the grooms in suits. Then the waiters served in white gloves with a glass of champagne.

Candles are burning around the gazebo on palm branches stuck in the sand. Everything happens quite quickly for 30-40 minutes, then the newlyweds are taken to the most beautiful places in the hotel for a photo session, but most of the photos are taken on the beach against the backdrop of the ocean, they take off their shoes and do everything they say their photographer is not paying attention to vacationers in swimsuits. Then a banquet in any restaurant of the hotel, or right on the beach, tables are set in a special place, fenced off from vacationers with palm leaves.

Everything is fine, but only Catholics from America got married, I don’t know anything about an Orthodox wedding, probably, if I really need it, I’ll try to find the email of our guide who married a Dominican and lives there permanently.

Good afternoon. I know that these hotels definitely hold a wedding ceremony: Gran Bahia Principe 5 * and Majestic Colonial Punta Cana (5 *****) for an additional fee, but at the Ocean Blue, Sand, Golf & Beach Resort 5 * get a free wedding package if you book 7 nights in the Ocean Elite Club Junior Suite* or 7 rooms for you and your guests for 4 nights.

Hi, to everyone who is interested in the topic "wedding photo shoot in the Dominican Republic", I would like to recommend the Dominican company fdstudio.org, which will help you organize both an official and a symbolic ceremony in the Dominican Republic. Only professional, Russian photographers work. If you are interested in a 10% discount, just say that you are from Janina.

For a very long time and scrupulously I chose a photographer in the Dominican Republic. I wanted something fabulous and unusual (like any bride, however). I chose fdstudio only because other photographers did not have access to such a beautiful place as Caleton beach. This is real paradise!!! Agreed and booked a day and a photographer. On the appointed day, we met at the hotel reception and hit the road! Photographer Liza left a negative impression, a languid voice, red cracked eyes (apparently someone had a sleepless night) and not an ounce of optimism, I didn’t feel like anything anymore, but I pulled myself together and tried to calm down. For the entire shooting, this photographer did not show himself. Then you are taken to the hotel and you are waiting for a photo. Given that you pay at least $ 500 for shooting, they give you a disk where your photo weighs a maximum of 3 MB, which pretty much spoils the quality and makes it impossible to correct it further, in general, safely thrown away money and one disappointment. I will also say that there is no approach, no professionalism, just stamping and streamlined people. Contact better local guys, it's cheaper and better!!!

Good afternoon, dear Markin2!
It was with great dismay that I stumbled upon your comment here. I'm sorry that you had such an unpleasant impression of photography. And since this is the first negative review of my work, I would like to comment on it with your permission.
For me, it is especially strange in your review that the phrase about "languid voice, red cracked eyes (apparently someone had a sleepless night)" sounds. Have you ever wondered what kind of schedule we exist here? How we work 4-5 hours a day under the scorching sun, and when we return home, we sit down at computers and process photo shoots. And we spend at least 4 more hours in front of computers.. And as a result, you know, "we get a little tired." And our eyes get tired too. And sometimes it is very difficult for us, photographers, to speak in an uninterrupted cheerful voice when you slept for 4 hours in order to manage to process the photo shoot in time and transfer it to tourists before they leave.

And there is not much of our fault here. It's just life. We sleep little, work a lot, and especially in the high season. And the fact that some people have poor eyesight and wear lenses and their eyes turn red from severe overwork, I hope you also heard? .. Because I just have poor eyesight and my eyes often turn red from lenses.
I would also like to understand what your phrase means "this photographer did not show himself for the entire shooting." What made you so upset? A photo session is always and only always a joint work of a photographer and a model. And nothing else. Either you participate in the process or not. Because beautiful shots are obtained not from a miracle and a photographer, but from how exactly you try in the frame for the sake of the result.

As for your words "there is no approach, no professionalism, just stamping and people put on stream." Let's go in order: You have contacted a company that provides photo shoot services on Caleton Beach. You haven't hired an individual photographer, whose photos you like, whose shooting style suits you, whose price policy, in the end, suits you. You, roughly speaking, came to McDonald's for lunch. And you got a quality meal. If you want a super-hyper-personal touch during your photo session, then you need to look for a freelance photographer.
Photographers at FDstudio shoot an average of two photo shoots a day, and in high season it is often lucky if they have at least one day off a week. This is streaming shooting and you should not have any illusions here that your personal shooting will be unique and unrepeatable in every frame. The trick is that the level of our photo shoots is many times different from many photographers working here on the market. And our work is an example. Ok my work. I will speak for myself.

Your words "It's better to contact local guys, it's cheaper and better!!! And most importantly, don't be afraid to communicate, even if not in Russian!!!" sounds weird to say the least. Do you even know the "local guys" and are familiar with their work?? They are mostly Haitians, Dominicans and Argentines who work at hotels and have little idea of ​​what photography is. Most of them work on old cameras, with low-quality lenses, and almost all of them do not understand anything about photo processing.
In no way do I want to justify myself to you and other readers here. I have been working as a photographer for more than 10 years and it seems to me that my work speaks for itself.
Therefore, welcome to my page in contact, where you yourself can see my works in the "portfolio" album and understand how strange and unreasonable this review is:

All the best to you, I hope that in your life there will be as few disappointments as possible and as much beauty as possible!
Sincerely, Elizaveta Braginskaya.

Here is our review of the SapSan wedding company represented by Alexandra Ramis. Everyone wrote point by point, nothing is exaggerated, everything is as it is:
1. Inappropriately organized morning meeting with the organizers of the wedding. Why were we not warned that from our hotel, without prior agreement with the administrator at the reception, it is simply impossible to leave it outside. As a result, we were forced to explain to the guard where and why we needed to go for half an hour. This situation spoiled our mood from the very morning.
2. Hairstyle and make-up. Unprofessional, in a hurry, the hairstyle upset me very much, my wishes were not taken into account.
3. Sand for the ceremony was bought just before our departure and was yellow, not white, as agreed.
4. Having left for the port, I asked about a table for the ceremony, it turned out that he had been forgotten. Upon returning to the table, it was not the one that was originally agreed upon (blue in the color of the design), but the old rusty one, which was called "vintage".

5. Upon arrival at the island of Saona, we did not find the basic facilities for changing clothes. We had to change clothes behind the toilet.
6. Having spent the whole day in the exhausting heat, there was no food, except for a few fruits and water. Fruit is not lunch. Although by prior arrangement it was said that there would be lunch!
7. Forgotten certificate for painting!
8. Champagne was not the same as promised earlier, the glasses were also different.
9. "Designer's bridal bouquet" was not at all designer and radically different from the previously agreed, it was very ugly! There were no promised rose petals to shed!
10. We were put together on the same day with another couple, according to the weather, but in fact to save time and money. More income for the happiness of others.
11. Since there were two couples on the same day, respectively, the time was given half as much, the photos were taken only from the ceremony, there are no separately staged photos with the sea.

12. In the "package" of services of the ceremony, it is indicated that the photos are given on a disk before leaving the hotel. In fact, they were not!
13. The wait for the photos was a month and a half, every day they cheated, referring to the fact that they confused us with another couple, then to the speed of the Internet. It was said that they loaded on Saturday, and we received them on Thursday. All photos were not selected, everything that was photographed was thrown off, without deep retouching, previously promised.
14. The etiquette and manner of communication before and after the transfer of money was radically different, it was clearly visible that they were not working with us, but "making money" for us!!! At the same time, they were reminded all the time that our wedding was "economy", wow economy for that kind of money !!! It's not very pleasant to hear that.
In general, I advise you to choose a wedding organizer very carefully if you are going to have a wedding in the Dominican Republic.
