Kristin & Ryan’s Destination Wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Destination: Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Venue: Beach

Number of Guests: 100

The Love Story
A mutual friend's Christmas party brought Kristin & Ryan together! Two weeks later, Kristin packed her bags and moved to Australia for a year, but just before she left, Ryan asked Kristin to be his girlfriend. The rest is history!

The Planning Experience
As a wedding photographer and videographer, Kristin wanted their celebration to be different. The thought of spending just five hours with all their family and friends wasn't enough, so they decided on a destination wedding. Punta Cana was an obvious choice for them because of the stunning beaches, fun activities to do, and how easy it was for all of their guests to get there.

The Celebration
Kristin and Ryan went with the complimentary options but added florals to elevate the setup and bring their special day together. After they said their I dos and at the end of their reception, they jumped into the pool with all of their loved ones. It was the perfect way to end their special day.

The Memories
To sum up their destination wedding experience, they describe it as "freedom, epic, happiness." Besides the wedding itself, they loved having all of their loved ones celebrate their love with them for a few days and, of course, enjoying relaxing pool days together. They enjoyed their celebration so much that they plan on coming back for their one-year anniversary and filming/photographing a wedding at Hard Rock Punta Cana that weekend!
