My dear Jellyfish brides!! I'm feeling bittersweet - our 1-year Jellyfish wedding anniversary is in just around the corner and I'm feeling a whole lotta love & nostalgia... So, I thought I'd share with you some fun links with you!! Most of you already know my blog because since Rob & I had our wedding at Jellyfish, we've become sort of like ambassadors of this amazing venue... But I thought I'd throw this together for your convenience & browsing pleasure: here are all the Jellyfish posts we've done up to date! These posts are such a labour of love. I hope they give you some inspiration and make you feel more at ease about your own wedding there. It's truly the BEST venue in Punta Cana, hands down! http://www.katyanovablog.com/punta-cana-bride-jellyfish-dreams-review/ (confessions about my own wedding) http://www.katyanovablog.com/punta-cana-wedding-jellyfish/ (first time I met Mayte) http://www.katyanovablog.com/dreams-palm-beach-jellyfish-wedding-punta-cana-mc/ (our first wedding at Jellyfish) http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-wedding-photographer-lisa-jay/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-punta-cana-wedding-photographer-amanda-brad/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-punta-cana-wedding-photographer-amber-jason/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/punta-cana-honeymoon-photographer-petronela-darius/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-wedding-photographer-nan-brit/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/punta-cana-wedding-photographer-jellyfish-brandy-john/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-wedding-photographer-christy-joe/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/maya-valentin-jellyfish-wedding-punta-cana/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/yvon-jc-jellyfish-bahia-principe-wedding/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-wedding-photographer-marissa-matt/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/melia-jellyfish-wedding-photographer-blair-yev/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-wedding-photographer-angie-sean/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/dreams-palm-beach-jellyfish-wedding-photographer-jamie-charles/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/punta-cana-wedding-photographer-steph-mitch/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/dreams-palm-beach-jellyfish-wedding-photographer-caitlin-rob/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/dreams-palm-beach-jellyfish-wedding-ashley-brendan/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-wedding-photographer-jenn-ryan/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/jellyfish-wedding-photographer-sarah-billy/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/punta-cana-wedding-jellyfish-golnar-jack/ http://www.katyanovablog.com/dominican-republic-wedding-jellyfish-lauren-stephen/ Also, follow the Jellyfish Restaurant Board on Pinterest here: http://pinterest.com/katyanova/jellyfish-punta-cana/ Feel free to bookmark this page, as I'll be adding more links every month. 2014 is filling up fast!!

My dear ladies!!! Rob & I got married at Dreams Palm Beach & Jellyfish in April 2012, it was the most amazing time of our lives. It was even more amazing because we spend most of our time on the other side - we're wedding photographers here in Punta Cana (and all around the world!) This is our 2nd full time season living in the Dominican Republic, so we have lots of awesome tips to share. These CONFESSIONS are some reflections, tips & tricks regarding choosing a resort & venue for your Big Day. It was such a labour of love, I truly hope it's of value to you! If you have any questions about choosing the perfect resort, please don't hesitate to reach out. We always have up-to-date information. We're here for you at [email protected] or via private message here on the forum. HUGS!!! Katya.

My dear Hard Rock brides!!! Are you ready for some eye candy?! We LOVE Hard Rock... they ROCK!!! Here's a wedding we just documented at Hard Rock, the planners did a fabulous job!! http://www.katyanovablog.com/hard-rock-punta-cana-wedding-erika-frank/ Hard Rock hired us for a some commercial shoots a few weeks ago, I'm working on a comprehensive feature to *hopefully* make you all feel like you're right there!! If you want a me to share a link to the private gallery (there are a LOT of photos), please send me a private message or email me [email protected]. Hugs to you all from sunny Punta Cana! xoxo

Julia Eskin just had a baby a few months ago. They are good friends of ours, as far as we know, when relocated to Canada for some time and are moving to Mexico next. She's not shooting much anymore. If you're looking for great local photographers in Dominican republic, please email us at [email protected] or send us a private message on the forum, we would be happy to help. LOVE, Katya.

Ladies!! This is the resource we use all the time. It's perfect for finding out sunrises & sunsets!! http://www.shootingonlocation.com/filmlocations/dominican-republic/punta-cana/punta-cana-sunrisesunset-may.php I would highly recommend scheduling your Wedding Ceremony at least 2 hours before the sunset, especially if you're not doing the First Look. The sun sets VERY fast here. The sunsets are also NOT into water (like they are in Costa Rica for example), so there's even less light. That's why we had a sunrise wedding!! xoxo Katya.

Hey Buggle! (and sweet Costa Rica brides!) My husband & I are Canadians currently living in the Caribbean and spend a lot of time in Costa Rica (planning to move there from Punta Cana, DR in 2014, yay!) We are a rocking wedding photography team, crazy about each other and what we do... check out our website and blog for our portfolio and inspiration! We would LOVE to hear about your wedding in Costa Rica... We are planning to fly back & forth this year and will be spending all of March & April 2014 in the Guanacaste area (documenting love & looking for a house )) Much love, PURA VIDA, K+R. ... check out our website and blog...
