We recently traveled to Punta Cana for a family vacation. I knew right away I wanted professional family pictures on the beach. I found HDC Photo from online reviews and I am so happy with our experience. Arnaud was great from the beginning with all of the communication! For our session we had Milan. He was very professional, funny, and most importantly captured amazing images of my husband and I with our 1 year old son! I can't say enough about this wonderful team! Thank you HDC Photo fo

Hello Brides!! I just wanted to say HDC was so great to work with and made my wedding day perfect! When I decided to do a destination wedding I thought this is going to be a lot of research and work. I found HDC through best destination weddings and I e-mailed them to get a feel for the communication. Since sometimes it takes weeks for people to respond back. Arnaud e-mailed me back the same day, I was so impressed. Everytime I e-mailed him with questions he responded quickly and answered all m

Pros: Extremely communicative and professional
We had a wonderful experience using HDC from beginning to end. Arnaud was extremely responsive and answered all of my questions during the planning and vendor selection process. Once we decided on HDC for our wedding, he made sure to confirm details ahead of the date and was in communication with us leading all the way up to the wedding date. We did have to pay an external vendor fee to our resort, but based on the work that HDC shows on their site, we thought it would be worth it.

What can I say about HDC - WOW!! My husband and I got married at Paradisus Palma Real (+ dinner/entertainment at Jellyfish) in May and were considering different photo companies serving the area. We made the right choice with HDC. From the beginning Arnaud was professional and prompt with communication, answering all my questions and replying to emails within 24 hours... often times right away or within a few hours. This reassurance and professionalism gave me peace of mind and made contracting

Cons: none
From the very beginning the service was awesome. The got back to my initial inquiry very quickly. They showed up at the resort on time. The photographer was really nice and very knowledgeable. HE put at ease as we were taking the pictures and got a ton of really good shots. If you're getting married definitely use HDC PHOTOS!!!

This is an excellent photographer! I got married at Iberostar Grand Bavaro in Punta Cana on 4/12/2014 and was matched up with Arnaud to photograph our wedding. When you're planning a destination wedding, you never know what you are going to get.. but the moment I looked at their website I knew we would be in great hands. The emails were very prompt, professional and informative each time. We arranged everything about a year in advance and paid our downpayment at the same time. There was nev

Hello all,
We used HDC for our wedding on March 10, 2014 at the Jellyfish in Punta Cana.
Without a doubt, we highly recommend them. They are professional, arrived on time and went right to work.
HDC was able to stage some beautiful photographs as they are very familiar with many of the locations and resorts in Punta Cana.
A few days after the wedding, we were able to meet with the owner at our resort and he shared our pictures with us. Do note . . . . as common with all outside v

Pros: Professional, Fun, Beautiful Composition
Cons: None
We used HDC on March 15, 2014 for a family photo session. We have taken annual session since my daughters now 7 and 8 have been born. All the previous photo sessions have been in the US with professional photographers so we were a little hesitant with booking one abroad.
HDC were the most professional, arriving exactly on-time, even though we were a little late to the lobby to the hotel. Milan was so much fun to work with and had an endless flow of ideas to come up with shots for the four of us

Pros: Everything!
Cons: the vendor fee that BBPD imposes on you
Hi Girls,
My husband and I recently got married at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe on March 8, 2014 (we did have to pay the vendor fee). My wedding started at 5pm on the pier and Merlyn and the videographer (i unfortunately didn't catch his name) arrived at the spa where I was getting ready at 4pm. I was still getting my hair done and they simply asked my bridesmaid to direct them to where the bridal suite was so that they could start taking photos of my dress, shoes, bouquet etc. It was ni

Pros: excellent pictures, excellent service
Cons: none
We were so happy with HDC. Arnaud responds to emails promptly which is so helpful when planning a wedding at a distance. We met with Arnaud prior to the wedding. He totally put our minds at ease and answered all our questions. George was our photographer the day of the wedding.
For starters, he arrived 10 minutes early. He’s a very calm person so that was nice energy to have around while I was getting ready. He spoke to both me and my husband before the ceremony and gave us some great tips f

Pros: friendly & efficient!
Cons: none!
Dealing with HDC photography was one of the easiest parts during the whole wedding process. Arnaud was quick to respond and answer my emails. Milan did an incredible job of capturing all the special moments on our wedding day. And Charlie did an amazing job when we did our TTD session the next day. I do not regret a single penny spent on HDC photography.
My only regret is that I didn't hire them longer in to the night. It would've been great to have Milan capture the bouquet/garter toss. Bu

Pros: Everything about them was great:)
Just returned back from our October 19, 2013 wedding in the Dominican Republic and wanted to give major kudos to Huellas Del Caribe (HDC Photo). Since the very beginning Arnaud was very attentive in answering all my emails, your calm persona and professionalism helped me stay a ease throughout my wedding planning. I also want to say that everyone in my wedding party and even the guest loved loved loved Charlie, he was very polite, respectful and very well mannered with all of us ladies he defini

We decided last minute to have engagement photos done on our vacation to Punta Cana. From the start, Arnaud was so quick to answer my emails and very nice about the (million) questions I had. Since we've never had professional photos done before, I was a bit nervous but Charlie made us feel comfortable right away! He took us to a beautiful and more private beach and took his time with us. I thought I wasn't photogenic and was nervous about how the photos would come out, but they were all ama

Pros: very professional, creative
First of all, communicating through email with Arnaud was a lot faster than with other vendors. He was very helpful and pleasant. Miljan was absolutely amazing. He was able to capture so many wonderful shots. Everyone who sees the pictures can't believe how beautiful the wedding was. He really was able to capture the beautiful scenery and all the special moments, it was like he was in more than 1 place at once when you look through the pictures. Thank you so much for the wonderful job!

Pros: Prompt, Friendly, Professional, Talented

I was married on July 19th at Dreams Punta Cana and was so happy with my choice to work with HDC Photography. Their photographers were absolutely great! I love my wedding photos, wedding video, and Trash the Dress photos. They have a great eye for unique and beautiful shots. If you hire them you will not be disappointed. I cannot stop looking at the photos, I love them! We also received the slideshow DVD and I really like how they set it up with the music that we picked out.

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: Wish we would have booked for even longer because Milan was so amazing!
HDC is amazing! I am so happy that I chose to book with them; Milan took so many pictures and it will be impossible to choose... I guess I will be ordering 569 pictures! Absolutely the simplest part about planning my wedding was working with HDC; Arnaud responded to my many questions within hours and working with Milan was amazing. He took so many pictures, captured so many memories and has made it impossible to choose. Again, I am so pleased I chose HDC and would do it all over again.

Pros: Everything! I could go on and on! HDC is awesome! Our photographer & Videographer Milan and Carlos were amazing! Fun, creative and very professional!
Cons: Nothing A++++++++ Service all the way around! We have beautiful pictures and a wonderful video to remember our wedding day :)
As soon as I started researching photographers in Punta Cana, i knew instantly I wanted HDC to capture our special day! Everything from all the positive reviews on here and every where I looked told me they were the best of the best and I wasn't going to find anyone any better. I literally stopped looking after five minutes and finding HDC. I emailed right away and Arnaud emailed me back instantly! Ever since that email back from Arnaud, I booked and couldnt stop looking at their website and fac

Pros: On time and very responsive to questions
Cons: Nothing!!!!
I just returned from my June 29 wedding and HDC did an exceptional job capturing the highlights of the day. The videographer was SO professional and accommodating. When the time was up, he came to me to let me know he would be leaving, but since we had not done the surprise fire show for our guests, I asked him if he would stay another hour and he did! So glad we paid for the extra hour because we now have all of the special moments of our wedding on video! I would hands down recommend this comp

Not only were the people great to work with, but the pictures are amazing! From the very first e-mail I sent, Arnaud always responded to me very quickly (usually the same day). Additionally, 2 days before the wedding, my wedding coordinator had to change our ceremony time. I was a little stressed about this, so I e-mailed Arnaud about the change in time and he mentioned that it was not an issue at all, which help relieved some stress. On the day of the wedding, Charlie arrived on time and was gr

Pros: Amazing pictures, Nice Staff, Professional
Cons: Non
I don't write reviews on anything but since this is a destination wedding site I figured brides need somewhere to get answers about vendors. I picked HDC after reading reviews and I could not be happier with my choice. I email HDC and Arnaud responded immediately. The day of wedding I was flustered and stressed, I was able to call Arnaud personally to find out what they will be doing. Charley was my photographer who did an excellent job with my shots. He took pictures that I asked for but I for

Pros: Very engaged with the wedding, Aggressive but in a good way (gets great shots), Easy to work with
I really can't think of anything bad to say about HDC! I had Miljan as my photographer and he was absolutely fabulous. I was really impressed with the fact that even my guests noticed how hard he was working. He did not hesitate to get into the action and capture the best pictures possible. He took some amazing sunset photos of my husband and I and he was very patient with all of our needs. The only con I could think to list is that there are too many great photos to pick from! If you are look f

Pros: Extremely Friendly, Excellent Quality Photos,
Cons: Absolutely None
I had been planning my destination wedding for over a year and was extremely nervous about picking a photographer I wouldn't meet until the day of the wedding. I have to say that I couldn't have chosen a better company. Charlie was our photographer and he showed up on time in my bridal suite while I was still getting my hair and makeup done in the salon. He hopped on a golf cart and started our day right in the salon with me and I don't think he stopped taking pictures from that moment. Our

Contracting with HDC photo for our wedding in Cancun Mexico was by far the best wedding decision we made!!! I found HDC photo on the BDW website and loved their photos and reached out to them. I was thrilled when they were willing to travel from the Dominican Republic to Mexico to shoot my wedding. We purchased a large photography and videography package and the price was very reasonable. Arnaud, the manager was amazing to work with. He was always quick to respond to our emails (and there w

Pros: nothing positive

I was so excited to use HDC after reading all the wonderful Reviews.Their prices are good but dont think the quality and service is that great.I was so stressed the day of that I forgot to get photos with my family and Milan did not remind me he never took the pictures that was hoping for....such as a picture of my son.The administrative service getting my pictures after the wedding was awful,I waited more than one hour at the Hotel Loby and got my pictures finally at the airport :(

Pros: prompt, courteous, professional, patient, kind
Our wedding was made beautifully memorable in pictures by the talent and professionalism of HDC photography. Our pictures were breathtaking, I don't know where to begin! I looked just how I felt..like a princess. Our photographer, Charlie, was terrific. He arrived promptly and began shooting beautiful pictures. When I had a problem with my gown he wasted no time locating my then fiance to take pictures while it was getting repaired. He then arrived back to my room and finished his pictures with
