Photo Souvenir - Destination Wedding Photography
Rated #9 of 110 Photographer Reviews on BDW
About:
We are Renaud and Severine, two young Europeans who started working in the Dominican Republic as photographers in 2000 and who created their own company four years ago.
Led by our passion for photography, we quickly realized that we wanted to offer a more personalized and professional service than the traditional "resort" picture that can be found in most of the places here and are now offering the same quality that you would find in your own country. The only difference is that we are onsite and have a lot of experience in beach weddings.
You can contact us for more information about pricing and we hope to meet you soon here in paradise!

Pros: BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!
We booked Reno for our 10 year wedding anniversary pics. Reno was an incredibly sweet guy who made us feel instantly comfortable. His work was unbelievable, my family loved each and every one of our pics. He captured our special event in a unique way and made it so memorable. My pictures couldn't have of turned out more beautiful! I mean every photo is just gorgeous, I was blown away!

Pros: Friendly, easy-going, captured great moments, beautiful photos!
Cons: Nothing
We had our beach wedding ceremony at Excellence, Punta Cana. Severine was our photographer. She was so friendly and fun to work with! We had both photos and a video made, and even though they captured tons of amazing moments, they did not detract from the ceremony at all. I did not really know what photos to ask for, but Severine took care of everything - we have received a great range of photos from candids to group pictures. The editing was also gorgeous - we can't wait to put some beautiful b

Pros: Professional, knowledgable, experienced, high quality work, easy to work with
Cons: None
We hired PhotoSouvenir for our wedding at the Excellence Punta Cana resort in April 2013. Renaud personally did the photography, and had an assistant along with him to do the videography. We could not have been happier with the results!
Renaud met with us several days before to go over what the timeline would be for our wedding day. It was really clear from the start just how much experience he had, and we were very confident letting him take charge of things since we had no idea what we

Pros: Beautiful work, passionate staff, easy to work with, responsive, well-priced
Renaud photographed our beach wedding at the Paradisus Punta Cana resort in October 2012. We had originally chosen a different (cheaper) photographer for our wedding which ended up falling through and I cannot tell you what a blessing in disguise that was! From the first moment I contacted Renaud & Severine they were nothing but responsive and happy to answer any question I might have. It was nerve-wracking planning all the details from afar but Renaud & Severine made it easy. Renaud cam

Pros: Professionalism, creativity, responsibility, communication, attitude
My husband and I decided to have professional pictures from our vacation. I found Photo Souvenir page in google. Ranaud responded the same day. Helped us to choose a good place for the photosession-Juanillo beach. I must confirm: we had some experience in photosessions with different photographers before. Renaud is really professional in what he does. The result of his work is incredible. He is able to catch the most beautiful moments, smiles, sights in his pictures. This day has become the mo

Pros: personable, creative, quality photos, pleasure to work with
Cons: none
One of the biggest priorities of our wedding was finding an amazing photographer to capture the memories of one of the most important days of our lives. My husband and I are beyond happy that we chose Photosouvenir!! Renaud was our photographer. He is very personable and made the experience extremely fun! Renaud is passionate about photography and has an exceptional creative eye. We got a great combination of posed and candid shots. He took so many fabulous photos that we had a difficult time na

We chose Photo Souvenir for our wedding after many hours of looking through different photography websites in Dominican. We chose this company because of the style of work that they put out. I am an amateur photographer myself so I was looking for someone with similar style to what I like to shoot. Renaud was amazing from the planning process to the wedding day he was very organized, on time and gave us the photos very fast!!
Any of the people who have seen our wedding photos have said v

Pros: Professional, able to act wisely and quickly under pressure, impressive photography quality.
My wife Nubia and I were married in the Dominican Republic in February of 2013 and we still haven’t stopped looking over our pictures on a daily basis. We couldn’t be happier with the job Reno Cassius of Photo Souvenir SA [[email protected]] did with our wedding photos.
Let me preface this review with saying that as an ignorant bachelor before I became a married man I had little interest in choosing a photographer and didn’t see the value of going for the best. However, in the en

We got married in February of 2013, and Renaud and his team (Severine was away on vacation, so it was not his usual second photographer) were amazing! We are so happy that we chose Photo Souvenir! Here are a few reasons why:
Planning a destination wedding in a tropical location can be frustrating at times due to "island time" responses, especially when you are used to instant communication in the U.S. Renaud was always very prompt in returning any of my emails. I never felt as though I

Pros: Great communication thus far and already offered a variety of discounts to help make our purchase easier.
We just booked Photo Souvenir for our photography and our videography for our wedding at the Majestic Elegance. We are so excited that they are going to be able to shoot our day. I'm a photographer as well and this team shares the same vision that I do. I could not be more excited.

We had our wedding and town photos done by Serevine from Photo Souvenir in November 2012. It was a really great experience and we are so happy with the photos. Right from the first communication through to end they always did what they could to make it a great experience. Serevine is so friendly and really easy to work with. We had so much fun taking the photos with her and could not be happier with the results of what the photos look like. They were very cooperative in working with our sch

Pros: Professional, friendly, great photo's
Cons: none
We had a destination wedding at Excellence Punta Cana and had our ceremony at Kukua Beach Club in Punta Cana. We found Photo Souvenir through our resort but ended up talking to Reno (one of the owners) directly. Reno was great leading up to our wedding as we tried to figure out what type of package would be best for us. We ended up getting 8 hours of coverage and just asked for digital copies of the photo's so we could do our own things with them when we got back to the US. We also purchased

We have just booked out photography services with Photo Souvenir for our Arpil 2013 wedding at Excellence Punta Cana.

Pros: nice personality, speak french, original, respectfull, nice team work, ideas are welcome
Cons: nothing
We just had our wedding two weeks ago and Renaud was our photographer. For us the photographer was really important and it was important to have the best one of punta cana. He was over our expectations. We like original picture and he had a lot of good ideas. He was a little bit more expensive of the photographer of our hotel but It was more then worth it.
Renaud is a good photographer but he also have a nice personality and he is really respectfull. He knows how it is working and how to

Cons: nothing!!! We mean it really. Nothing
We find Reno over google. Photo Souvenir was one of the first results by google. We contact him over E-Mail and get quickly a answer and a fair offer. The most important think is the results of the pictures and the fun you have during the session. The results you can see on his Homepage. And what we can say you is that the session was unbelievable... He do the pictures during you have fun! And that you will see on your pictures.
