We are using Karina Jenson for photography and HDC Photo for videography. Karina's website is http://photobykarina.com/.  Her portfolio is amazing and her prices are very reasonable. She's based in La Romana (I think) so there are some nominal travel fees.  Have an awesome trip and happy planning!!

Hey...we went with Caribbean Emotions for photography and videography! Heard great things about them and great prices :-) On another note, does anyone know if the flowers for bride and bridesmaids bouquets real or fake??

We also used Caribbean Emotions. They were great! The flowers are real and beautiful!

Hello!

 

I just returned from a trip to Punta Cana. We stayed at Hard Rock (it is awesome!) and toured 6 other resorts - Majestic Elegance, Dreams Palm Beach, Ocean Blue & Sand, Gran Bahia Principe Amber & Esmerelda, Now Laeimar, Secrets Royal Beach and The Jellyfish! It is awesome and pictures are attached!!! It's open and airy with lots of ambiance and right on the beach. It's a one lane bumpy ride in and out but definitely worth the ride. Mayte and I had planned to meet up but unfortunately my schedule was changed last minute and we missed each other. Mayte works individually with each couple but  she sent me an estimate of pricing so my brides booked at the Jellyfish could get an idea of pricing. Please see below. If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 866-208-8681. Thanks! TA Patty  

 

Hi Patty,

For decor and ceremony set on the beach for less than 50 pax is around 1.500 us all included, names cards, menu cards in wedding colors and under the pictures of the bride, all is possible. No chrage for candles or colors.

Flowers: depend a lots for the type of flowers, roses are not the same price than orquids, and depends as well for the design.
But more or less is:

Botounieurs: 10 to 15 us
Corsages: 25 to 45 us
petal bags: 12/15 us depends on the colors
