It's not just the photographs during the ceremony or reception that matter. It's all those special little moments before and after. For this destination wedding at Excellence El Carmen in Punta Cana, While Chelsea was getting her hair and make-up done at the spa, Tuck was quietly relaxing on the beach. It's a special memory that I wanted to capture especially since they were not together.

Excellence El Carmen is a fantastic location for wedding plus it has amazing activities for when you have downtime from your wedding activities. Some of my personal favorites include:

• 23 Incredible pools throughout the property
• 9 jacuzzis that are fantastic even in the heat
• Bikes
• Snorkeling
• scuba diving
• Aerobics and yoga classes
• The Miilé Spa
• Bocce, tennis, volleyball and other beach activities
• Lots of guided activities like dance lessons
• An abundance of incredible restaurants and bar
• Nightly shows and events

There is no limit to the activities that you can take part in and they all photograph beautifully! And the suites... oh my goodness! The suites are straight from a dream! From a photographer's point of view, this resort is amazing and offers an incredible array of opportunities.

If you're interested in booking an island wedding and want to commission me to come along and shoot your special trip, I would be honored to discuss the possibilities with you!

Location: Carr Uvero Alto, Punta Cana 23000, Dominican Republic.
