The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana was the perfect setting for Natalie and Eric’s Destination Wedding. Palm trees swaying in the breeze… Sun, sand, and the sounds of the ocean. It was truly the perfect way to celebrate this next step in their lives together!
I made my way down to the Dominican Republic two weeks ago to capture this momentous occasion and I was truly blown away by the overwhelming love and support surrounding Natalie and Eric on their wedding day. Friends and family flew hundreds of miles to witness their vows and danced the night away as the celebration continued! It was truly the perfect weekend and I’m so happy for them both!
Thank you so much for flying me to Punta Cana to capture your wedding! Congratulations Natalie & Eric!Ă‚Â
