Ali & Roy wanted a simple beach wedding so they decided to do a destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Their ceremony and celebration party were all at the elegant Majestic Colonial hotel. We were overjoyed when Ali & Roy asked us to photograph their wedding. They are a truly sweet and fun-loving couple and we had a really great time with them.
This is one of our favorite photos of the couple. They look extremely happy together.
And, we love how Roy was looking at Ali when she put the ring on his finger. Pure affection.
As you can see, Punta Cana’s beaches are beautiful. The picturesque palm trees make for a beautiful photo. Just looking at the photo relaxes you – can’t you just feel the warm island breezes?
Ali & Roy decided to do a “trash the dress” session the day after their wedding. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s a shoot where you have fun doing funky photos in your wedding gown (e.g., jump into a pool and lie on the beach). It’s usually done after the wedding so that you don’t have to worry about getting your gown dirty; hence, the name “trash the dress.” While we’re on the subject of jumping into a pool…
and lying on the beach… This picture is great since it shows all 4 of us, Ali, Roy, James & Alice. We’re sure that you can easily find Ali & Roy. Having trouble finding the 2 of us though? James is the head bobbing in the water. He wore his snorkeling gear so that he can still take a picture as the waves crashed over him! And, Alice is the shadow in the sand (lower right of the photo).
Thank you, Ali & Roy, for a wonderful time in Punta Cana!!
