After I photographed their engagement session in Houston, Erica let it slip that they were planning a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic. I had such a great time with them that it seemed meant to be that I'd photograph their wedding also. We finally confirmed I'd be joining them and the excitement continued to build because I kept running into them! At Anat and Jay's wedding in Houston as well as Dara & Chuma's.

I was greeted by beautiful weather when I arrived at the Punta Cana airport. That weather would continue until just moments after the ceremony concluded. Fortunately the reception was in a covered space on the resort grounds and in between dodging rain drops we snuck in a few portraits of their family and friends on the beach as well.

The night before their wedding, I also had a great time photographing their rehearsal dinner. I don't often get a chance to photograph these events but love it when I do because you learn so much about the history of the couple with their family and friends and get a chance to know the guests in a more relaxed setting.

Below are some highlights from their wedding weekend:
