Couples commission me to be their personal image maker during their entire wedding experience, not just the wedding day.
There is simply nothing like the warm feeling of owning a full collection of images that remind you of your loved ones. It’s beautiful.
Amanda and Anson have a special connection to the Dominican Republic – his family has done considerable work there with the microloan NGO Esperanza. The north coast of the island is such a beautiful spot that they wanted all of their loved ones to see it.
The incredible scenery aside, this wedding is a true celebration of loved ones. Anson and Amanda each have four brothers who all played important roles during the weekend.
If you’re getting married in an unusual place we’ll definitely find a way to fit in some portraits on location to make the most of the pretty spot you chose.
