awesome awesome pics!!!

Wow.... Amazing!!

What amazing pics!!!

I have actually been in touch with Nikki regarding her wedding.. she couldnt give me much information, and kept directing me directly to the wedding coordinator at CDC, but they are soooo slow over there.. CDC is the ultimate in DR for a wedding.. but it is expensive.. if you have a small wedding, its not so bad, but we're expecting over 100 guests, so dont think it will be able to happen there! =(

Dreams is most definitely more affordable for a wedding.. although Casa de Campo weddings are top notch!

You make such a great couple.. LOVE the photos! =)

I haven't been able to look at this thread for a while. And to be honest I was sold on fersobes site myself, my dad is a photographer so I knew exactly what I was looking for the instant I saw it. I actually got in contact wit them since and got some info so if anyone else wanted some info u can pm me and I'll forward what they gave me. And thanks laybar for the tip about the videographer I'll be sure to check him out! No worries on not responding! could you pm whatever info you got from jochy fersobe? i want to see if its the same that i got (but mine isnt electronic).. i'm so excited for you! my wedding date is tentative.. we originally were thinking 2010 but in order to save more, we're pushing it to 2011 =o, so i have awhile to go.. ugh. lol

oh also.. another similar photographer to Jochy in DR is Daviel Taveras.. he's based out there as well as Miami. he does great work. Here are a couple other Grupo Filmico wedding videos: Login | Facebook Login | Facebook

I am from Dominican Republic and i'll tell you that Jochy Fersobe is one of the TOP photographers in DR. He is actually based out in Santo Domingo, but can travel the few hours it takes to Punta Cana. When I was in DR last month for a cousin's wedding, I actually went to visit his studio & his pics are AMAZING!!! His website does not do him justice whatsoever. Actually, I didnt understand why all my friends & family crazed over Jochy Fersobe based on his website, but when i checked out his work in his studio, i said YES!! This is exactly what i want my pictures like.. he's a photojournalistic photographer. His highest package is about $3300 from what I remember (I have his paperwork @ home) & I think that includes an informal session (i.e. engagement session) as well as what they call a 'sesion de novios' which is basically like a TTD. LIke i said, this is his most expensive package & he has other ones that start out at $1600. As for photsouvenir, they are based out in Punta Cana & most people travelling into Punta Cana will use them. I dont have any experience with them, but I've seen some pictures & seem to do a good job. I just LOVE Jochy Fersobe though! P.S. Jochy also does video, but i personally wasnt ecstatic about the video.. if you're looking for video.. check into Grupo Filmico.. they are awesome! They're also based out in Santo Domingo, but can travel as well. Alejandro is the contact & he's awesome & makes you feel super comfortable. you can do a search for the company on google & find them or i think it might just be GRUPO FILMICO - Videos profesionales para todo tipo de eventos.. or actually check them out on youtube: YouTube - Grupo Filmico 1 - Bodas They can personalize it with whatever music you'd like as you can expect. They can also do everything in HD as well as Blu ray (much more expensive). Let me know if you have any other questions.

I'm a member & love project wedding.. you can save all the photos you like easily!

Awesome engagement photos!!

Does anybody have the pricing for the private reception events?

Do you ladies know anything about getting married at the Catcholic Church at altos de chavon & then going back to the hotel for the reception? the wedding coordinator @ dreams la romana hasnt gotten back to me & its been weeks. also, can either of you email me the pricing list to [email protected]? thanks girlies! =)

AWESOME pics, ladies!!!!

i like the 1st or last.. the last w/ sweetheart would be good!

Hi! I am actually planning on doing a site there next month while i am in DR. i can let you know my thoughts when I return. can you forward me the information you have?

You looked amazing.. where did you get your dress?

Haha.. I too am unengaged.. but i am a planner by nature.. i've been w/ my boy for about 3 years & just waiting for the moment as well.. lol.. he knows! we've started looking at things together since we know we want a destination wedding in DR, but then i feel silly bc my left ring finger is still empty!! agH! lol.. it'll happen when its mean to! As my mother has always said.. all in due time.. ugh!! haha =)

Question.. is it more expensive to go the non-AI route? Does it become more difficult as well in regards to the whole group? I think I would feel bad that if we're all out togetehr i wouldnt be picking up the tabs all the time.. but then again, we wouldnt be able to pay for everyone every time we're together. I think the AI makes more sense in a group setting.. but i too want to get married in a villa, but in Dominican Republic. I'm just afraid of what would happen when everyone's together & the bill needs to get taken care of. I mean, i am planning on taking care of a welcome party @ the villa, as well as a bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner & the wedding itself.. above that i can't do as we would be expecting about 100 people. Can anyone share how much their wedding came out to when going the non-AI hotel or villa route? Thanks!!

I was actually thinking of having my brother walk me down with my dad as well.. havent confirmed this yet, but thats an idea.

check these people out: GRUPO FILMICO - Videos profesionales para todo tipo de eventos they're from santo domingo.. i want to use them when its my turn but havent gotten that far yet.. good luck!

Beautiful Wedding Pics!!

I am assuming that if you have never attended a wedding with alcohol then, the group attending all have similar values.. if they know you, then they would know this already, or assume it already. I mean, if they're there for a vacation & want to have a drink, they can always have a drink beforehand.. I'll be honest, i would prefer alcohol when attending a wedding, but i behave.. but if i got invited to a wedding for a friend whose beliefs included no alcohol, i would laready expect that there woudl be no alcohol and would respect that.. its not about 'me' as a guest.. its about the couple celebrating their love for one another. hope that helps!
