Michaella + Javi | Romantic Bilingual Catholic Mass & Oceanside Fiesta on the Beach in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic | Indianapolis Elopement & International Destination Wedding Photographers

Here's to Mr & Mrs Liz!

We traveled down to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic to photograph Michaella & Javi's bilingual Catholic destination wedding with an oceanside fiesta and it was a blast! These two are so easy going and go with the flow that their wedding day was a breeze. I have to hand it to these two, they were truly down for anything we threw at them...including holding random pigeons outside of the cathedral! It wasn't until the birds started landing on them that we learned Michaella is afraid of birds (which made for some hilarious bloopers) but she lived in the moment and looked amazing doing it! Overall, the entire trip was such a great experience. We were so in awe of the mountains from the time we entered the air space prior to landing to the view of them everywhere we went all week. The beach was beautiful and relaxing thanks to the strong breeze and crystal clear water. It was the perfect spot for an international destination wedding! We hope these two lovebirds enjoyed their trip as much as we did and had a wonderful time connecting with each other's family that traveled from near and far to celebrate this big day with them!

Michaella + Javi | Bright and Bold Winter Engagement | Ball State University - Muncie, IN

I cannot say enough how excited we are for this wedding season! We have some seriously fun couples that are down for anything--even standing in the freezing cold for an hour to get their engagement portraits taken with all of this beautiful snow we've had! The saying is true...pain is beauty! Yesterday afternoon, we were blessed (and shocked) with a sunny day! When we arrived at Ball State University in Muncie, IN, we fell right into step with Michaella and Javi, as if we already knew them. They are such a fun-loving couple that are not afraid to be themselves. We loved watching them laugh together with their pup in the snow. We can't wait to go on this journey with them...all the way to the Dominican Republic!

As you can see from this romantic engagement session in Muncie, IN, we like to have fun with our couples and pose them in ways that feel natural to them. All of our wedding photography packages include a complimentary engagement session so we can get to know our couples on a more personal level and learn their comfort zones in front of the camera. If you are interested in having us as your wedding photographers, please contact us via our contact form!
