Tuyet & Rick booked me for what seemed like a long time ago. Their original plans were to get married here in Calgary last June. But they both decided maybe a destination wedding was going to be more fun, so plans were made to have the wedding in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. When they alerted me of the changes, they said “don’t worry, Johnny, you’re our photographer, so we’re bringing you with us!” My first destination wedding!! I was stoked obviously. I was so excited it was Tuyet and Rick, that I was doing destination wedding photography for. We get along like we were old friends so I knew I would really enjoy my week with them, their friends/family and their 2 kids Jada and Anthony.
There were 26 of us and we stayed at the beautiful and relaxing Grand Oasis Marien. The resort was clean and well kept. The staff were super friendly and locals were very welcoming. Of course drinks were included and as always, the first night was the binge night! Tuyet & Rick and their friends can drink and drink lots! The whole week I spent with them was a blast and I really got to know everyone on the trip very well. I am sure we will all stay in touch and hopefully have some sort of reunion, because I already miss them all!
Thank you so much T&R for bringing me to the Dominican Republic to capture your incredible wedding. I had an amazing experience that I will never forget and I am so honored to call you guys friends and not just clients.
