Hard Rock Punta Cana Wedding [chantelle + julian]

It’s one of those “high school sweethearts” stories that you don’t think actually happens in real life … but it DOES!

Chantelle & Julian really did meet through mutual friends in high school and became inseparable.

Their amazing Hard Rock Punta Cana wedding wasn’t your typical wedding … but a Vow Renewal, after 10 beautiful years together!

Their guilty pleasures: “chips and listening to Laker talk. Also, politics all day for Julian. And the ultimate: chocolate and show binging all day.”

They wanted a bright & touching ceremony on the sand, and chose one of THE most stunning beaches Punta Cana has to offer, at Hard Rock resort. Reception in a ballroom, and a magical Rock the Dress experience to follow.

I love it when our couples get up for sunrise to do this! Still high on the emotions of the incredible Wedding Day, they were so radiant … one of my favourite sets of ‘Punta Cana trash the dress’ images to date.

Of course, we didn’t ‘trash’ anything, Chantelle’s wedding dress survived and thrived!

Proposal:

“Horseback riding to a top of a hill right next to the Hollywood sign and overlooking the city of Los Angeles. It was incredible.”

Songs special to their love: Brandon Heath “Love Never fails, Jason Mraz “I Won’t Give Up” & Ed Sheeran “Thinking Out Loud.”
