Ryan + Emily | A Dreams Resort Wedding in Punta Cana

When I think of words to describe a destination wedding, I have a hard time because these trips are SO much more than just a wedding in itself. Having the privilege to sit back and watch an amazing group of friends and family come together, is something I do not take for granted. I’m never just here to shoot the wedding, because I am always lucky enough to work with people like Ryan and Emily who treat me as their own.

This is my second time away for a wedding with Emily’s family, and I can’t say enough great things about this Buckland Clan. The way Emily’s sister Allison teared up all day before she even walked down the aisle, to the sweet smile on daddy Bill’s face when he looked at his little girl during the first dance. Now these are all obvious things that happen on a wedding day but the way these lovely people take care of one another is really something special. Anyone who knows Donna and Bill would have to agree they are the sweetest people, and raised an amazing family. It’s been a pleasure getting to know both Ryan and Emily’s families.

Ryan and Emily you two are so blessed to have such a huge support system, it’s clear your friends and family love you deeply and it was an honour to be able to witness your love this week! Thank you for having us, it’s been oodles of fun!
