HELLO & WELCOME

Hi there!
I’m Antonina Destination Wedding Photographer in Punta Cana
and a few words about me and my work.
I started dabbling in photography while I was studying
for my psychology degree in Moscow, Russia.
When I realized that this was my destiny, I simultaneously started
taking classes in the School of Photography and received my certification
to begin my long journey into the world of images…
I worked in various photo studios in Moscow.
I worked as a photographer for weddings, both big and small
and for photo sessions and love stories for over 3 years in Russia.
8 years ago, I decided to move abroad to Punta Cana - Dominican Republic
to gain new experiences, new emotions.
Here, my love for photography has grown immensely
as I get to work in many roles such as a wedding planner, an organizer,
and photographer of weddings and events for people from around the world.
The past 11 years have been a blessing.
And now I’m here and I have my own awesome & creative team
specializing in destination wedding photography and videography.
3 great professional photographers and 2 ingenious videographers
with experience of over 350 weddings.

I am so happy I found Antonina for my destination wedding in February! Her and her videographer were nice, professional, and my wedding photos and videos turned out beautiful. My husband and I don't take photos often, so I am glad we were given direction on what poses and actions to do. They were very easy to work with and everything went smooth. I would definitely recommend Antonina. Her work is amazing!

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have Antonina and her videographer document my daughter’s wedding day. Their talent in photography and videography is truly remarkable. Every photo they captured is a masterpiece, showcasing the beauty, emotions, and intricate details of our wedding. Antonia’s team were absolute professionals throughout the entire process. They effortlessly captured every important moment, from the heartfelt exchange of vows to the joyful celebration with our loved ones. Their keen eye for detail and ability to anticipate different situations made sure no precious moment was missed. What sets Antonina and team apart is their dedication to their craft. They were present and attentive from the beginning till the end, ensuring that every significant aspect of our wedding was documented flawlessly. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, allowing us to be ourselves and capturing the genuine emotions of the day. The quality of their work is simply outstanding.

My husband and I got married in December 2023 and had the pleasure of working with Antonina and her team. We received our photos and video 3 months after our ceremony and are in awe at how incredible her work is. We found Antonina originally through Instagram while searching for Punta Cana wedding photographers. Her work stuck out immediately as the images she captured were radiant and vibrant, matching the aesthetic we imagined for our tropical island wedding. Coordination with her was very easy and her response time was usually within a day which is incredible for planning a celebration from so far away. She offers various packages and after consideration, we decided on package 2 for both videography and photography, which offered 7 hrs of coverage. This was more than enough for our small celebration and the prices are more affordable than the cost of one of those services in the United States so it feels like you get a great deal. Antonina was able to capture the love and joy from one of the most important moments of our life and we cannot thank her enough for her time and effort and for making us feel so special.

My wife and I got married last October at Pearl Beach Club in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We had the pleasure of having Antonina and team handle all of our photo and video needs. It was a sigh of relief seeing how coordinated and how easy it was to communicate with. We felt they had everything we wanted in terms of the types of photos and videos we requested. On the actual wedding day, Antonina and team were there from the beginning all the way to the end. I cannot stress how easy they made everything feel. The team was very courteous and helpful with any specifics needs or poses we asked for. We honestly felt that they were always there to capture every moment. On top of that, we felt that they were very smooth in making us feel coordinated, especially on a day as chaotic as a wedding. The team knew exactly when it was time to take first look pictures, videos with the drone, or pictures with the family. They made us feel so comfortable. Thank you so much to that team, I have these memories that I can cherish forever. Please look at some of my favorites from her.
