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.

The best experience Antonina is a professional, my photos and videos turned out beautiful. She is a very sweet person and was attentive to every detail. When I received the photos, I cried with happiness because she took photos of all the guests and every moment that I I didn't see them, I was able to see them thanks to the photos and video, the best photographer in Punta Cana ❤️🥰

Antonina was amazing! I used her for my wedding in December of 2022 and it was perfect. She was great at communicating before during and after the wedding. Our photos turned out great and we are super happy with her and the team! We used her for both photo and video, which worked out really well since they were able to coordinate with each other day of. I would definitely recommend!

My husband and I got married this past Summer at Royalton Punta Cana and Antonina and her team we're just wonderful to work with! She was very professional, responsive, patient, and captured our special day perfectly! She worked with us to ensure that our video was how we wanted and the pictures came out absolutely stunning. I would recommend Antonina to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their destination wedding in Punta Cana.

Extremely happy with my photos! Everything came out beautiful ! It was nearly 100 degrees on our wedding day and the photographers and videographer never complained plus they made us look great in the photos !!! I appreciated all their hard work! They were very professional and pleasant to have. My only thing is they asked for a specific list of photos I wanted and they didn’t take a photo of my wedding shoes In the “detail” photos which disappointed me. However, the rest of my photos made up for it. Thank you Antonina Photos !

I got married at the Dreams Royal Beach in Punta Cana in May and chose Antonina Yurieva for my photography- she did an outstanding job! Not only was she very responsive, punctual and professional, her and her team made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is no small task!) My wedding photos turned out above and beyond what I'd hoped for- I would highly recommend her to all brides looking for wedding photography in the area!
