Lauri and Roman are ENGAGED and getting MARRIED next week!

Lauri and Roman attend the same church as me- El Circulo. They are a lovely couple!

In the Dominican Republic, engagement photos are done a bit differently. The bride wears a wedding dress for the engagement photos because there is usually not enough time to take nice/scenic photos on the day of the wedding.  

This was such a great experience for me to explore the city and take their photos!  I was the second shooter for the wonderful photographer Jose Jimenez , who directed the whole photo shoot. As his assistant, I got practice using the reflector and and light stand.  As second shooter, most of the photos I took were from far away, but I was able to snag a few close-ups. The following photos were taken in Parque Mirador Sur.
