Destination Wedding
Photography & Videography

There is something distinctive about weddings celebrated away from home. They bring together people from different places, unfold in settings chosen for their beauty and meaning, and turn a wedding day into an experience shaped as much by the destination as by the celebration itself. For more than two decades, our team has had the privilege of documenting celebrations like these, from beachfront resorts and private villas to historic churches, tropical gardens, and intimate venues.

That experience shapes the way we approach both photography and film. We have learned how to let each setting become part of the story without allowing it to overshadow the people at its center, documenting every celebration with a strong sense of place, an eye for the moments that matter, and the consistency that comes from years spent immersed in destination weddings.

Wedding Photography

Wedding photographs preserve the day in a way that allows you to return to it one moment at a time. The quiet exchanges, the people gathered around you, the atmosphere of the setting, and the portraits created along the way all become part of a larger story. Our approach balances natural moments with thoughtful direction, creating images that feel polished and intentional while still belonging completely to the celebration itself.

Wedding Videography

Film brings another dimension to the story. It preserves the movement of the day, the sound of your vows, the emotion in a speech, the laughter between friends, and the atmosphere of the celebration as it unfolds. Our wedding films bring those moments together in a way that allows you to experience not only how everything looked, but how it felt to be there.

Since 2006

The Story Behind HDC Photo

When Arnaud Brichet founded HDC Photo in 2006, he believed that the greatest stories did not need to be created. They were already there, unfolding naturally, simply waiting to be captured. That philosophy has remained at the heart of HDC Photo ever since, shaping the way we approach the people, moments, and celebrations in front of our cameras.

Testimonials

Kind Words From Our Couples

Every wedding leaves behind more than photographs and films. The words of the couples who trusted us with their most unforgettable moments are a beautiful reminder of the love, joy, and memories we were lucky enough to share.

They arrived on time, worked so smoothly together, and made me and everyone around feel completely comfortable. I could tell they knew exactly what they were doing, capturing every special moment naturally and beautifully. When I received my photos and videos, I was absolutely blown away.

Evelyn & Benjamin

Grand Palladium Punta Cana

They made everyone feel so comfortable, they made us laugh, and were truly a great addition to our day and company. They instantly sensed our vibes and personalities, and captured each of us, and us together perfectly! I can't stop looking at our pictures, happy is an understatement!

Ashley & Joseph

Hard Rock Punta Cana

Arnaud and his team were amazing to work with! He was very responsive through email and met with us several times through Zoom to answer our questions. When our wedding ran late, he was extremely flexible and was able to stay a while longer to catch some shots of our dance floor. We are over the moon with the results.

FAQ

Destination Wedding Photography Frequently Asked Questions

How do we plan our photography and videography before arriving at our destination?

Almost everything can be arranged before you arrive. We can meet by video call, answer any questions you may have, and help you choose the photography and videography package that best fits your celebration. That way, everything is already in place when you arrive, leaving you free to enjoy your wedding.

Do you photograph weddings of any size?

Yes. We photograph everything from intimate elopements and small destination weddings to large celebrations with hundreds of guests. The size and structure of your celebration simply help us recommend the coverage and team that best fit your wedding.

Can you cover weddings and events across several days?

Absolutely. Destination weddings often extend well beyond the wedding day, and we can build coverage around the entire celebration. This can include welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, the wedding itself, day-after sessions, farewell events, or any other moments you would like documented. We can create a custom combination of photography and videography based on your plans.

How do I reserve my wedding date?

Start by sending us an inquiry with your wedding date, venue, and a few details about your plans. We will confirm our availability and send you our photography and videography packages to review. Once you have selected the package that best fits your wedding, we will prepare and send your contract. Your date is officially reserved once we receive the signed contract and 30% retainer.

Do you work with a second photographer?

Yes. Some of our packages already include a second photographer. If the package you choose does not, you can add one separately. A second photographer can be especially useful for larger weddings, simultaneous getting-ready moments, or celebrations taking place across multiple locations.

Is travel/accommodation included in your pricing?

For most weddings in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Mexico, travel and accommodation are already included in our pricing. For destinations outside these areas, any additional travel costs will depend on the location and logistics of the wedding. We will always confirm any additional costs with you before you book, so you know exactly what is included.
