Question
Why Punta Cana?
Answer
Ambar's family is from Dominican Republic, and most of her family still live there. She grew up vacationing in Punta Cana since before she could crawl, so it's always been her special happy place! When she finally got to bring Mac along, he fell in love with the island— the beauty, the people, everything! So when it came time to choose a wedding location, we decided it was the perfect opportunity and occasion to bring our favorite people to such a special place and to create amazing memories together!

Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
Unless specified on your formal invitation, we ask that you do not bring a guest.
Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony, which means NO photos! We ask our guests to laugh, cry, and be present in the moment with us. Our hired professionals will be doing the photo-taking during that time; we'd hate it if your phones ruin the picture-perfect shot. Feel free to take all the photos you like after the ceremony is complete! Por favor, no arruinen nuestras fotos con un iPhone en primer plano. Mejor sonrían, llóren, suspíren...y dejen la magia, la capture nuestro fotógrafo oficial.
