What a spectacular wedding week for Ravi and Azadeh! As they live year-round in Toronto, Canada, selecting a warm tropical paradise setting for their wedding was a no brainer. Their wedding planner extraordinaire, Jamica Andani<\/a> of Weddings in the Tropics, said that when the bride and groom came in for a consultation they indicated that they were looking for an intimate venue, silky sand beach and a more contemporary resort that would provide an extraordinary experience for their guests. They were also looking for a totally unique venue, and they found just that thanks to Jamica\u2019s help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wedding in Punta Cana<\/h3>\n

Punta Cana, located in the Dominican Republic, is a popular choice for destination weddings. One of my favorite weddings took place at a luxury resort, where the ceremony was held on a private beach. The couple wanted a mix of candid and posed shots, which required me to be versatile and quick on my feet.<\/span><\/p>\n
