Ashley
If you’re wanting someone who is creative, truly LOVES what he does, and who will capture the feeling, memories, and emotions you felt on your wedding day- then please hire Niko and his team! When I got my wedding day video back from Niko I was brought to tears. It was truly everything I could have wished for and more.
Niko is amazing!!
Stephanie
I cannot recommend Niko and his team enough, he was very reasonable and accommodating throughout the whole wedding planning process. He also was incredibly patient during the post production process as I asked for about 3 edits. Ultimately, I have a beautiful wedding video that I will always treasure in my heart.
Best Video Team EVER!
Kastyn
We absolutely love our wedding video! They captured so many moments for us that we have a 1.5 hour extended video and also had a short 5 minute trailer created to send around to family and friends. Both completely captured our special day and we love watching it. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding videographer.

The Best Places in the Dominican Republic for a Photoshoot
Locations
A stone chapel in the open-air village of Altos de Chavón — a 16th-century-inspired Mediterranean town perched above the Chavón River. Pale limestone, terracotta roofs, wrought-iron accents, and a cobblestone square bring a touch of old Europe to the tropics.

FAQ
We recommend checking availability as early as possible, especially for peak wedding season. A typical session depends on your needs: wedding coverage usually spans the full event, while lifestyle or family shoots typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours to capture a variety of looks and locations.
Our pricing is transparent but flexible. We offer tailored packages that include professional shooting, high-end editing, and a secure online gallery. Whether it’s a 5-minute cinematic trailer or a 1.5-hour full-length wedding film, we customize the deliverables to fit your vision.
The Dominican Republic is beautiful, but we always stay prepared. We monitor forecasts closely and have established "Plan B" indoor locations at premium venues. If the weather prevents shooting, we offer flexible rescheduling options based on availability to ensure you get the perfect lighting and atmosphere.
Our process starts with a consultation call to discuss your vision. We provide a comprehensive guide covering outfit coordination, makeup tips for the Caribbean climate, and prop suggestions. We encourage you to share your references or a shot list so we can ensure every must-have moment is captured.
We know you're excited to share your memories! We provide a sneak-peek preview shortly after the event. Final high-resolution photos and videos are delivered via a private, password-protected digital gallery. From there, you can download full-size files for high-quality printing or share them directly with family and friends.
To guarantee your date, we require a signed contract and a 50% deposit. This ensures our team is exclusively yours for the day. Our contract clearly outlines our rescheduling and cancellation policies to provide peace of mind and professional security for both parties.
Absolutely. With 10+ years of local experience, we guide you through premium locations like Altos de Chavón or Punta Espada. We assist in navigating the permit requirements for specific resorts and private venues to ensure a smooth, stress-free shooting experience.
Our goal is to make you feel like your most authentic self. Niko and the team provide gentle coaching and direction to find your best angles without making the process feel "staged". Clients frequently mention our friendly, flexible approach that turns a photo session into an enjoyable part of their day.
Each package includes a curated selection of edited, high-resolution images. Professional color correction and standard retouching are included to ensure everyone looks their best. While we deliver final edited versions as our signature product, specific requests regarding RAW files can be discussed during your consultation.
Transparency is key to our 5-star service. We disclose any potential additional costs upfront, such as transportation for remote locations or required venue entry fees/day passes for certain resorts. Your final quote will reflect all agreed-upon expenses so there are no surprises.
