Ratchel & Paul

Punta Cana Destination Wedding

“We can't say enough good things about Bryan & Kayla — they are truly incredible! From the start, they went above and beyond for us. Not only did they fly to another country, putting their own lives on hold, but they made sure we felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day. Despite the stress of a last-minute venue change due to a hurricane, they reassured us and handled everything with professionalism and care.
Their kindness, hard work, and dedication really set them apart. Every video they produce is nothing short of a masterpiece, beautifully capturing the essence of the day. We wholeheartedly recommend Bryan and his team to other brides and grooms—you will not be disappointed! We would book them again and again without hesitation.”

About the Wedding

Some wedding days go exactly as planned. And some — like Ratchel and Paul’s — become legendary for how beautifully they come together despite the unexpected.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Dreams Macao Beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Ratchel and Paul gathered their closest family and friends for a full wedding weekend: pool parties, late-night laughter, and a celebration of deep, genuine relationships. The vibe was vibrant, joyful, and intimate — a reflection of who they are together.

When a Category 4 hurricane brushed past the island on their wedding day, it could have rewritten the story. But instead, it became part of what made the weekend unforgettable. Thanks to the incredible vendor team, a calm mindset, and backup plans behind every backup, the celebration continued almost without a hitch — including a rescheduled reception that turned into one of the best parties of the weekend.

Through it all, Ratchel’s bright, contagious energy and Paul’s steady calm were the perfect match — not just for each other, but for the atmosphere of the entire weekend. My unobtrusive approach allowed their real moments to shine through: spontaneous laughter, heartfelt embraces, and dance floors that didn’t miss a beat.

In the end, the hurricane didn’t dampen their day — it made the story stronger. And it’s a story they’ll be telling — and reliving — for a lifetime.
