Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana Wedding / Gloria & Freddy

Gloria & Freddy’s Punta Cana Beach Wedding Photos

This Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana wedding was a pleasure to photograph. It was a stunning destination wedding in Dominican Republican. My friend and colleague from Univision WLTV 23, Gloria Ordaz, tied the knot with Freddy Balsera. Dozens of friends and family travelled to take part in the gorgeous beach wedding ceremony at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana. The couple greated their guests with a welcoming “White Party” the night before the BIG DAY. We took advantage of several unique amenities, such as the Hard Rock Hotel Spa lobby, and breathtaking gardens, to take some amazing portraits of this beautiful couple. Their wedding day was truly a celebrity affair. Gloria wore a stunning dress by Oscar de la Renta from Ever After Miami, in Coconut Grove. We are honored to have been able to capture every magical moment. Enjoy!!!
