The most perfect photos and the Best photography team!

I'd like to start by saying how much I would recommend Junior Cruz, and his team to anyone looking for a great wedding photography team! From the first email, to every breathtaking photo captured on our beautiful wedding day, and the absolutely impressive turn around time on our photos saying we were impressed isn’t saying enough. Junior Cruz and his team pay attention to detail and are absolutely amazing to work with from starting to finish. I had no doubt we made the right choice! Thank you for making me feel like a beautiful bride, for capturing the most amazing candid moments which holds so much emotion from the day that we will always be able to look back on, and a huge thank you for being so easy to work with!

Made Me Feel Beautiful Again

Getting our sneak peeks back from Junior Cruz Weddings completely blew us away. Looking through them, I kept thinking how grateful I am that our planner encouraged us to keep our full photography and videography package because it was worth every penny.

I’ve always felt awkward taking photos, and being postpartum, I was especially nervous. I didn’t feel like myself and was honestly scared I would look tired, bigger, awkward, or just not feel beautiful in my photos. That was a huge fear going into the day. But Junior completely changed that for me.

From the moment we started taking photos, he was so professional and gave so much direction that I never once felt uncomfortable. Everything felt natural, easy, and fun. He made me, my husband, and my friends feel relaxed, and we were genuinely laughing and enjoying ourselves because of his energy.

There was one moment while he was taking photos of me in my dress where he wanted to show me a shot on his camera, and I was honestly nervous to look. But when I saw it, it completely changed everything for me. For the first time postpartum, I felt beautiful again, and that feeling carried through the rest of the wedding day. That moment meant so much to me.

He also helped so much with the timeline and keeping everything moving, which made the day feel smooth and stress-free. He accommodated last-minute photo requests, made sure we got photos with all of our guests, and was so easy to work with the entire time. He also created really special moments with our parents that we’ll treasure forever.

We also booked videography, and his team was amazing. The videography felt seamless, fun, and natural, and their energy was incredible. I can't wait to relive these moments.

We just got our sneak peeks back (less than two weeks after the wedding!), and I am so impressed. I’m very picky about editing, and they are absolutely beautiful. He captured both timeless, traditional shots and editorial-style photos, which I love. He even caught moments I didn’t realize he was taking.

If you want someone who makes you feel comfortable, confident, and truly captures you at your best, Junior Cruz Weddings is it.

Our wedding photos were perfect!

Junior & his team were amazing from the time we booked them. They had a Black
Friday special for Kukua brides. They were communicative, responsive, and made sure we knew what to expect from their services. I started following them on instagram to view their work and was always amazed by the photos they posted, so I never doubted their work or their services.

The day of the wedding, Junior was SO attentive, he was always directing & guiding me and the bridal party. I had no idea what poses I wanted or what I wanted my photos to look like and I trusted his eye and his vision. Im not used to being the center of attention and I’m somewhat camera shy, but Junior and his team were on top of it! It was never awkward because he made sure to always direct me, while thinking of the next poses for us to do. They made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera. We booked them for 8 hours and had them until the end of our reception. They were always around, making sure they were getting the best shots of us and our guests. We received all of our photos within 3 weeks and they were BEAUTIFUL. They made sure to capture every detail and every moment from the night. I can’t wait to see our video, which they said typically takes 8-9 weeks, but I know it’s going to be perfect.

Wonderful Experience!!! Our Wedding was Captured perfectly!

We got married on December 11th, 2025, and truly had the most beautiful, meaningful, and unforgettable day of our lives. Marrying my best friend, Jason, was everything I had ever dreamed of—and more. What makes it even more special is how perfectly our photography and videography team captured not just how the day looked, but how it felt. Every time we go back to our photos and videos, we’re transported right back into those moments, and it means the world to us.

Our pre-wedding shoot with Ricardo was such a highlight leading up to the big day. Jason and I had never done a professional photoshoot together before, so we were a little nervous and unsure at first—but Ricardo immediately put us at ease. He brought such a warm, fun energy that completely changed the experience for us. We went from feeling a bit awkward to genuinely enjoying ourselves, laughing, and just being present together. He captured the most beautiful, natural moments that we will cherish forever. Beyond his talent behind the camera, Ricardo was also incredibly kind—sharing thoughtful words and meaningful advice about marriage that we will always remember. The entire team was so accommodating and patient as well; we were running a little late, and not once did we feel rushed or stressed. That level of understanding meant so much. We would absolutely book Ricardo again in a heartbeat and will be requesting him when we’re back in the Dominican.

On our wedding day, we had Vlad and his team, and they were equally amazing in their own way. Vlad brought a calm, focused presence that was exactly what we needed. He was incredibly attentive to every detail and made sure we got all the shots we had hoped for—and more. His ability to seamlessly work alongside the videography team was so impressive; everything felt smooth, intentional, and perfectly coordinated. When we received our photos and videos, we were honestly in awe. Watching everything back felt surreal—it was like reliving the entire day, every emotion, every little moment, all over again.

We are so deeply grateful to this entire team for giving us memories we will treasure for a lifetime. Their talent, professionalism, kindness, and care truly made all the difference. If you’re considering them for your wedding or any special moment, we cannot recommend them enough.

Phenomenal Experience & Stunning Photos!

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience working with Junior Cruz Weddings for our destination wedding. From start to finish, their team was professional, organized, and incredibly talented.

What truly stood out was their ability to give clear and natural direction throughout the day. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which made a huge difference in how relaxed and confident we looked in our photos. Nothing felt forced—they knew exactly how to guide us while still capturing genuine, candid moments.

When we received our photos, we were blown away. Every image was beautifully captured, from the big moments to the smallest details. They truly brought our entire wedding day back to life, and we’ve received countless compliments from family and friends on how stunning everything turned out.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is easy to work with, highly professional, and delivers exceptional results, we highly recommend Junior Cruz Weddings. We are so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly.

BEST Photography/Videography Team!

I have no complaints with Junior Cruz Wedding Group! I actually wish I booked extra time to have more of their gorgeous work! However, I am very satisfied with the package I chose including 8-hour coverage for both photography & content creation collection - it was worth it! They were accommodating, communicative, organized, personable, & patient on my perfect day. ❤️

Junior Cruz Superhero!!

Three words you need to remember if you want an amazing wedding photographer who is ultra professional, superb at his job and goes above and beyond what is expected during the whole wedding day experience. 'BOOK JUNIOR CRUZ' This guy is a legend. He totally blew us away with his skills on the day. Not only did he take the most amazing photo's he was also instrumental in making the wedding run like clockwork. He clearly works very closely with the wedding coordinators at the hotel and made us feel relaxed at all times which I think showed in the photos. We can't thank Junior and his colleague enough for making our wedding day better than we ever imagined!!

Finest Punta Cana wedding

Our wedding photographer was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely comfortable and truly took the time to understand our vision. On the wedding day, they captured every moment so naturally—nothing felt forced, and somehow they managed to be everywhere without ever being in the way.

The photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. Every image brings us right back to the emotion and energy of the day, and we’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture candid moments is unmatched.

We genuinely couldn’t imagine having anyone else document such a special day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and an absolute joy to work with, look no further. We are beyond grateful and will treasure these photos forever!
