About

LizArtStudio Photography is a wedding photography service based in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

The reason I am a photographer remains the same for me even after 18 years of work – to preserve memories, to bottle them, just like dandelion wine, and then, with time, to enjoy every sweet drop.

Each shot is unique for me because YOU are unique, because the moment, which will never happen again, is unique. You are together with your beloved, friends and family. You have come thousands of miles to a new country to breathe in a different air full of new impressions. And finally, it's your Big Day!

_______


If we are going to work together, we need to be on the same wavelength or catch the same wave, as we say here.

Let me begin.

My name is Lisa. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, the “capital of culture”, as people say. I lived there almost all my life, graduated from the fine art school at the Hermitage Museum, and in 2003 I started working as a professional photographer on movie sets. My long journey through cinematography with the best directors of photography was the greatest school for lighting and beauty. I watched and learned every day as beautiful shots were created right in front of my eyes.

Then in 2011 and the new wind blew into my sails, and I moved to the Dominican Republic. This was really a random decision that changed my life completely.

And now it’s your turn. Tell us about yourself and how we can help you with this “bottling process”…

Absolutely perfect

Working with Elizaveta was a dream come true. From the moment I reached out months before my wedding until the end of my big day she was there whenever needed. She made everyone from the wedding party to the guests feel so included in our day. She matched our crazy energy and even brought more herself. She was absolutely incredible. And to top it all of the photos are indescribable. She captured out day better than I could have ever imagined. I cannot recommend her enough 💕

#1 photography in the DR

Writing this review feels like writing my vows all over again - I’m speechless.

There isn’t a way to describe how truly magnificent Lisa and her team were. They were kind, on time and kept my wedding running smoothly. The amazing pictures they delivered were the whip cream and cherry on top. Each photo left me absolutely speechless and I’ve only gotten the sneak peaks.

They helped me pose to give each photo in my dress that wow factor and directed every single family shot with ease. She even managed to get some smiling shots of my husband who refuses to smile in photos.

True professionals that have perfected their craft.
It was an honor to have them capturing my big day. If you’re in the DR and need a wedding photographer please let this be your sign to go with Lisa.

The best photographer that we could of asked for!

We had the best experience with Liz!! We couldn't be happier with the results of every single picture. She is professional and knows exactly what she is doing. I would recommend her to everyone that I know!
She was available for us before the wedding and always there for us on the day of the wedding. She went beyond her job to make the day special and memorable for us and our guests.
She listened to what we wanted and executed without hesitation. I wouldn't of had a perfect day without her!
Thank you everything!!! You have a piece of our heart forever!

10/10 Recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot recommend Lisa and the entire LizArt Studio team enough.

As someone planning a destination wedding from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, choosing a photographer was one of the most important decisions I made. I spent over three months researching photographers in Punta Cana, carefully reviewing portfolios, reading reviews, and comparing styles. The moment I came across Lisa’s work, I knew she was the photographer I wanted for our wedding day.

From our very first meeting, Lisa was organized, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. Throughout the entire planning process, she communicated clearly, provided helpful guidance, and created a photography timeline that was thoughtful, detailed, and perfectly suited to our day. Every photo opportunity was planned with purpose, and everything flowed seamlessly.

On the wedding day, Lisa was absolutely outstanding. She was attentive, professional, calm, and fully on top of every detail from start to finish. Having never met our photographer in person before the wedding, putting my trust in someone from afar was a leap of faith—but Lisa and her team exceeded every expectation we had.

What impressed me most was how comfortable and confident she made us feel throughout the entire experience. She brought such a sense of calm and reassurance to the day, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment while knowing we were in great hands.

The sneak peeks alone left us speechless. My husband has been showing them to all of his friends because he simply cannot get over how incredible they are. Every image captures the emotion, beauty, and joy of our wedding so perfectly.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, organized, and genuinely cares about her couples, Lisa is the one. Choosing LizArt Studio was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I would work with Lisa again in a heartbeat.

Photographer that feels like family!

We cannot recommend LizArtStudio enough! We knew from the get-go that we wanted to work with Lisa before even booking our venue! From our very first call with Lisa, she took the time to really get to know us, our vision, and what we wanted our wedding day to feel like, not just look like. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but Lisa made the entire process feel easy, organized, and honestly fun!
You can immediately tell she’s been in the wedding industry for years because she knows EVERYTHING. She was incredibly professional, responsive, and detail-oriented, but also brought such a fun, calming energy that made us feel comfortable right away. At times, she honestly felt more like a wedding planner than just our photographer! She helped create our timeline, guided us through the flow of the day, and even knew our resort better than we did. We provided her with a family shot list and let her take care of the rest. She wrangled our rowdy group with ease and kept us on track throughout the day.
Her experience and organization gave us so much peace of mind, and her team was just as wonderful to work with. They made us feel relaxed, confident, and excited throughout the entire experience. I think for us, having a wedding that felt natural and not rehearsed was super important, and Lisa and her team helped us accomplish that and because of her, we were able to live in the moment and enjoy our wedding day and reflect back on raw emotion in our photos.
Anna and Aleksei had our guests RAVING about the use of the drone for the amazing aerial shots and group photos! They had so many fun, creative and artistic ideas for us that we truly had the best time. Our favorite was probably the impromptu champagne pop and spray that had our guests. They really know how to bring the party!
We told Lisa and her team that we envisioned our wedding as “beautifully organized chaos,” and they absolutely delivered. She captured the raw moments, the little details, the big lifts, the late-night dance moves, and everything in between. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire weekend exactly as it felt. Each part of the day was beautifully captured from the slow morning, to the getting ready with the girls, the moments with mom, our first look, the intimate ceremony, to getting the party started! Our photos tell a story that words can not describe.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, organized, experienced, and genuinely fun to be around, Lisa and her team are the dream. We are beyond grateful we found LizArtStudio!

DR 2/7/26 wedding pic review

We had the pleasure of working with Lizartstudio for our wedding in the DR, and I truly cannot recommend Lisa and her team enough! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing.

The pictures and video came out beyond beautiful — every moment was captured so perfectly, and looking through them brings back all the emotions from our special day. Their attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism really stood out.

What impressed us the most was how dedicated Lisa and her team were throughout the wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure they captured every single moment, big and small, without missing a thing. They made us feel comfortable, cared for, and truly special the entire day.

We are beyond pleased with everything and so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. Thank you Lisa and the entire Lizartstudio team, for your incredible work! 🫶

Absolutely Breathtaking Wedding Photos!

We just received our sneak peak photos, and we absolutely love them! The quality is amazing, and I feel like we were in a magazine. Lisa and her team beautifully captured our destination wedding.

I don't usually like to take photos, but Lisa made me feel very comfortable on my wedding day! Her communication/professionalism is fantastic and I highly recommend that you get the drone package for AMAZING beach photos.

If you're planning a destination wedding, and stressing over finding a photographer just book LizArtStudio, and you won't regret it!

LizArtStudio


LizArtStudio was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly special throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail was incredible — she captured every smile, every tear, every laugh, and all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening.

When we received our sneak peek photo in less than a week, we were completely blown away. Every picture told a story and perfectly captured the love, joy, and emotions of our wedding day.

The quality, creativity, and care she put into her work exceeded every expectation we had.

Not only is she unbelievably talented, but she is also kind, professional, patient, and passionate about what she does. She helped make our wedding day even more memorable, and we will cherish these photos forever.

If you are looking for someone who truly cares about capturing your special moments perfectly, we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for giving us memories we will treasure for a lifetime!

Best vendor, ever!

Liz's work speaks for itself! Her photography and attention to detail are impeccable. What you don't see from looking at all of her beautiful imagery is that she is SO kind and helpful and so incredibly easy to work with.

Doing an international wedding, there was a lot we didn't know. We assumed we should get married at our resort. Liz did not try to talk us out of doing that - she did not pressure us at all - but she made us aware of some other options that might be a better fit for us and save us money. Because of Liz, we pivoted from a crowded resort beach where we were getting up-charged for literally everything to a private beach with a coordinator that had upfront and all-inclusive pricing.

When we arrived into the Dominican, I realized I hadn't confirmed my timeline with Liz, so I sent her a pretty panicked email about the day and she wrote back with the kindest message - that she was in touch with our coordinator, everything was all set, and I should not stress about anything.

On the day of the wedding, Liz and her team (videographer and drone pilot) were amazing. They caught every detail and gave lots of constructive instructions for how to pose to look more natural (which my husband and I both very much needed).

I cried when we got our photos. They are beyond what I could have even hoped for. I can not thank Liz (and team) enough for giving us these beautiful keepsakes that we will cherish forever.

I would pick Liz again a million times over. Best vendor, ever!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
