HELLO
I’m Keyris a refined and editorial wedding photographer based in Montreal, specializing in local and destination weddings, as well as luxury elopements. With over 8 years of experience, I bring a unique and detailed eye to every love story, capturing moments that are authentic, timeless, and sophisticated.
As a dreamer and a determined, persistent woman, I find inspiration in the beauty of genuine connections and the natural world.
Whether it’s a quiet glance, a joyful laugh, or a breathtaking backdrop, I aim to preserve the magic of your special day through storytelling and fine art photography.
While I call Montreal home, my passion for capturing love stories has taken me across Canada and beyond including destination weddings in the Dominican Republic, as well as cities like Toronto and Ottawa. My services extend to both local and international weddings, ensuring that no matter where your love takes you, I can be there to document it.
Outside of photography, I’m a landscaper, chess player, and animal lover. These facets of my life enrich my perspective and approach to photography, allowing me to connect deeply with the stories I tell.
How about this…
Picture yourself walking barefoot on soft white sand on your wedding day, with the sea breeze playing with your dress and the golden light of the Caribbean making every moment feel beautiful.

Talented photographers from Canada and the region
If you want to hire a Dominican Republic wedding photographer or a Canadian wedding photographer in the Dominican Republic, you may find talented photographers that specialize in capturing the mood of beach weddings and elopements (just like me).
Playa Macao is the best beach in the Dominican Republic for wedding photos. It’s where raw beauty meets romance
Playa Macao is a popular spot for locals and a photographer’s fantasy for destination weddings. It is in Punta Cana. Picture golden dunes, calm waters, and gigantic boulders that seem like they are poised to collapse. It’s great for couples who want a mix of wild beauty and beach charm.
Why it’s so good:
- Not as many people as beaches in resorts
- Waves and dunes that move in pictures are beautiful.
- Perfect for Dominican Republic wedding photographers
Playa Blanca: Style and Privacy
As part of the Punta Cana Resort & Club, Playa Blanca is a private beach with great clean sand. People who want to get married in the Caribbean on white sand with calm blue waves should go to this beach. Tip: Have your ceremony around sunset to add some charm to the golden hour.
Playa Rincón: A Hidden Paradise in Samaná
Playa Rincón is a beautiful, green paradise with more than three kilometres of beach. People say it’s one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (I have seen it and its true). It is great for modest elopements and romantic wedding photos in the Dominican Republic. Here’s a hint: a drone session here will blow your mind.
A Caribbean paradise, Isla Saona
Island Saona is a protected nature area that can be reached by boat from Bayahibe in a short time. A super funny adventure to live. It has beautiful white-sand beaches, palm trees that sway in the wind, and shallow blue water that makes for fun and lively picture shoots. You may even do a photo session on a boat or in the shallow water where you “trash the dress.”
Juanillo Beach is elegant, calm, and attractive
There is a nice relaxed vibe at this isolated beach near Cap Cana. It’s great for people who want to be married on a private beach or take beautiful and different pictures away from the crowds.
Bahía de las Águilas
For those who are brave and want to try new things Bahía de las Águilas in Pedernales is not a destination that most visitors want to visit. It is really dramatic, clean, and beautiful. Getting here takes a little effort, but the result is wedding photos that seem like they came from a magazine.
If you wish to do this, here is the spot for you:
- Not many places have Caribbean vibes like this.
- Unique and fun wedding pictures
- A quiet and natural place
It doesn’t have to be hard to plan a wedding at the beach on the beautiful island of the Dominican Republic. I’ll give you some tips to make it easier for you.
- Choose the Right Time of Year The best months are December through April, which is the dry season.
- Get a Professional Photographer
You need someone who can handle the tropical conditions and make every photo seem real. No matter where they are from, a wedding photographer has to have a lot of experience.
- Pick garments that are light and let air flow through them.
Pick fabrics that move and flow nicely in the wind. If it’s windy at the beach, chiffon, linen, and lace are nice fabrics to use.
- Bring the Right Stuff
- A lot of tropical blooms
- A shawl or veil that the wind blows through
- A second pair of shoes or sandals to wear without shoes
- A little towel and some makeup to touch up
- Enjoy the lovely views
Your images should show off the natural beauty of the beach you chose. The palm palms, the ocean’s reflections, the tidal pools, the driftwood, and the shoreline all form beautiful frames.
