Wedding Photographer in Santo Domingo

FAQ

Frequently asked

• How much does it cost to get married at the Primada Cathedral?

  The Cathedral's own fee (separate from photography) is commonly cited around RD$30,000, and booking the date up to a year in advance is recommended given demand. Both spouses need a valid ID, and the couple's parents plus the padrino and madrina are also asked for theirs. These requirements and amounts are set directly by the Cathedral — we recommend confirming the current fee by calling their office (809-682-3848) before booking. Our wedding photography packages for a ceremony here start from $920 USD.

• Do you cover religious weddings at the Primada Cathedral?

  Yes. We know the photographic restrictions during the liturgy (no flash during consecration, positions agreed with the priest) and work silently so as not to disrupt the ceremony.

• Can you do the couple session in the Colonial Zone on the same day?

  Yes. After the ceremony we coordinate an hour at Plaza España, Calle Las Damas, or Alcázar de Colón before the reception cocktail. It's one of the city's most photogenic backdrops.

• What are the wedding reception possibilities near the Primada Cathedral?

  The Cathedral sits right in the heart of the Colonial Zone, so most couples do the couple session right there (Plaza España, Calle Las Damas) and then travel to the reception — typically a 10-20 minute drive. The most common options are Casas del XVI (boutique, inside the Colonial Zone, the closest option), JW Marriott Santo Domingo in Piantini (large-scale ballrooms), Hilton Santo Domingo overlooking the Malecón, or Hotel El Embajador with its gardens. We coordinate the full itinerary — ceremony, couple session, and transfer — so photo coverage doesn't lose continuity between locations.
