Rivas S. Sent on 09/15/2023The smartest choice was hiring one company for both photography and videography
I am pleased to write this review to express our utmost satisfaction with the exceptional service we received when booking our photography and videography services through Juan’s. Right from the outset, Juan provided us with a comprehensive range of package options, ensuring clarity and transparency in our decision-making process.
What truly stood out was the impeccable level of service we experienced, both prior to booking and throughout the entire event. Juan and his team demonstrated exceptional organization and unwavering support at every step of the way. .
Furthermore, the ability to engage in meaningful conversations with our chosen photographer ahead of the event was invaluable. This open communication allowed us to articulate our expectations and ensure that they were met to perfection.
Opting to hire both the photographer and videographer from the same company was undoubtedly a wise decision. The seamless coordination between the two professionals was evident, and they worked in perfect harmony. On the day of our event, our photographer and videographer arrived punctually, dressed professionally, and radiating enthusiasm to capture every precious moment of our special day.
Their creativity, quick thinking, and patience shone through as they skillfully documented our moments, both posed and candid. Importantly, they did so without intruding on our enjoyment of the day, allowing us to savor the moments that would become cherished memories.
Remarkably, despite not having met them in person prior to the event, our photographer and videographer seamlessly blended in with our guests, becoming an integral part of the celebration. Laughter filled the air as they expertly guided us through poses, corrected wardrobe imperfections, and contributed to an overall wonderful atmosphere.
We are profoundly grateful for their genuine interest, unwavering professionalism, and outstanding skill. Thanks to their incredible work, we now have the privilege of reliving the best day of our lives through the stunning photographs and video footage they captured. Juan's team exceeded our expectations in every way, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking exceptional photography and videography for their special moments. -

Incredible talent!
Choosing to work with Juan was the easiest and best decision we made during our wedding planning! His awesomeness is beyond words but he deserves all of our praises.
From our first phone call, Juan was extremely friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. His team is also very responsive and accessible.
Juan was always a quick text or phone call away and I never felt like I was bothering him.
His expertise was evident as he went through his process and answered my millions of questions. When I was having issues with one of my main vendors, Juan went above and beyond for me!!
He gave me creative ideas/inspiration for the ceremony and reception, eased my anxieties, and even pulled some strings to put me in touch with another great vendor! Juan was crazy sweet and reassuring the entire time.
Meeting JJuan and his team on our wedding day was awesome. They were punctual, professional, and super fun. They involved us and yet stayed “behind the scenes” just enough to capture real moments. When we received our gallery, we were SPEECHLESS!
His skills are absolutely unmatched. Juan, you truly have an amazing gift. Your photos vibrantly captured all of the emotions of the day...the excitement and jitters of getting ready, the overwhelming love during the ceremony, the pure bliss during our solo portraits, and the fun/laughter we shared with our closest loved ones! I often catch myself wanting to relive that day and that is the gift you have given us in these photos.
Each and every one is more perfect than the last. We are so incredibly grateful to have had you by our side and to have these memories on print forever! You are a one of a kind artist. I hope we get to have fun together again in the future! -

There are not enough words for me to possibly cover how great Juan is. After searching through many pictures to find the right photographer for us, I stumbled upon Juan because of his incredible use of natural light with evening pictures. I am SO FREAKING GLAD we went with him. Juan and his team were so much fun to work with. They were professional, straight to the point, and so accommodating (he squeezed us in for a last minute add on of a Trash the Dress session and I am so happy we did it.
I'm currently swooning over the previews that he has sent me, and am so excited to see the rest of the photos! -

Dely Sent on 09/18/2023Beyond Expectations
As a newlywed who recently tied the knot in the breathtaking paradise of Las Terrenas, I cannot contain my excitement to share our extraordinary wedding photography and videography experience. Our special day was nothing short of magical, and a significant part of that magic was captured flawlessly by our incredible photographer and videographer. Their work was not just satisfactory; it was nothing short of astonishing.
From the moment we started planning our destination wedding in Las Terrenas, we knew that capturing the essence of this tropical paradise was a top priority. Our photographer, Juan, immediately stood out during our initial consultations. His portfolio was a testament to his artistry and skill, but what really set him apart was his passion and enthusiasm for capturing love stories in the most stunning way possible.
As the bride, I had the privilege of getting to know Juan and his team better throughout the planning process, and their commitment to excellence shone through every step of the way. They listened carefully to our vision, understood our style, and offered valuable insights to ensure our photos and videos would be nothing short of spectacular.
Our wedding celebration in Las Terrenas spanned four unforgettable days, each filled with a diverse array of activities and experiences.
Day one kicked off with our Welcome Party White Dinner, set against a backdrop of tropical ambiance.
On the second day, we embarked on a luxurious catamaran excursion complete with a lively DJ and delectable snacks on a pristine, secluded beach. This was followed by a refreshing pool party that concluded early, ensuring everyone felt rejuvenated for the day ahead.
The third day was the culmination of our dreams: our wedding day. It was a night filled with surprises, live performances by talented artists, and, of course, a dazzling fireworks display.
And on the fourth day, aptly named our Recovery Day, a skilled chef prepared an assortment of mouthwatering sandwiches and meals from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
On our wedding day, Juan and his team arrived early, capturing the breathtaking sunrise over Las Terrenas, which we later found was a surprise inclusion in our wedding video. This unexpected and beautiful touch exemplified their dedication to going above and beyond. John, with his warm and calming presence, made everyone feel at ease, ensuring that the candid moments, laughter, and tears were all authentically captured.
Our wedding video was a true masterpiece. The cinematic quality, the choice of music, and the seamless editing brought tears to our eyes. It felt like we were reliving our special day all over again, with every emotion and memory perfectly encapsulated in the film.
One of the aspects we appreciated most was that John and his team were like ninjas, blending into the background during our ceremony and reception. They never intruded on the intimate moments but somehow managed to capture every important detail. It's evident that they are not just photographers and videographers; they are storytellers.
Juan's attention to detail was impeccable. He ensured that not only the big moments but also the little things, like the intricate lace on my wedding dress, the delicate flowers in my bouquet, and the joy in our guests' eyes, were all documented beautifully. His ability to capture genuine emotions, from the tears of joy during our vows to the laughter on the dance floor, left us speechless.
In addition to their remarkable talent, Juan and his team were incredibly professional and accommodating. They worked seamlessly with our wedding planner and other vendors, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. They were flexible and adapted to the ever-changing dynamics of a wedding day.
In conclusion, we are beyond grateful to Juan and his team for turning our dream wedding into a visual masterpiece. Their dedication, creativity, and genuine love for what they do were evident in every frame. Our wedding photos and video are not just keepsakes; they are cherished memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.
Thank you, Juan, for making our wedding day in Las Terrenas even more unforgettable with your exceptional work. You truly are the "Lens Whisperer," and we couldn't be happier with the results. -

Hemos tenido una boda pequeña en Las Galeras y hemos decidido contratar a Juan para la fotografia. Realmente es una persona con la que trabajar es muy fácil ya que ha estado atento a cada detalle de la boda. Hemos hecho un shooting unas semanas antes de la boda y ha sido increíble!
Realmente adoramos las fotos que nos ha entregado. Nunca se arrepentirán de elegirlo como fotografo. -

Photos that Tell the Story
When Juan assure that his talent is capture emotions; Oh yes, it is!!! Juan and his team make us feel comfortable in the process. A lot things happening at the same time in your wedding and they are there calming, doing their things, and the result is having the full story of your wedding in pictures. Amazing!! We were so excited with Juan and his team work that we had an unexpected shooting at the beach and we had so much fun. I received the unedited photos to do a selection for editing and the photos as they are look perfect to me. I also want to say that Juan help (mean "did his best") helping my husband with his tuxedo tie, and in the wedding the amazing girl from Juan's team, helped me with anything she noticed I need. Thanks from my heart guys, cant wait to see the end result :) -

Chantal Sent on 08/30/2023A Captured Fairytale: Our Unforgettable Journey Through the Lens
I want to express how truly wonderful it was to work with Juan and his team at my wedding in Las Terrenas. Their work is simply astounding: they captured every special moment with exceptional skill and creativity. From the moment we met them, they exuded incredible kindness and attentiveness. Throughout the wedding, they were friendly and discreet, making us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Their seamless collaboration was impressive; their coordination and cooperation reflected in the final outcome.
Working with them was an absolute pleasure. Not only are they talented professionals, but they're also warm and friendly individuals. Their collaborative approach showcased their expertise in the wedding industry. Their ability to capture the essence and emotions of the day is truly admirable.
Without a doubt, if I had to choose again, I would select them as my photography and videography team. Their professionalism, kindness, and exceptional skills make them an easy choice.
We have had an intense 4-day wedding with different activities in different places and Juan and his team covered all the activities.
We have received more than 3000 photographs, 5 videos and a lot of memories that we will never forget... Thank you for immortalizing our special day in such a beautiful and authentic manner... thank you Juan! -

La boda de mis sueños
How to start?
Organizing my wedding has been a long process, especially since it required many guests to travel to the Dominican Republic to enjoy five incredible days in Las Terrenas, full of different activities. Organizing a remote wedding is really not an easy task, but fortunately, I found a person like Juan.
Although Juan is not a professional wedding planner, he could easily fill that role, as he helped me find various local vendors, plan activities and excursions, and other things.
From the first email he sent us with his proposal, Juan was always very receptive and proactive, which I loved. One aspect that was fundamental for us was being able to fully enjoy our wedding. Therefore, we expressly asked that everything related to photography and video not interrupt our enjoyment, and it did. During the five days packed with activities, we didn't even notice that we had a photography and video team behind us. The result of the material delivered was amazing, and I can't help but get excited every time I see all the images and videos.
As for the video, we hired the services of Teaser, Short-Film and Feature Film. I strongly recommend that you opt for the Feature Film service if your wedding covers more than one day, since many things would be left out of the short-film. Once we received all the videos, we requested the Linear video, which took about 4 months to produce and turned out to be truly wonderful. Having a nearly 2 hour movie with so much material not found in the other videos, including the entire ceremony and speeches, is really special.
I want to express my most sincere gratitude to Juan and his team for all the work they did before, during and after my wedding.
----------------------------
¿Cómo empezar?
La organización de mi boda ha sido un proceso largo, especialmente porque requería que muchos invitados viajaran a la República Dominicana para disfrutar de cinco días increíbles en Las Terrenas, llenos de diferentes actividades. Organizar una boda a distancia realmente no es una tarea sencilla, pero afortunadamente, encontré a una persona como Juan.
A pesar de que Juan no es un organizador de bodas profesional, fácilmente podría desempeñar ese papel, ya que me ayudó a encontrar diversos proveedores locales, planificar actividades y excursiones, entre otras cosas.
Desde el primer correo electrónico que nos envió con su propuesta, Juan se mostró siempre muy receptivo y proactivo, lo cual me encantó. Un aspecto que era fundamental para nosotros era poder disfrutar plenamente de nuestra boda. Por eso, pedimos expresamente que todo lo relacionado con la fotografía y el vídeo no interrumpiera nuestro disfrute, y así sucedió. Durante los cinco días repletos de actividades, ni siquiera notamos que teníamos un equipo de fotografía y vídeo detrás de nosotros. El resultado del material entregado fue asombroso, y no puedo evitar emocionarme cada vez que veo todas las imágenes y vídeos.
En cuanto al vídeo, contratamos los servicios de Teaser, Short-Film y Feature Film. Les recomiendo encarecidamente que opten por el servicio de Feature Film si su boda abarca más de un día, ya que muchas cosas quedarían fuera del short-film. Una vez que recibimos todos los vídeos, solicitamos el vídeo Lineal, que llevó unos 4 meses de producción y resultó ser una auténtica maravilla. Tener una película de casi 2 horas con tanto material que no se encuentra en los otros vídeos, incluyendo la ceremonia completa y los discursos, es realmente especial.
Quiero expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a Juan y a su equipo por todo el trabajo que realizaron antes, durante y después de mi boda. -

My husband and I are still talking about how fabulous it was to work with Juan and his team. They were always on top of things and we never felt like we were standing in front of a camera posing. It was amazing how noninvasive his photography and videography style was. He advertises that he likes to capture raw, real moments and we found that to be VERY true. He was super positive throughout the day even during the extreme heat. He and his team worked really hard to make sure we felt special and that they captured the day. We have worked with other photographers before who made us feel awkward in front of the camera because of the posing they ask us to do, but we felt so comfortable in front of the camera with Juan + his team. Watching Juan direct his team to do certain things was really fascinating to watch because you can tell he has such a passion for this work and seems very genuine while working with others and teaching.
Before our ceremony, I wanted to read the letter from my husband and I think Juan could see I was a little anxious to read it in front of everyone, so he asked them to step out so I could read it alone. It was nice to have that moment to myself where I wasn’t feeling any pressure. Throughout the getting ready process and wedding party photos, he always made it fun and an enjoyable process. He offered suggestions and created a bond between everyone. Our guests left our wedding talking about how amazing our photo/ video team was and how they loved working with them.
During dinner, my husband and I realized we hadn’t seen him in a while and wondered if he was okay. We figured he was probably just eating and didn’t worry about it because his team was still taking pictures and videos as events happened. During our ceremony, Juan surprised us by setting up a projector with ALREADY EDITED photos from our wedding. He provided us with a slideshow of photos with music from us getting ready and our ceremony. This was obviously SUPER unexpected, but it felt really special to already be reflecting on our wedding day before it’s even over. We were overcome with joy, happiness, and pure thankfulness. The photos were absolutely stunning and we were so pleased with our sneak peaks. It felt remarkable to be able to have these moments alongside my family and our best friends.
Throughout the reception, they were ALWAYS there, but never in the way. Juan has a very unique eye for photography and videography and it’s very evident in his work. We are incredibly grateful and eager to see the remaining photos and videos from our big day so we can relive everything!
The next day, we hosted a party boat on a catamaran and Juan and his team were on board to capture the fun. Our guests shared their excitement that they were there after how much they enjoyed working with them the previous night. Everyone was so shocked we had them there and I’m SO glad we did. They captured some really fun moments and beautiful aerial shots using a drone. We have a ton of really fabulous photos where you can see the excitement, the dancing, and the drunkenness (which is hilarious). We were SHOCKED when he sent us the album from the excursion before we even left the DR. He works very hard and quickly. We are beyond excited to have worked with him and would highly recommend and encourage you to book with him if you’re on the fence. Photography and videography were number one on our priority list and I could not imagine anyone else being part of our wedding experience- even through our postponement. If we return to the DR in the future, we will definitely be contacting him for some anniversary photos. -

My husband and I hired Juan Lopez and his team for our Samana, Dominican Republic destination wedding photos and trash the dress shoot. We are from Canada, and were hesitant to hire a local photographer but I am very glad we found Juan. From our initial e-mails until the wedding day Juan was always professional and helpful with all my questions. He and his team are so passionate for what they do and the results show this. Not only are the photos amazing, but the experience of working with Juan for the two days were very enjoyable for us. Through him, we learned so much about the local area and culture. Gracias por todo! -

Alissa Sent on 08/13/2019Juan and team made our wedding more special!
When my husband and I began to look for photographers for our destination wedding in Punta Cana DR, I knew ultimately it would be my husband's decision as he is the "photographer" of the family. After talking to numerous photographers, I knew in the first few minutes listening to the conversation Juan and my husband had that Juan and his team would be the one for us. From the moment we interacted with Juan our minds were put to ease. He not only went above and beyond to answer every question but he thoughtfully offered his advice and helpful tips for the wedding. He helped us decide on our officiant for the wedding and with his help we had the absolute best officiant marrying us.
During the ten months before our wedding Juan stayed in contact and as our wedding day approached closer I felt like Juan was more our friend than photographer. On the day of our wedding Juan and his team arrived promptly and got right to work. Everyone on his team was friendly and engaging and never said no to anything we asked! Juan interacted with both sets of parents and the entire bridal party. Everyone remembers how funny Juan was. His team did not even feel in the way. It was very natural for them to be there to take photos and interact with all our vendors. On the day of the wedding Juan was my biggest advocate to have fun and enjoy the moment. All while still capturing every tear and smile our wedding had. Thank you to Juan and Team for making our wedding day even more memorable and for providing us with amazing photography and videography services that we will cherish forever! -

Juan was so great to work with! He’s extremely personable And we felt like we had known him for years!
His photography is so unique because he captures so many magical moments throughout the day, candid moments, that you cannot re-enact or re-create.
Poses are nice but standard and expected, Juan Lopez Spratt photography is anything but ordinary! -

I can’t praise this man enough. Between Juan’s larger then life personality, absolutely amazing skills as a photographer/videographer and his phenomenal team (Lola,Carlos & Henry), you will NOT regret hiring them. Planning a destination wedding has its challenges and stressors. I can say off our 1st email with Juan we knew we were in excellent hands. After the wedding we were proven right, if it wasn’t for Juan and his team our wedding could have been a disaster. No thanks to Barcelo Bavaro Palace and their incompetent wedding planner Francis Berra.
Since we planed on venturing around DR before our wedding we took the opportunity to plan a “Trash the Dress”(TTD) in the gorgeous beach town of Las Terrenas. Now, we could tell from his emails how passionate he is about photography, meeting with him takes it to a whole other level. Juan lights up like a Christmas tree when talking about his craft, gadgets & toys. We spoke about our vision for the wedding & the TTD session. By the end we literally gave him all reins on whatever he wanted to do and what would be best for our special day. For our TTD, Juan chose our location & we were just blown away of how beautiful it was.
The entire process was extremely easy and fun. Juan completely captured our love naturally.
The day of our wedding Juan stepped in and went into planning mode throughout the day and evening (since our wedding planner was MIA). Even with that wrench thrown in Juan and his team captured the most beautiful and intimate moments with our family and friends. We are beyond grateful to them and can not wait to see our video & the rest of our photos. Juan’s energy and emotion for his work & for life in general is contagious, and it is a joy to be around him. You will not regret having them for your special day.

I cannot say enough about Juan Lopez. This man is truly gifted. When he says he is not like other wedding photographers he is being 100% honest. He truly captures emotions and feelings in his work that are so in the moment it is crazy! From our first phone conversation, I knew I was in good hands. I spent 2 months looking for a photographer whose work I really connected with. When I saw his work I thought I would never be able to afford him. His rates and packages are great and he works with you to craft a package that works for your budget. Juan Lopez and his team bring such an amazing energy. They are professional and the drone is the coolest thing I have ever seen! I loved how he executed the shots he wanted to take. To watch him work was really cool. The most wonderful part of the night is when Juan surprised us and our family with a slideshow of pictures taken during the day. They were simply stunning! A couple of days later we received about 20 sneak peek photos which were breathtaking and we cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and video from that day. Thank you, Juan, for capturing our special day
