A Majestic Elegance Wedding in Punta Cana
Some weddings chase a trend. Others go for something that will still look beautiful in fifty years.
Kaylie and Alessio's day was firmly the second kind. Classic, elegant, all white and green, the kind of timeless destination wedding that never goes out of style. They chose Majestic Elegance Punta Cana, said their vows under a flower-covered gazebo on the beach, and celebrated with the people they love most. We had the honor of capturing all of it.
Here's how their day unfolded.
Why Couples Love Getting Married at Majestic Elegance
Majestic Elegance is one of Punta Cana's most popular resorts for weddings, and it's easy to see why. Its signature white beach gazebo is one of the most recognizable ceremony settings in Punta Cana, an elegant, romantic frame with the turquoise Caribbean right behind it.
For a couple after timeless elegance, it's hard to beat. And for photography, that classic white-and-green palette against the blue of the ocean makes for images that feel clean, bright, and forever.
How Their Day Unfolded
The Morning: Getting Ready
Kaylie's morning was all soft, elegant details: white heels with delicate pearl straps, a bouquet of crisp white roses and baby's breath, and a beautiful newspaper-style invitation that read "Love is in the air." Even the little touches, the gold vintage ring box, the matching "Bride" and "Groom" caps, carried the same refined, timeless feel.
She got ready in a strapless gown with her hair in a soft high updo and a long veil, backlit by the window in that quiet, luminous light before the day begins.
A First Look to Remember
Before the ceremony, Kaylie and Alessio shared a private moment that's become one of our favorite traditions to photograph: a back-to-back first look. Standing on either side of a column in the resort's elegant archways, they read letters to each other, close enough to feel each other there, without seeing each other yet.
It's the kind of quiet, emotional pause that a wedding day rarely allows, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
The Ceremony
They said their vows on the beach, beneath the iconic Majestic gazebo, transformed with cascading white florals and greenery, white drapery lifting in the ocean breeze. The sky was a brilliant blue, the sea stretched out behind them, and their closest people looked on from just a few rows away.
And then the kiss, framed perfectly by that flower-covered gazebo, the veil catching the wind, the whole beach behind them. It's the kind of moment that makes the classic settings classic for a reason.
The Celebration
From the beach, the celebration moved indoors to an elegant reception, where the timeless white palette carried through the evening, dinner, dancing, and toasts with the people who traveled to be part of their day
Planning Your Own Majestic Elegance Wedding
Majestic Elegance is one of our favorite venues in Punta Cana, and we know its beach gazebo and elegant spaces well. A few honest tips if you're considering it:
Lean into the classic. The white gazebo is timeless for a reason. A clean, elegant palette photographs beautifully here.
Consider a first look. Like Kaylie and Alessio, many couples find it gives them a private, emotional moment and takes pressure off the timeline.
Book your photographer early. The best destination photographers get reserved 12 to 18 months out.
Time your ceremony around the light. Start about an hour and a half before sunset so there's time for the ceremony and portraits while the light is still beautiful
