Whether you are planning a grand affair with hundreds of guests or an intimate gathering with just your closest family and friends, it will be a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. As a photographer, it is not only my job but also my privilege to capture these moments for you to look back on for years to come. The details of your wedding may fade over time, but the photographs will always remain. They will serve as a time capsule, transporting you back to the exact moment you said "I do" and allowing you to relive the emotions and excitement of that day. From the first kiss as a married couple to the joyful expressions of your loved ones, every moment captured on camera will tell a unique and beautiful story.
Your wedding day is a story waiting to be told. You want a photographer who understands this and will artfully document every chapter, from the grand gestures to the intimate glances, creating a timeless narrative of your love.

The fear whispers: Will my photos truly capture us?
Beyond the Pose: Authentic Wedding Photography That Reflects Your True Connection
Will they reflect the laughter we share, the stolen glances we exchange, the quiet moments of connection that define our love? At Viva Por Ti Photography, we understand this fear. That's why we prioritize connection. We take the time to get to know you, to understand your unique love story, and to build a genuine rapport.

We'll weave together a collection of images that truly reflects the heart and soul of your relationship, preserving the memories you'll cherish forever.
"I'LL BOOK WITH VIVA AGAIN AND AGAIN"
I booked Dominique for full wedding coverage, and let me just tell you how at ease she made me feel throughout the entire day. Now I realize why she says it’s so important to connect with your photographer. I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else besides her. She knew what I needed before I even said anything. She helped with my dress, kept my family on task, and even noticed details that I wouldn’t have noticed. Dominique is the wedding photographer you need!
Viva's Photography Style...
What makes a wedding truly special? Is it the beautiful decor, the delicious food, or the company of loved ones? While all of these elements add to the magic of the day, there is one aspect that stands out above the rest - photography.
But what sets one photography style apart from the rest? For us, it's all about capturing your day in true-to-life tones with an appropriate dose of moodiness. Our photography style is not just a technique, it's our elevator pitch - a quick and concise way to describe who we are and what we do.
However, there's more to our style than just a catchy phrase. With seven years of experience under our belt, we've honed our skills to capture each wedding as a unique story. We don't believe in cookie-cutter approaches, instead, we want to portray your love story exactly as you're telling it. That's what makes our photography style stand out - it's personal, it's authentic, and it's all about your love.
What truly sets us apart is our signature spice. We believe that every love story has its unique flavor, and we want to bring that out in our photos. Whether it's a touch of humor, a hint of romance, or a dash of adventure, we strive to showcase your personalities and your love in every photo.

"SHE MADE US LAUGH AND SHOWED INTEREST IN US AS A COUPLE, ESPECIALLY OUR QUIRKS."
My Husband and I booked Viva for our wedding and engagement photos. We can't say enough about Dominique! Since the first day we met with her over zoom, after a word-of-mouth recommendation, to our engagement photos and most importantly our big day... she has been amazing! We knew she would be a great fit for us as we started talking with her. It was so important that we had a great bond with our photographer in order to avoid feeling uncomfortable when taking photos. She made it all feel like a breeze and we had so much fun at that! She made us laugh and showed interest in us as a couple, especially our individual quirks. We love how she was able to capture our pure, real, love in the images; all natural, nothing posed and fake. You can really see our individual personalities and chemistry with each other just by looking at the photos. Each image brings us back to one of the best days of our lives and all the events leading up to it. We thought it was impossible to stop time but Dominque has made it possible! Capturing life's most beautiful moments in a single shot! We love her and highly recommend her to anyone!!

FAQ
Where are you based and do you travel?
Based in beautiful Rhode Island, I'm a photographer who thrives on the energy of beaches, cities, and mountains—and I'm always ready to travel to your happy place! Travel isn't just a buzzword for me—it's a way of life. Since my first plane ride or road trip, exploring new places has fueled my spirit and creativity. It's not about building a fancy portfolio; it's about capturing the raw emotions that come alive when people connect with nature. I know that feeling intimately, and it's what drives my passion for photography. Witnessing and capturing your love story in an epic location is an absolute thrill. Whether it's an elopement or a destination wedding, I'm here to create images that reflect the magic of the moment. To ensure I can give each client my full attention, I only accept a limited number of destination weddings and elopements per year. Once those spots are filled, I close my bookings, so don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested!
Can we see full wedding galleries?
You bet! I'm glad you asked. Understanding how your selected photographer covers an entire wedding day will ensure satisfaction with their capture and editing of reception photos, indoor photos, and more.
What do you travel fees include?
My pricing includes all travel expenses within the region of the country or international destination. I take care of my travel to make it easy for you, without any hidden fees. For events within Rhode Island, there are minimal travel fees for distances beyond 60 miles. For events outside Rhode Island, my travel expenses include a roundtrip flight, at least 2 nights of hotel stay, and a rental car. If your event requires more than these general travel plans, I can provide a custom travel quote.
We're not comfortable with the camera...
I hear this all the time and it's my job to help you feel comfortable! Many of the couples you see on my website and social media have never had professional photos taken before, so you can trust that I will help bring out the best in you.
