Google Bavaro Princess and see if you can find their main site let alone images of the resort. The only thing I can ever find is a picture of the beach. Anyway, these are images of the all inclusive resort we stayed at and where the wedding was, the Bavaro Princess in Punta Cana. The last shot is included because of the fire extinguisher image. 2 days before we got to the resort, 3 of the 7 restaurants burned to the ground. No joke. Buildings made of tea leaves and faulty electrical wiring seem to make for a bad combination.

Now wait a second....HOW did you get that peacock picture. Seriously? There was a peacock standing there, feathers out and everything?? You gotta be kidding me!
Ok, here's the story on the peacock. I saw a handful of them on the resort. The males were always trying to mate with the females and when they do that, they put the feathers out and face it directly at the female and then make this vibration like a humming noise. I got pretty close to one of them. He put his feathers down and just stared at me. I was going to walk away but I decided to stay and just stand there. I crouched down and then all of the sudden he put up his feathers and made that noise at me.
I think he was trying to mate with me...no joke.
for those who might care, here is the technical info for this wedding:
everything except the formals of the bride and groom and family formals on the beach were shot on Nikon f5 bodies. 50mm 1.4, 20mm 1.8, 70-200 2.8 though the majority of everything is shot on the 50mm. formals on a Bronica ETRSi with a plethora of 220 backs and the 75mm 2.8 lens. a holga and a yashica mat 124-g twin lens reflex camera for the square bw.

It probably weighs about 75 pounds over the 2 bags. Its not light, but its totally needed.
Those images are FANTASTIC. My fave is the single green leaf, wow!
Thanks Jill! Its actually the shadow of a leaf and its green because I cross processed some slide film. In the shadows it goes way green but in broad daylight you get these amazingly crazy colors.
