New romantic comedy on Amazon Prime In the Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel film Shotgun Wedding, a destination wedding goes awry after several pirates hold everyone hostage. After that, the couple must cooperate in order to save their loved ones.
On a private island in the Philippines, the movie is set. Many fans are curious as to where Shotgun Wedding was filmed given the exotic settings in the movie. Find out by reading on.
Shotgun Wedding Filming Locations
Instead of the Philippines, where the premise is located, Massachusetts and the Dominican Republic were used for the film’s shooting. The production began in February 2021, and it was finished in April of that same year. Without further ado, let’s take a look at every location used for the filming of Shotgun Wedding.
María Trinidad Sánchez, Dominican Republic
The majority of the movie was filmed in the Dominican Republic’s province of Maria Trinidad Sanchez. The Mahal Island Resort in the Philippines, where the couple got married and the guests were kidnapped, was actually the Hotel Ani Villas Dominican Republic in Rio San Juan.
The resort has 28 rooms and has a lovely view of the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel also serves as a legitimate wedding site. The Playa Grande beach and other areas close to the resort were also used for filming. Additionally, a few shots were shot in Cabrera, a village on the Dominican Republic’s north coast.
Samaná Province, Dominican Republic
Additionally, the cast and crew of the movie were seen filming in the municipalities of Sánchez and Samaná in the province of Samaná. In the province of San Pedro de Macoris, in the small seaside town of Juan Dolio, several scenes were recorded.
Josh Duhamel previously talked about his time spent working in the Dominican Republic and a near-fatal accident he experienced while filming by the sea. Duhamel remarked, “This rogue wave basically washed me almost over the edge of this cliff as I’m videotaping this thing.”
Fortunately, there was some razor-sharp coral there to hold me up, but thereafter, it turned several sections of my body into hamburgers. But it was undoubtedly one of my closest calls with death, he continued.
Boston, Massachusetts
The most populated and capitol city of Massachusetts, Boston, served as another location for Shotgun Wedding. The filming of the couple’s daily life scenes in the city was observed by the production team. Massachusetts’s commercial and cultural centre is Boston. It is home to several prestigious schools and universities, such as Harvard and MIT.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Equalizer 1 and 2, Ghostbusters, Good Will Hunting, Knives Out, The Pink Panther 2, and Ted are just a few of the popular films that have previously been filmed in the city. Also filmed in Boston were episodes of The Bachelorette, Boston EMS, The Practice, Married at First Sight, and Dexter: New Blood.
