6 or 7 hours I can't remember. Lately I have also been wondering if we should do video though as well. I don't want to miss any of it!

I am so glad we got a video. it was a last minute decision. I will receive my video next week & I'll post it. As soon as the ceremony was over I was so glad to know we'd have a video coming. You just can't take it all in. I want to see the guests, relive the ceremony, & see what happened before I got there.

I wish we have done a video....I can't remember from when I started walking to us being on the beach taking photos...it's a blur! ;(

I know my husband's brother had his camera going but we haven't talked to him since we have been back so I don't have a copy of that yet and it was just from his seat so I don't know how good it is anyway....

We'll be hiring Claudia for 3 hours, and have Juan as our photographer with the package we get from The Excellence, so between the two I think we'll have enough pictures. An we'll also have our TTD pictures the following day.

The package we selected will allow us to have our photog for up to ten hours.
I think that is fantastic since I want pictures of us in front of the sights before the wedding.

We will have our photographer for 4 days. Yahooo..... I am so excited he won't miss a thing. Photography is very important to me, so this is somewhere we made an small exception with our budget.

Check out
Houston & Miami Wedding Photographers - this was our engagement shoot. Joe came out to NYC to do this so we could also get to know him before the wedding.

He offers 3-4 days of full coverage for a little more than most photographers I looked into that only offered 10 hours.

I am very concerned about this as well. The longer the time spent the higher the price. I do not think 5 hours is too long or too short. I am aiming for 5 hours. I too do not want to fly a phtographer in, but if you can find an upcomming phtographer who wants to build their portfolio so they will do your wedding for free if you fly them in. I figure that is unlimited amount of hours. Still working on this.
