El Dorado Royale Wedding Slide show!

[Jackie]

I e-mailed leigh Friday morning in request for prices and packages and I received this e-mail back late Saturday night. She/he is out of San Diego area and would require travel fees, but said that there isnt a flat fee for this it just depends on what the exact cost of travel is for that time of year ect... Also said that all the destination weddings she/he does include a 1 1/2 hour of Rehearsal dinner photography and also a 1 hour day after the wedding photography.

i love her work as well...but that is like $5000 after you add travel costs...and doesn't even include a book.
but she is worth it!

Nope, you're not too far away. Ooh, Disnwyland sounds so awesome right now. That's funny- I love your spontaneous vacation. That's how my FI and I do things too. We decided to do a site visit in September to Cabo and booked it a week before we left.

That's kinda what I was thinking too. Although, I already have that first dress that i bought and I think I could justify using it. I'm thinking about emailing Juan and asking if he's available the next day after our wedding to do some "water pics."

It said on the blog that wedding weekends start at 3300 or 3700 something like that. I'm sure I would have to pay extra for traveling fee. I cant wait to hear back from them.

I love the idea of trashing your dress, except that I'm too sentinmental. I don't think I could ever sell my dress, and I really don't think I could trash it! Buying another dress seems like the best option...

Hey Jackie,

I almost booked Leigh for my wedding, but ended up going with another photographer. I actually feel kind of bad, but when it came down to it, I found another photographer that was more experienced and charged me less. She's amazing though, and is sure to give you great photos. I still regularly check her blog and when I saw april and nate's photos, I couldn't help but feel a slight bit of regret for not booking her.

Her package must have changed, because when I was planning to use her she did include more in her DW package. I think that she actually may have sent you her local pricing, rather than her DW pricing so just in case i will post her DW package below

this may or may not help you make a decision. For us, photography was at the top of our list and we felt more comfortable hiring someone from here that we could contact before and after the fact with ease. But as evidenced by the work on this forum, there are some phenomenal photographers in Mexico.

Good for you. How exciting. I might have to change my damn resort (Occidental Grand Xcaret) if these people dont get back to me. So Agravating. I'm going to give them a call if I dont hear from them soon. Yeah, I cant wait to hear all about the El Dorado!!!! I'm so excited for you.

Thanks that does help. Yup photography is at the top of my list. And I think I might have found someone that I think is good enough and in my price range.
Shes local, so no traveling fees. That was the killer for me.

That slide show is so beautiful! Does anyone know whose it is or how they had it done? Does the EDR have a photographer that does pics/slideshow like that, or did they get the digital pics and then just make a slide show?
I'm just starting to plan my wedding for june 08 at the EDR but we're having a big reception when we get home and I wanted to play a slide show like that for everyone that wasn't at the wedding.....Any ideas, please let me know:) Thanks soooo much!!!
