Las Caletas is Beautiful - Wedding photos

Thank you. My wedding dress was a monique lhuillier - spent way too much money on it but it was the only dress I felt good in. And I'm so glad I chose lace overlay b/c it was so hot and i was sweating so badly:) I'm glad I read Ann and "starchild's" thread before my wedding b/c they suggested I bring another dress to change into and I think that one was a Max Studio dress.

Ann thanks for all your threads and advice on Las Caletas. It really helped hearing others experience of Las Caletas - especially when planning a wedding site unseen. On another note - congratulations - are you having a baby?

awww - you're welcome! i'm just glad i can help other brides and grooms the way this forum helped me to plan as well. it's both exciting and a little nerve racking getting married somewhere you've never seen, other than in photos! but i knew you wouldn't be let down ... glad i (we!) was right!

and YES - we're having a baby! we're due in July 2008 ... and so excited! so much for the anniversary trip to Caletas, but we'll make it back - i swear!

i now picture bringing our kids there on a family vaction, doing the day trip or something, and saying "this is where mommy and daddy were married" - how cool would that be?

Love your pictures! The photog did an amazing job. It's crazy that every wedding you see LC in a different way. I love the way it's able to still look unique after all the weddings we have viewed!

 

Congrats. You looked beautiful and it looks like your people had a fabulous time! Why were a couple of them wet? haha

Heather - what a beautiful wedding! We just had a site visit there on Tuesday and it was wonderful!!! One question - did you have any trouble getting down the stairs on your "grand entrance"?? There are so many! That was pretty much my only concern. It is such a beautiful location - love it!!!!

I love your slideshow!!

 

I have a couple of questions...

 

How much was your photographer?

 

Who did your hair? Did your boat them over from PV?

The stairs weren't too bad. I was a little nervous about the stairs too when I saw them. I had wedge shoes and I'm pretty good at walking in high heels so I just went slow. You can always leave your shoes close to the bottom of the stairs if you want. I also changed into flip flop style shoes immediately after the ceremony. I would recommend that you not spend money on the shoes and just be comfortable.

My photographer was a little expensive but I wanted to make sure that my pictures were great - especially since I'm not very photogenic. He's out of California so you have to pay for is air fare and a couple night hotel stay. He was awesome though. He is really cool and down to earth. And he took so many pictures. In the cost he also did a half day engagement session the day before the wedding at different spots around PV. I think he's # is on the slide show to get his current rates.
As far as my hair - Nicole booked it with a stylist from a local salon. I did a trial run a couple of days before the wedding which is highly recommended!! B/c unless you speak spanish you may need a translator. Thank goodness my step mom speaks spanish so she was able to translate what I really wanted the day of - for instance not so much hairspray!! They love the hairspray! Nicole arranged for the stylists to come over on a seperate boat around 2:30 before everyone else showed up. Ask Nicole for pricing.

Congratulations and Happy Holidays!!! Beautiful pictures!
