Well, for anyone planning a DW in Cabo, you came to the right place. :-) This forum actually started out as a cabo wedding forum, we have many reviews on just about every resort there. Congrats on your engagemant and welcome to the forum. Happy planning.

Wedding photography can range in prices, it will depend on if you hire a local photogapher (where you may only get a couple hours of coverage) to hiring a US photographer where they travel there for a couple days can capture your full wedding and even a TTD session and rehersal dinner. We have many photographers on the forum, all at different pricing points, IMO I would start researching styles that you and your FI like, and then send them an inquiry. Photography was the one thing I refused to budge on when I was getting married on, I really wanted photos that I could charish and love forever. So we made it work and cut other things out so we could afford who we wanted to hire.

Hi Katie, congrats on your wedding and welcome to the forum. Dreams Punta Cana is a beautiful resort, I have a slideshow from there on my website. We have many Dreams brides on here, so I' am sure you'll find some helpful information. Happy planning.

OK, I' am a little sad, some of the people that orginally posted a response to this thread is no longer active. :-(

Well, is the resort AI? If it is, maybe they will just go and grab something at a local buffet or something. Honestly I wouldn't want to leave my wedding, in fear I would miss something. I guess I wouldn't worry so much about the DJ, only because he's not working for very long, however your photographer is going to be with you all day. (Well assuming you hired them for full wedding day coverage, if it's only for a few hours on your wedding day, then I wouldn't worry about it)

Speaking from experience, it's nice to have a real meal (preferably hot, but this is not required) and not have to eat a protein bar for dinner. And, it is common practice to provide a meal for your vendors. As far as the type of meal, it's best to speak with your caterer and find out how much more (if any) it would be to provide the same meal as your guests will receive. If it would be kinda pricey to provide the same meal, they should be able to provide a less expensive option. If you are having a buffet, the caterer or hotel probably wouldn't charge much more (if any) to include your photographer. It's best to make sure they are seated in an area where they can keep an eye out on what's happening so as not to miss anything if they need to get up quickly to capture a moment. Your photographer will definitely appreciate the fact that you fed them. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Tod I couldn't agree more with Tod. A lot of times (even more so with destination weddings) the photographer is up and shooting by 10am and goes on shooting for a few hours at your reception, that's usually 12 hours of wedding day coverage, with (maybe) a protien bar to snack on during that time. Like someone else mentioned, while you are eating, the camera is usually down, because not too many people like photos with food in their mouth. :-) I' am sure they would thank you, for any food that you provide them.

As the other girls noted already, you can find some cheap wedding dresses so that you can do a TTD session. However keep in mind that you don't always have to do a TTD in the ocean and they will still be great photos. Either way, if you love photography, I would figure a way to make it happen. :-)

Hello Evaleen and welcome to the forum. We have many threads on several resorts in Cancun already, just put the resort name in the search field and I' am sure you'll find some answers you are looking for.

I must have looked at each dress 5 different times. I honestly think both of them look great on you, I love the back of dress #1 but I love the detail on dress #2. Sorry it's a toss up for me, but the cut and style of the dresses you choose is very flattering. Good luck :-)

Darcy you have a great attitude, I hope everything works out and they still go. I can't wait to see your wedding photos and hear how everything goes.. YEAH, so happy for you.

They are SO CUTE and I absolutely love your pic of Roja!!! Thank you so much for being a foster mommy as I know the ins and outs and how difficult it can be sometimes. I hope to get back into it one of these days. We have many people in our rescue group that also volunteer for a boxer rescue, they really do have similar personalities, except Boston's are much smaller. (duh right, lol) We have been with the rescue for over 3 years now and have had many fosters come through our home. It does get hard at times, but in the end it's about the dog and helping the next one. We really do enjoy volunteering with them. :-)

As some of you may have seen an earlier post where I put 5 of my previous fosters (well Roja came in as a foster but we adopted her) for a Calendar for a Boston Terrier Rescue group. Well low and behold, Roja not only made the calendar but they asked to use her photo to help promote sales of the calendar. Check it out. I' am such a proud mommy. :-)
