Hi Julia, congrats on your upcoming wedding and welcome to the forum. If you haven't had a chance yet, do a search for Cancun because we have several threads that should be able to help you during your planning process.

I am certainly not a photographer by any means or even a professional graphic designer, but I have been in marketing for 10 years and have been working in Photoshop for longer than that and have a solid skill set using the software. What I can't understand is when I open the RAW image (had a strap showing that I'm trying to get rid of), edit and save the image, it looks fine and relatively the same as the unedited jpg files the photographer gave us. However, when I print edited RAW files (now saved as jpg files so I could upload them to the photo printing site) the color is horribly washed out and sad looking. What am I doing wrong? Should I just edit the jpg images or am I missing something when I work with these files. I've obviously never worked with RAW files before, but I don't change any color settings, just do a little band-aid work on the strap and save. I'd really appreciate any suggestions you could offer so I can get prints sans the underarm strap showing! Thanks!!! Hmm, have you had your monitor calibrated? That would be the first think I would check. I know if a color is off on your computer, you might not notice it until the photo is actually printed. There are companies that do color correction on ordered prints, such as MPIX. If your going to CVS or another local place, they won't color correct so what they see is what you get.

I love meeting brides before their wedding, I' am meeting up with another bride next month for her BD pictures. Quote: Originally Posted by Sammygurlj So....I just can't wait anymore.

Sadly I won't get to see him open it since he is living in Texas until May but I'm sure he will enjoy having the book while he is away from me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME lol You are so much like me it's not even funny, I would do the same thing. When I' am really excited to give hubby a gift I bug him to let me give it to him early. lol So funny. Did you get an online proof of your book? If so I'd love to see it. I can't wait to hear how he likes his birthday gift. :-)

I have an indoor cat (and a million dogs,, lol) We rescued our cat, we had no choice but to keep him indoors, because he has FIV. But with that said, even if he didn't have FIV, we would want him indoors. Like someone else mentioned, there are just too many risks outside and IMO why have a pet if you don't want them hanging out with you. Sort of like when people have dogs and keep them chained up in the back yard all the time. Anyways, I can't wait to see your kitty.

I think 20-25k is reasonable, I think it will really depend on what "extras" you choose to do. I spent around 12-15k on our Cabo wedding, I only had 6 guests and that included everything (trip, dress, photographer, etc)

Photographs from your wedding are one of the few things you take back with you, and will give you those life long memories. We have many photographers on this forum, in many different price ranges. IMO, I would try to hire a professional photographer for your wedding, if your budget allows it.

I agree, the travel agents on the forum are awesome, in fact I book all my travel with them.

If you like her work, then I say go for it. My only 2 question that I would ask her if she shoots in RAW format. The reason I ask is because I don't see how she can give you one CD with all the RAW photos (even unedited ones) RAW files are huge. The other question is "does she have a back up camera in case something happens to hers during the trip?" But overall, if you feel comfortable, and you like the work you have seen from her, I say go for it.

I think it's awesome and your mom did a great job. I love the sepia tone, but my only concern is how it would look when you have a tan or something. I actually like the tattoo with the words. I think it adds just a little extra touch. Good luck getting your first tattoo, hubby has been trying to convince me to get one, but I'm too chicken. lol

I adore that pattern as well, and that accent color is great with it.
