This is what "burnsd" said about her Intimate wedding package - I don't think she ever posted AFTER she got married! "As for our ceromony we did not pick the delux so a few things are diffrent, like we are in a succluded area however when it's time to go up to the buffet there could be other people there in line, but for us it's not a big deal we really wanted to keep things simple. Nicole has also metioned that she will set up a table for our guest book in case you are going to have one as well. Hopefully it will all work out I will def send you pic's of the wedding when I get back I can't wait!! "

I do remember one bride that got married during the day said that the buffet line was shared w/the Tour guests. Let me see if I can find her post. Question: Is the Deluxe package an option for you?

I totally agree - which is why we went with the Deluxe package. But we also have about 75 people!

Would she be your WC for Las Caletas? Or are you having a reception somewhere else after getting married at Las Caletas? Or is this if you didn't get married at Las Caletas at all? Sorry - I'm just a little confused!

i'm no super model, that's for sure! i wouldn't consider myself overweight, but i sure could use a little "toning" in some areas. speaking of - Cindy is calling ...

So, I looked into Dazzling Details. I think that your right that you are paying for the name so to speak. I would get less than I would w/ Caletas but feel that it would be a bit more private so I am struggling with that. I just dont know what to do?!?!?!?! When you said this ... "I would get less than I would w/ Caletas but feel that it would be a bit more private so I am struggling with that." I am confused - where would you get less than w/Las Caletas? What options are you trying to decide between?

i also don't think BM jewelry HAS to match. of course it can if you want, but doesn't have to. i actually think that if the girls had different jewelry it might make things more interesting!

I am getting married at Las Caletas in June 07. The idea was that I'd get in better shape before these pictures, but it really didn't happen. The good thing is that Leigh did a good job of hiding my "trouble" areas! I'd love to do these again when I am in better shape, but not sure that will happen!

you're quite welcome! and as you can see from Andre's reaction - they were a big hit! thanks to Jill for sharing these photos so quickly, i think it's motivated some of the other girls to go ahead and do this. yay!

Oh, I wanted to make sure you knew, Leigh isn't local to Puerto Vallarta (I just noticed the heading of this thread). She lives in S. Cal so we did have to pay travel costs as well.

I'm Ann! lol I didn't meet with her before signing a contract with her, but I have since. I can't remember where I got her name, either this forum or The Knot, then looked at a ton of different photographer's websites and sample work - and sat down w/my FI to "rank" the different photographers. We first did this w/o looking at pricing. Then we sat down and figured out 1) who was even available for our date (I had already contacted most of the photographers), and 2) what they charge. I will say Leigh was on teh high end of what I wanted to spend, but I am so happy it worked out in the end! It will be well worth it - for sure! Then it just turned out that she was going to be in Chicago, where I live, and we arranged to get the engagement and boudoir photos done. It's great that I was able to meet her before the wedding day. Paul and I are NOT camera people - so hopefully we'll be more "relaxed" on the wedding day now that we know Leigh a little.

here is a slideshow that Leigh Miller posted of a boudoir session she did with three of us girls (one of which was Lenita!) http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t3283

I think that Tammy was thinking about upgrading to get rid of those errors - but she's scared too. When you upgrade, sometimes you lose a lot of stuff like pictures and posts. Not good!

Quote: Originally Posted by Christine I think Amy looked into using them, but decided against it. Not sure why, but I would PM her. I think they can be expensive, and they do book far in advance. But I don't remember why either ...

I have heard nothing but great things about them - here, on The Knot, my PV Brides Yahoo group - never a bad word!

karma. it'll get her. i believe that!

I am having Leigh make a album for me - which I haven't done yet, I need to pick out my favorite photos first. I just wouldn't be able to do a good job like Sarah! The slideshow is probably a good sampling of the PG-rated photos!

is anyone really going to notice if you don't sign something? i mean, how often do wedding guests see the bride and groom sign something!?

i think that most people that have been legally married in the US before or after their Mexico ceremony have kept it a secret from most everyone. i know we will be!

i said evening on mine - but mine is at 6:30 (like that matters!) - but i think evening is more appropriate. i even tried googling - not much came up. but this did if it's handy for anyone - girl metro : : wedding invitations : : custom and tailored designs

lol - too dang funny! well, since paul and i work together, and i work with all men - not sure that would work for me!

OMG that's too funny! i haven't told anyone that i did this - only 1 girlfriend of Paul's since i was asking her if we could use her place to shoot. it's so hard to keep it a secret!

i wanna see too Sarah! Yea - there was a dungeon like place, literally underneath the stairwell at this building we shot at. at it was at the end of the shoot when we had all relaxed a little and were just walking around 1/2 naked!

OMG Leigh - I thought the same thing! I am wondering if it was the maid one ... hehehe
