Cassondra2009

Just wondering if anyone has heard from Claudia recently regarding the photography policy? I've emailed her to get "permission" i writing but I haven't gotten a response.

Thanks for the link...I will have to check it out.

I LOVE the invites! They are great

Sorry if this question has already been discussed... How many hours are you booking the photographer for? I'm thinking of 6, but I was wondering what everyone else was thinking.

I emailed Cecilia Dumas and said: I am getting married on July 12, 2009 at Dreams Cancun. I was hoping to hire you as my photographer (if you are available) until I heard that Dreams did not allow private vendors. I have also heard through other brides that you were speaking to Dreams Cancun to be added to their private vendors list. I was wondering what the outcome of that conversation was. Are you able to photograph weddings at Dreams Cancun? If so, are you available on July 12, 2009. Her response was: Hello Cassandra, nice to meet you, and congratulations for your wedding!!!! Thank you very much for contacting me. May I ask you how did you know about me? Yes, I am still available for your wedding day, and TTD session. I have attached to this mail some packages; if you have any request please let me know so we can work on that together. The Dreams Cancun Hotel, will ask you to pay a day pass ($50) in order to allowing me to be your photographer, just to let you know. I also emailed Claudia (the WC) but shockingly she hasn't responded yet haha. What do you all think about that? Do you think I can use her?

Hi everyone! I am also getting married at Dreams Cancun. I haven't been around on the forum in awhile but I'm trying to catch up slowly now that I'm done with grad school. Have you guys heard any new information about the photography situation with Cecilia Dumas? I was also thinking about hiring her. Her work is good and her prices are much cheaper than Claudia's.

Sorry I forgot to introduce myself before asking questions... My wedding date is July 19, 2009 and I am so excited! I just received my contract from Claudia today....yippeee! I havent though about all of the details yet since I have so much time. I will post again once I have any good info. Claudia did send me a price list...I'm not sure if it is on their website. If not, does anyone want it?

Do you know anyone who has hired her in the past? I am somewhat nervous to hire someone without a recommendation.

to the forum! Happy Planning!

I think I'll wear regular shoes during the ceremony and photos then change into flip flops at the reception...or whenever my feet start to hurt.

Welcome to the forum!

Help me past Dreams brides!! Thanks!! I've been waiting (not very patiently) for Claudia to email my travel agent with a date! How long did it take for you to get a date? If you read through the thread that is called "Dreams Cancun- Questions for those married here" there is a TON of info. I also have some price lists and pictures of bouquets, centerpieces, etc. Let me know if you need them. Happy Planning!!

Very cute! I love that picture!

If you're doing the wedding at 11 you will probably want to do it on the terrace as there is a cover, so you will have shade. It's hot there at 11, I got married at 4 and I was sweating! One good thing is that the gazebo side of the resort is windy, so you will have a nice breeze, but its still really warm. Do you know if the terrace can accommodate 50-60 people? I can't tell how big it is from the photos.
