I love all her new designs. OK...off to go tell sarah she rocks

What a rat. she is probably not a she, but a photographer posing as a bride in order to spam. So everyone should also be on the lookout for Kristy Thomas, Harriet Welsh, and Ramona Quimby. Oh & Margaret.

Cancun PHOTOGRAPHERS
rodent replied to sunitam's topic in Destination Wedding in Riviera Maya, Cancun & surrounding areas
Quote: Originally Posted by AshleyBrendan He said that they have 16 photographers in the group, but that if I booked them for my wedding that he is available to be the photographer for the day. He also said he is the best of his company lol and that he will cost a little bit more. He offered us a discount, so instead I asked for more time taking pictures. I was thinking about doing the 4 hour digital package, and he has said that he would stay for 5 and half hours so that we can get some pictures of our reception that is at 7 pm, which is really great. He joined the forum, but not as a vendor so his posts have been deleted. But, he told us in the catalonia thread that there are only 4 photographers on his team. My concern about hiring him was exactly what he told you. There is a team of 16 & he is the best. So the pictures on the site are probably his. What if you get photographer #16? How will that work be? It could be fine. I'd just ask to see it. I would want to see an entire wedding from the person being sent to shoot my wedding. So now it comes out that he has been spamming the forum under the name Nacy Drew. I just don't get a good feeling about this guy at all. It bothers me that he told us there were only 4 photographers & the rest of the 25 do lighting & editing. But, then he tells you there are 16. Along with spamming the forum I'm just not trusting this guy. -
How annoying! If they would have just joined the forum as a vendor & not tried to break the rules they could have booked lots of weddings. Now they just look shady.

Quote: Originally Posted by engaged maya Hello ladies, I have a question about such a minor detail (compared to decision on a photographer) but are you guys using real of fake rose petals for the wedding, for the flower girl. I was gonna use fake but my fiance is all about naturals. Would I, I guess, have to order real roses from the resort then rip the petals? Thanks I bought fake ones & then realized it was a mistake. they could have blown into the water. I used them for a non-wedding thing. they sell rose petals by the bag. You can buy them from the WC when you are picking out your flowers & all the other details. It was something cheap like $4 a bag. I thought I was buying them, but they never ended up in my room with my flowers. Turns out two of the hotel staff members tossed them. You can see it many posts back when i was posting the picture of cora. It probably worked out better than having our guests throw them. THey are under the tent & it probably wouldn't have worked great. Maybe just have aisle people toss them. I'm not sure if I paid for petals or not. I think they ended up just being part of the package. Also, don't fly them in. It's not legal & you could introduce a non-native insect. -
Wedding is over~ now what to do with my dress~ pics!
rodent replied to KLC77's topic in Random Thoughts
I've been considering dyeing mine. I'm not sure how it will turn out though because it has beads on it. We are taking anniversary pics while in hawaii for our 2nd anniversary. I've already started shopping for a bright & flowy dress to wear in those pictures. I found my wedding dress in royal blue so I ordered it. But, that got me thinking I could just dye my wedding dress a bright color and wear that. I think your dress would be really cute short. You could always wear it out on your anniversary. -

I'll get it in a week, and let you know how it comes out!! It's dress number three for me, so hopefully third luck's a charm! be sure to post a review on the thread about discount dress shops.

Do you have 5 rep points? it's not 1 rep= 1 karma. I have 105 rep points but something like 12 karma. we don't exactly understand karma. It looks like your time as a member makes a difference in your karma. We also know you can lose it by stealing points. As far as I know karma isn't actually used for anything.

We take care of any wedding from the little one until the big one with 300 people and unlimited hours coverage. We use a lot of assistants for the light and the extra equipment. We garantize all times the high quality and a stylish job. We don't have any bad or not professional photographer. And all the 4 photographer in charge are graduated in photography school. So do not worry about professional photographers. You can read in our testimonials and searching about us on the web that we have many excellente commentary about everybody. Sounds good I think it would be nice if on your site you show who the photographers are & samples of their work. I do think there are great images on your site. I was just concerned when I read there was a team of 25, that you wouldn't know who in the 25 you'd get & if their work was as good as what is shown on the site. I did not realize that only 4 of these 25 people shoot weddings. I wouldn't advise people against hiring a photographer from a larger company, but I do think it's important to see the work of who would be photographing your wedding. I know these are all things I looked at when hiring a wedding photographer so these might be things you want to clarify on your site. -
"exercise does not contribute to weight loss"
rodent replied to MissBlade's topic in Beauty, Exercise, Diet
I just read In Defense of Food & it coveres a lot of the points brought up here. I try not to obsess about food, calories or exercise. I want to be healthy & in good shape, but i also want to enjoy my life, so it's important to me to find a balance. I try to do exercise I enjoy and have fun with instead of slaving away on a treadmill thinking about calories. I try to cook delicious, but healthy food. I also don't want to be all or nothing about it. Another book I love is bob greenes best life diet. -
Quote: Originally Posted by Dmitri_Markine I wish I could offer further advice,but your first mistake was to choose a free photographer. There's no free cheese...He now wants to get his costs back and there's little you can do. $445+445+500 is a good price for an album you've never seen(!) and if you are paying him so much, you might as well make sure your album has the images you want. Good luck Many BDW brides have had great success with a photograper that only charged for travel. I would say the mistake was not having a contract with everything spelled out.

How is everyone already busy a year away?

What about the last weekend in may? Find the opening with your immediate family & just set that as the date. -

just set a date & stick with it & let people know you understand if they can't make it. -
"exercise does not contribute to weight loss"
rodent replied to MissBlade's topic in Beauty, Exercise, Diet
I think they are referring to a recent study showing that people often eat as many extra calories as the burned working out because they worked out. so overall, no weight loss. but, those who are successful losing weight combining exercise & diet don't do this. I saw it a lot working at a gym. Someone would come in & do a 30 minute workout & then buy a protein bar on the way out. Those things are about 300 calories & they probably burned less working out. -

Anyway I am strongly considering Cecelia DUMAS, can anyone recommend her? no i don't think they care if you use the hotel photographer. At least I didn't get that feeling from them. They even complimented my photographers & said they wanted to see pictures. -
It did seem fake like she was just doing it for the camera. I'm starting to think that is why most of the girls are on the show. I could barely watcher her episodes & the way she treated her MIL.

I got married at the hotel next to dreams riviera maya. It was a really nice area. We picked riviera maya because it was a much quicker & cheaper flight from texas. There are also so many great adventures in RM. I loved it.

But, that is something spelled out in the contract so without a contract it's hard to say if you can really do anything. I'd keep pushing him on letting you use your $500. If not, what about ordering your album from someone else & just being done with him once you get the disc. It sounds like he is really being a jerk. sarah on the forum does custom flush mount albums. There are some options for brides to order them too.
