Now that I have some time to read through this, I'm going to be annoying (sorry!) and ask you a ton of questions...

She arranged my welcome dinner at St. Anne's for 51 and set up my travel mugs & hats at the table. I wanted to do a dinner, but Chandlyn said she could only accommodate up to 30 people at St. Ann's. Did you have to pay more for more guests?
Our ceremony was at the beach gazebo (awesome) with recorded music - she did this perfectly! I picked the tropical flowers and they were beautiful! We took a ton of pictures & guests had rum punch. Cocktails were at the Dunn's River bar at 5 (where Chandlyn set up a nice area with tablecloths just for the wedding guests) (free). Wow! I didn't realize we could have a free cocktail reception. Did you set this up with Chandlyn prior to your arrival?
Then at 6:30 we went over to the plantation (upstairs) for the private reception. How were your tables set up? How many people could each table sit?

Michael was really awesome, very nice & professional! I highly recommend him. We hired him for before the wedding in my room, thru the ceremony, & after. Then we also had him come back to the reception for a couple hours. He ended up taking over 900 photo's! When we went to go view the photos a couple days after it was just taking way too long so we ended up buying about 750 pictures on the CD after deleting about 200. It was a little more than we wanted to spend but honestly did not want to spend the rest of our trip going thru every photo! We got 10 5x7's & the raw cd when we left. He didn't have time to edit all 750 photos before we left so he'll mail the edited CD in a few weeks. The pictures that we looked at (we didn't even go thru them all) were abslutely beautiful. The lighting, scenery is awesome - it looks like a postcard - I am very very pleased with them. I'm so glad you had such a good experience with him! Did you arrange your package, times and payment with him before you went or did you wait til you got there?
Let me know if you have any questions. My professional pic's will be here in a few weeks but I do have a few printed that I'll post Wednesday along with my own photo's!!! Hope this review helps!!!
Congrats again! I'm so happy that you had such a wonderful experience!
