But if you can scrap up some extra cash to get the one who will portray your special moments in time the best then try (ask you all's family to contribute).. I totally agree with going with your heart. It just has to FEEL perfect. Do what you need to do to make YOU happy. (and your Fiance as well of course)

Hi Nuni! Before I became a wedding photographer I was a photographer for Princess Cruises (jan 2006 to may 2007). I actually met my fiance on the cruise ships (we both joined jan 28th 2006 and have been together ever since! We also just got engaged ourselves in Sept!) She was a hairstylist in the spa on the same ship. If you have never been on a cruise before you are going to absolutely love it! If you have any questions about cruises that you cannot find on the forum please don't hesitate to ask ok? Michael

Love it! Excellent job!

I was just again in Venice in September In fact, I proposed to my lovely lady on a Gondola Sept 19th! Venice would be an amazing place to have a wedding, we are thinking of doing ours there as well! All the best!

hey Kelly! Congrats!!! I'm on the west coast now but I lived most my life in Brooks (east of Calgary)! Welcome to the forum! My first Destination Wedding was in Las Caletas, I promise you that you will absolutely LOVE it! All the best

Congratulations Morgan!!!! Happy Planning!

wow. first of all I was shocked that this even happened... then i was shocked i just read almost every entry in this thread lol... i dont really know what to say, and all i can really do is just shake my head. on the other hand, this just popped in my head: Dear Bryce, On behalf of all the photographers who are proud members of BDW, we would like to sincerely thank you for all your 'would-be' future business. all the best, Michael

Happy Planning!

Congratulations fellow Canadian! Happy Planning!

Welcome to the forum!

Congrats Donna! Happy Planning!

hey stranger! welcome!

Hey! I used to work on a cruise ship as a Photographer from jan 06 to may 07 and I can tell you that it totally can be done! I saw MANY passengers with full on 'pro' equipment and nobody even batted an eye. I think they mean that no studio gear and lighting is allowed on, but in this day and age, EVERYONE has a camera! You are bound to have the occasional Amateur with a Pro Camera and lenses! Nothing can stop them! Think of it this way, as a Wedding Photographer, even I get a vacation every now and then... do you think I would leave my camera at home? Heck no! Let them TRY and stop me! Its in my blood and I would want to take some nice photos of my trip! If for some reason they wouldnt let your photographer take photos walking around the ship (which I could understand), NOTHING can stop them from taking photos on land. Its out of their ... 'jurisdiction'? I have been to Grand Cayman many times, and if that is where you are getting married, you will have an absolute ball and there are TONS of great photo ops around the islands! I would keep it as big of a secret as you could though... no need telling everyone who your photographer is if you have any more questions please let me know, I'd love to help out!

congrats Steph and Ryan!
