Thanks! yipes! it must have been deleted during the whole 'pay for vendor usage' thingie... ok well I hope I remember exactly what I wrote then... if not, I apologize in advance: Clients pay all travel fees (hotel, flight, food, car rental, etc.) + $1000US, and will receive: - full day shooting on wedding day - unlimited shots + locations - up to an average of 100 images per hour shooting on CD, color corrected and high resolution (no watermarks). - choice of Trash the Dress OR Engagement Session session (with photos on CD as well) - 6 months online photo gallery (for viewing, purchasing prints/canvases etc) - 10% first album order (whether its 1 album or 5 albums) - 1 photographer (me!) ALSO, for those interested, my girlfriend is a European Master Hairstylist with 16 years experience, and coincidentally also one of my 2nd photographers. If you are interested in having your hair professionally done (bridesmaids, mothers, flower girls too) AND having a 2nd Photographer for your special day, please contact me for a custom quote! We just got back last month from a BDW wedding in Acapulco and a similar package, and it was AMAZING! Contact me if you have any questions! (hope this helped!)

You know what? Fool everyone and do a DW in Canada!!! No, just kidding... (although its beautiful up here!)... of all the places I have been to, I would put my vote in at: Acapulco, Ocho Rios Jamaica, St Thomas USVI, Costa Rica or Panama. HOT HOT HOT!

No kidding you're excited!!!! I mean, St. Lucia?!!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Talk about Paradise!!!! So jealous, you're gonna love it!!! Welcome to the forum!!!!

Ocho Rios! I've been there like a bazillion times! (I used to be a photographer for Princess Cruises) You will absolutely love it there! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask ok? Happy Planning!

Its going to be SO gorgeous in January! Congrats and happy planning!

Hellooooo! Sounds like you came to the right place! The best thing to do is to search for Moon Palace, maybe start reading reviews from people that have been there, and start compiling a list of questions you'd like to ask! After that, ask away! Happy Planning!

Hey! Congrats on your big day!! Its going to be amazing!! Happy Planning!

Welcome to the forum! You are going to LOVE Jamaica!!! I STRONGLY recommend a Trash the Dress session, they are SO much fun! (I know what you mean, its not really a TRASH the dress, but rather a "worry less if dress gets a bit dirty" session haha) You have definitely come to the right place for research! Happy planning to you!

Is anyone still being affected by the Swine Flu, as far as cancellations go? Or is everything getting back to normal? Either way, I'd still love to help out and I have a few dates still open!

Welcome to the forum, Shivani!

For the record Amy, I could hear you guys pretty clearly as I wandered around, even from the very back. It was obviously more quiet in the back but still clear enough to understand!!

Amy you and Octavio ROCKED it! Thank you so much for these kind words!!
