Hi ladies, I got married in Feb 09 in Dreams Cancun and cant recommend him enough. I too was going to get a diff photographer but it was too expensive the girl I wanted was 2000 dollars minimum where as we had the Ultimate Wedding Package and Juan was included his images were amazing so much so that we purchased all 600+ of them on a disc and he gave us 120 images printed in an album before we went home we picked the images we wanted to use a few days after the wedding. He was so professional and captured everything for us. If any of you want to ask me anything dont hesitate in contacting me am more than happy to help and also show you the link to the pictures. Email address is [email protected]

Hello fellow Dreams Cancun bride lol Am travelling there in Feb 09 too - our date is the 5th! x

Hey thanks for the comment, my family is big as in my dad has 10 brothers and sisters, my mom has 7 brothers and sisters, so including me and my sister on both sides there are 21 grandkids and that isnt including their kids now! So yeah the idea of having to pay for some ppl that I wouldnt even talk to if I passed them on the street doesnt appeal to me either. I would be close with some cousins and then not necessarily know maybe their siblings as well. This way the people I know who would love to go will and the ppl who are willing to travel that far and spend that money to spend our day with us - well I am willing to give those people a once in a lifetime trip. Some ppl would never even see that part of the world only for this kind of a chance you know what I mean?! A little apprehensive about some things like little things like centerpieces and favours etc having to drag these things to the other side of the world and stuff like that. My head is like a whirlpool at the moment so much stuff to organize and do - in like 10 months! I used to be so organized too lol before i had my daughter 7 months ago - talk about a challenge but anyway I'll get there lol x Quote: Originally Posted by redheaney irishpocahontas...

If you need any help/suggestions, where I might better be able to help out rather than the experts here (who know exactly what they are talking about) please, don't hesitate to ask! I've learned SO much here in my own, short membership. And every day... learning more...

Thankyou - how is your planning coming along, do you think many ppl will be travelling for your big day from Scotland?! Are you going with a wedding package from the hotel or something else.........I know questions questions questions just so happy to find someone else who knows exactly how I feel lol Quote: Originally Posted by blinkgrl119 Congratulations!

Hi Cara I have never been to Mexico! Just fell in love with the place we had looked at Niagara Falls, Vegas (at times when it was getting too stressful lol) and the travel agent was trying to sway us towards Cyprus as thats her area where she would normally talk ppl into getting married but I just wasnt really interested in the idea. So Mexico here we come! Kenmare is beautiful was only down there a few wks ago actually I love Kerry but it is so expensive here now its ridiculous. Weddings here at the moment are deposits on houses. Its unbelievable my fiances two sisters are getting married this year one got married in Spain in April and 70 of us travelled there and it was beautiful the weather was bad alright for a few days but it was a really nice few days. His other sister is getting married in Ireland and her bill alone for food and a bar extension is 10,000euro so I loved the idea always of making a holiday out of the day and for it to be celebrated for a few days, not just the one day and that be it. Thankyou for the much appreciated advice also - once I am there I think and hope I will be able to chill out and no worrying or anything I think from that point on I will have to let it all go and relax! Thanks again for the comment x Quote: Originally Posted by Cara Gardner Hi Lenore, congratulations for an exciting year ahead of planning and your eventual wedding in Mexico! Have you been there before? You're going to love it. My husband and I planned to have our wedding in Kenmare but had to eventually change plans because certain important people just couldn't make it on my side of the family. His dad and much of his family is from Ireland. It's so amazing to me that an Irish girl would travel thousands of miles to be married over here in Mexico when all I wanted was to have my wedding in Ireland!! Certainly now it would be impossible with the Euro/$ exchange rate, so I get why Mexico is perfect! My husband is travelling to SW Ireland in a couple of weeks to lead a photography tour. Anyway, I can't go because of the euro situation but will pray to be able to return to your magical country some day soon!! Also as a past bride and a wedding photographer, remember that your wedding is YOUR day and YOUR memories. Make it a point to take care of yourself and make certain that you feel happy and joyful. It's the best gift you can give yourself. I really emphasize this when I'm working with the couple on the wedding day. Relax, Enjoy, breath and savor the amazing moment. Cheers!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, its nice to know that there are so many other ppl out there somewhere fretting over the same things as me! I appreciate you all taking the time to welcome me bear with me while I try to find my way around the site!

Im from Cork born and bred there! Its a small world! Quote: Originally Posted by townie princess Welcome to the forum - you'll find lots of help on here!

Thank you, I am from Cork, Clare is a really nice area alright, what part of the US are you from?! Quote: Originally Posted by Autumn welcome, Lenore and congrats!! what part of Ireland are you from? I spent a season living/working in Lisdoonvarna in Co Clare and absolutely loved it!

Thanks girl, I am goggle eyed from all the info, thankfully the trav agent I bkd through has been there too and can advise on stuff. Have you been there before at all?! Quote: Originally Posted by lucy106 Welcome Lenore! Thankfully for us Dreams Cancun brides there is a ton of DC info on here! Let me know if you need help finding info.

The planning has me a little bridezilla-ish already lol well just dealing with ppl having to have their say about this that & everything! What part of Ireland are you from?!

Thank you Quote: Originally Posted by deznchris2006

Thankyou - nice pic btw! I nearly have square eyes at this stage from all the researching online lol Quote: Originally Posted by JamaicaBride062108 Congrats and happy planning! You'll find lots of info on Dreams!

Oh wow so you are prob more or less totally organized so! I am not sure what to do re: anything Irish, in fact we were thinking as there would be so many Irish travelling that we would incorporate more Mexican stuff into the day to make it that bit different from any other wedding they have been at?! Where is your fiance from, you could still get someone else to do the reading?! You have to let me know about your big day sounds very exciting! I think Im more nervous than anything at the moment as its in the early stages! Quote: Originally Posted by RyanAmanda Hi Lenore! We're getting married in the Mayan Riviera later this year. I'm not Irish but FH is! Are you incorporating anything Irish into your wedding? We were going to have FSIL do an Irish reading but she's not coming now. I'd love to hear any plans you have!!!

Thankyou Quote: Originally Posted by Juan Guzman dfotoart Welcome Lenore!! Juan Guzman dfotoart

Its just so expensive to get married in Ireland now! I got engaged in NY - I love NY Im surprised Im not getting married there!

I hope so its a bit overwhelming and confusing to find your way around at first :-/ but I guess Im new to all of this!

Hey thanks for the message - I am from Cork way down south, Ive been to Clare its really nice.
