Allison, I think that you will be happy with your choice. Either photographer does good work and you will not be disappointed. Good Luck!! Jess

Congrats Ladies!!! Jess

I think it's your wedding and you should do as you want. I don't think that people would be mind if you stated no gifts on your invitation. Jess

I wish I would have such luck!!! Jess

I love the green ones but I think the orange would go better with the dress. Jess

I ordered Parasols for my wedding in November. I'm just using them for the pictures and not the actual ceremony. Jess

I love the colors!!! Jess

Erika, I'm all about meeting up for a Margarita!!! Believe me, I think I'm going to need it. I will in Cabo from the 9th to the 19th!!! I feel that I'm at a standstill right now. I'm not quite sure what I need to do. It's almost as though I'm forgetting something. What about you? BTW, are you doing your own menus? The pics look amazing. I can't believe that she had teasers for you so quickly. Jess

I heard that The Office is a good place to hang out and have dinner. Jess

We're getting married in February 2010 so I'm trying to figure out when I need to decide for sure and put money down! I had to put 1/2 down three months prior and then I have to pay in full a week prior to the cruise. I think that you should secure your date sooner than later. Jess

Your pics look good!!! Where did he shoot them at? Jess

I'm not tied to my last name at all (Guajardo) and I'm not looking forward to my new name (Huculak). It would have been nice if my FI's last name was Smith or Jones. LOL!!!

Deanna, I love your pictures. They came out great!!! BTW, how did you like the fire dancers? Who did you use? Congrats on your wedding!!!! Jess

There wasn't a big hesitation on my WC side. I just have to provide her with a list of the guests that are not staying at the hotel. I think you should ask you WC. Let me know what she says. Jess

My wedding is in Cabo. Initially, I was looking for a local photographer thinking the costs would be reasonable or within my budget. However, the photographer that I wanted wasn't available on my date plus he was about $7000 without the album. I started looking in town and I came across a photographer that was willing to give me a deal so she could build her portfolio. The photographer I hired is charging me $1500. That includes -2 photographers (all day) -TTD session -$800 credit towards my album I paid an additional $1400 for travel expenses for the photographers at the Dreams Resort. At the end, I was pretty happy but I still have to wait and see how my pictures turn out. Jess

I just mailed my invitations last week and requested RSVP for October 1st. For the most part, everyone that is going has already booked their trips. At this point, I don't really expect any more guests. I think I'm should have about 45 guests total. The countdown is making me nervous!! Jess

Sorry, but I didn't have any luck at all. I'm actually going to rent my tuxs at home and taking them with me to the wedding. It really sucks but oh well. Let me know if you have any more luck!! Jess

Thank you for sharing!!! I love your pictures. Nathaniel did a great job!! Lucky you!! Jess

I having guest take some of the stuff. I actually haven't to much thought into it because I'm sure that I will be fine. I'm not too worried. If anything, I will ship a box of stuff beforehand. Jess

The pass is currently $89 per person, I think. Thankfully we only have 4 people staying off site so far. But it is still a large expense to inccur ($712) for both events. Sorry, for the late response. I was in Vegas and it took me a couple of days to get back into the swing of things. My WC waived the day pass so I don't have to worry about this. Thanks goodness!!! I have about 15 guest staying at different locations. Jess
