I confess that Im still bummed we had to cancel our Mex wedding because of swine flu. Our wedding that we planned in 6 weeks ended up being AMAZING in Santa Barbara but i still think about what it would have been like to have the dream beach wedding i had planned for over a year

WOW MarieSam I LOVE your video. You and Tommy look so amazing and happy and of course you are GORGEOUS...but u know that ;-)

Thanks SO much ladies!! DH and I are so happy with how they turned out - we really couldnt have asked for a better photographer!

I personally dont think its tacky it all. We did an email STD with a lot of info on the resort, booking and a link to our website.

Holy Shit Jac those are AMAZING!!!! I agree with Morgan - best TTD location. These need to go in a magazine or something. I cant wait to see more!
