We are using Frank Panaro out of Miami, Frank has done several weddings in Jamaica and knows his way around the island. Another bride on the forum has used him which is why i researched him. Check out his website Miami Wedding Photographers – Frank Panaro Photography and Video We are on a tight budget but his prices are good and he provides you with references and external links to additional pictures. I hope this helps some. Aaawww, you're so welcome, Cynthia!!! I'm glad you thought the idea made as much sense for you and your wedding, as we felt it did for ours! I checked out Frank's site, and I'd say you've made a fantastic decision -- his work is beautiful! Hope everyone else is finding equally-wonderful luck fulfulling your photography needs!

Oh, Holly....sorry to hear your man doesn't want to "play ball" and get the e-pics, but maybe you can bargain with him to get him to do them after all? Sort of a "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" kind of deal? Maybe there is something he loves or has wanted you to do with him (ie. go to a sporting event, etc.) that you could do as long as he agrees to do the pics? In a sort of similar way, I told John that I would watch all three Star Wars movies, if he watched 3-chick flicks with me, and let me just say, he was pleasantly surprised how much he ended up liking "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", "Bridget Jones' Diary", and of course The Notebook", and I ended up being more interested in the Star Wars movies than I had originally thought I'd be! I agree with Erika -- sometimes COMPROMISE is where it's at!

Oh no!!! That last one, "When Pole Dancing Class goes wrong!" was HILARIOUS!!! Who knew that when that woman in the blue went to learn how to swing from a pole with the best of them that she's be getting a boxing lesson too?

You're gonna LOVE being a part of this amazing forum!!! My best advice as you start down the road to your wedding day would be just to take your time and do lots of research before you book or buy anything (attire, flowers, you name it!) and make sure it's all that you've envisioned for your BIG DAY!

That's great to hear that at least you've got your something positive to go on...now, eat up and hopefully things will continue to improve over the course of the night!

DSHayes, I am so sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time right now, but I think you'll find that BDW is a phenomenal source of sisterhood and support. It's never easy to be arguing with a loved one, but feel free to get whatever you need off your chest -- there is always a friend just on the other side of your computer screen in this incredible forum! Be well and hang in there

Amanda -- I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your step-dad; I know that must have been just awful. On a brighter note, you and your Mom look like a daring-diva-duo in your avatar pic -- soooo cute! If anyone else has a Mom & me pic (wedding related or not), feel free to post away and give your MAMA some props today!

I think #2 is the winner! It's so chic, and there is an air of sophistication to it that #1 (while it is a very cute party dress) just doesn't seem to have....and the SHOES!!! OMG, the shoes are absolutely spot on for #2!

#1 fits you like a glorious bridal glove, Katie!!! I think they are both really beautiful, but there is just something so perfect and flattering about the first dress for your fabulous figure, and I agree with the others, dress #2 was a little too much dress for you!
