Hi - I'm getting married in Cancun in April 2010 and so far it has been a stressful mission finding a good photographer. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want photojournalist type photos with AMAZING colors that pop! I really want someone who captures the emotions/fun of the day as well as the beautiful scenery. I want a trash the dress session in the beach also. My SIL used Rudy Arpia for her wedding and we was incredible but I don't want to use the same exact photogrpher they had. I also love Elizabeth Medina but she's unavailable on my day. I would really appreciate any advice? I would be willing to fly a good photographer in if necessary.

Hi - I'm a newbie too! I signed up with destinationweddings.com and I don't want to jump the gun, but so far my experience has not been a positive one. I originally wanted a wedding in PR so I asked her to send me hotel options there and she pretty much ignored my request and sent me only hotels in Jamaica and Cancun. I wasn't too upset because I wasn't 100% set on the location so her input helped me to finally decide on Cancun. What has really upset me more than anything, is that she went way above my budget with the hotel quotes. I reminded her what my budget was, and 2 weeks went by without any contact from her so I had to call her to follow up. After we spoke she sent me a revised quote which was a little closer to my budget but was still A LOT higher than the rates I found on my own (twice as much). The rates she sent me were twice the rate I found on Orbitz.com (which is not a group discount). When I called the hotel myself, I got an even lower rate. That's just my personal experience with my travel consultant.

Hi all - I just joined this forum based on my sister in law's rave reviews. She got married in Puerto Vallarta last year and now I'm getting married in Cancun in 7 months! I'm in the early planning stages. I would appreciate any tips or advice anyone has. So far, my most stressful search has been for a photographer. If anyone has any tips for a great, relatively affordable photographer who does weddings in cancun please send them my way Looking forward to sharing tips on this forum.
