We're just going to take whatever comes free with the wedding package but I have a feeling I'll end up wanting them to match. Haha. those are so pretty, I'm sure the resort will be able to match yours. maybe you can send your WC a pic so she can have the specific colors/flowers available.

awww you look gorgeous! i almost got that dress i love your flowers!!

it looks great. you look really pretty and i love your dress!!

we're signing papers the monday before we leave b/c it's sooo complicated in Mexico with all of the translating paperwork, blood tests, etc. I want it to be quick and simple; I DO NOT want to even say "I do", lol. I am a little scared that it will take away from the wedding, but it'll be just the two of us, and the view of the ocean is much better than the inside of a court house

they fit Cancun perfectly, they're so tropical. it's cold and rainy here ... i can't wait to go back!!

WOW!!!!! these are AMAZING!!!!! i'm overwhelmed with the oot bags, lol. you should be very proud, your guests will love them!

ooh i LOVE pocket invites!! they look awesome. one more thing to check off the list lol!!

they're very cute!! it seems like you guys had a lot of fun.

i like how soft and flowy it is. it will look really romantic when the wind picks it up. yay for you

i love it!! it's very goddess-like; congrats!!

that's so sweet!!!

it's beautiful and sexy...good job!!

She is definetely cheaper than some of the other photographers that I also like, and the pictures on her website are amazing. My fiance and I will be traveling to Cancun on the 25th of this month and have an appt to meet with her on the 26th. I will be more than happy to ask her any questions in person if you need them answered? Let me know? I have read nothing but good reviews about her on this website. Thank you so much!!! Can you ask her if she feels more comfortable doing beach sessions? Or if she's had any issues with cenote sessions? I'm sure she'll show you a portfolio, can you watch for those shots? She has amazing pics and reviews, but I know the lighting and posing is very different in cenotes so I'm just a little nervous; I'd rather do a beach session with great pics than a cenote session with ok pics. Thanks again!! Have fun

These are gorgeous!!!!! I am debating between Cecilia Dumas and del Sol and now I'm more confused than ever! You guys look very happy. Congrats!

She's quoted $650 for a one hour beach session and $750 for the cenote (b/c of transportation). This includes 40 edited pics; she also said something about a cd with all of the pics (unedited), but it wasn't clear if that was included in the price. The deposit is 20% and you have to wire tranfer it.

Hi ladies, I was wondering if anyone has done a TTD session with Cecilia Dumas in a cenote. I know she does a lot of beach and in-town TTDs, but we would love to do one in a cenote. Her price is MUCH lower than other photographers I've talked to and I'm a little nervous about it. Thanks for the feed back

WOW Susan...I know it's late, but that was an AWESOME review!!! I felt like I was there! Thank you for taking so much time to help those of us that are still planning!!

Hi ladies...just wondering if anyone has done a TTD session with Cecilia in a cenote? Everything I've seen with her has been on the beach. She has told me that she would do a cenote session, but I would love to hear feed back from first-hand experience. Thank you!!

Hi Jenny I had to reply b/c I just came across this resort a few days ago. I've been to a nude beach before and it was sooo much fun...and no tan lines!! I am not the jealous type either, and it seems like it would be a fun couples adventure. However, I must say that I don't feel like it would be the best place to go on your honeymoon. It should be about the two of you, experiencing being husband and wife and enjoying that. I just think that you might BOTH get a little distracted, even if its just with talking about what you see (or don't), and it would take away from the newly wed vibe. Fun trip, but for a different occasion. Good luck!!

Great review!! One question...we are also having our wedding at Dreams and then the honeymoon at Secrets Maroma; I wanted to know how you booked the different hotels? Was your TA able to get a deal b/c they are owned by the same company? What did you think a/b Secrets? Ok that's a few questions thanks!!!

They are AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing the info, I'll definately look into her studio some more
