I have Del Sol ==> Booked http://delsolphotography.com/blog/ for my wedding on February, 18th. They are the first vendor I booked, The Day after I booked the hotel.  There work has been seen in magazine around the world and have been voted one of the top ten destination wedding photographers in the world. They are a little pricey, but they take “Quality†to a new level by there unparalleled ability to capture photo journalism.  If you love the Del Sol style, but would prefer a more economical choice. Matt, Owner of Del Sol is started another company under the Del Sol umbrella called La Luna.  Their website is located HERE -> http://www.lalunaphotographers.com/  You should take a look; I believe some of the pictures posted on the website are of Best Destination Wedding Brides.  -
That is sooo awsome. Del Sol Always seems to rock anything they do! ... I can not wait untill your slideshow is posted. It makes my day when they post new stuff. Â Where was your wedding located?

It is true. You are not suppose to have any outside vendors...However with that being said. Me and a lot of other girls that have booked Del Sol are just going to buy the two photographers day passes and not say anything to the wedding coordinator. I am going to tell them that the onsite photographer is not longer needed. If they ask why, I will simply explain that a family member will be taking all photos. Â This has seemed to work well in the past.

It really depends what you want and what your budget is. If you have a specific look you are going for, or if you want a photographer that does something that the resort photographer does not TTD, late hours, ect) then I would book a photographer. If you looked at the resort photographer and are happy with their pictures stay with them. I am sure the resort wouldnt hire someone that isnt a professional.  I personally feel in love with my photographer  I have Del Sol http://delsolphotography.com/blog/ booked for my wedding on February, 18th. They are the first vendor I booked. I booked them the day after I booked the hotel because I was paranoid they wouldn't be free lol.  I love their style. Their work has been seen in magazine around the world and have been voted one of the top ten destination wedding photographers in the world. They are a little pricey, but they take “Quality†to a new level by there unparalleled ability to capture photo journalism. If you love the Del Sol style, but would prefer a more economical choice. Matt, Owner of Del Sol apparently started another company under the Del Sol umbrella called La Luna.  Their website is located HERE -> http://www.lalunaphotographers.com/ I believe they start around 400 an hour.  You should take a look; I believe some of the pictures posted on the website are of Best Destination Wedding Brides.

Small Wedding - what itinerary?
skadow replied to anandres's topic in Wedding Etiquette, Traditions, to dos
We rented a sound system for the event, but not a DJ. I don’t want to get stuck with someone corny. We might do a few dances to a few select songs but other than that the music will just be background music. We hired a 3 man trio. We are going to have a Private Dinner and Cocktail party on the beach/cove area with lots and lots of paper lanterns hanging from the gazebo and palm trees, tiki torches and decorative tables.  11:30 Makeup /Mani/Pedi at the Resort Spa 1:30 Hair at the Salon 4:00 Ceremony 4:30 Wine and toasting 5:00 Cocktail Party (Should we have our trio play here or have general music? Bride and Groom Photos) 6:00 Dinner/Speeches 6:45 General Trio (If have the music earlier, I will just have background music playing) 7:30 Cake/Mayan Coffee 8:00 General Music Playing/Dance of some sort/ Socializing. People can go their own way if they want.  -
I was just so impressed by my order I had to post. Â I was a little skeptical of ths vendor/store because their online site is really ugly but. ... Â I order 50 Wine/Egg Plant Puprle Sashes from CV Linens http://www.cvlinens.com/sashes-organza-sashes-c-21_29.html for $0.68 a sash. I looked for a very long time for egg plant purple. Most sites have Lilac or purple purple but not egg plant purple. Â I got the shipment today and the color is OMG spot on! Â I was really worried about the color match because I am renting the rest of the linens down at the hotel. I was scared if the color wasnt a true egg plant and more of a lighter purple that it would look stupied. Â The price is great too!!! I'll try to post pictures tonight. Â

My undergrads is in graphic design so I will probably do something fun for the printed portion. I was thinking about using my printer at home, however if the stock is too thick or odd shaped I might just give the design files to a local printers and make them deal with it. Â When you said your DYI projects would look like a 2nd grader I got a laugh out of that. Mine would look just like that. I am good at designing stuff ,but I HATE crafts. I would have glue on everything and probably just start crying hehe. Â I will probably print my envelopes unless a family member wants to do them for me. I am dyslexic and have unreadable hand writing. Chances are only half of the invites would get their. Â When are you going to create yours? You soooo have to post a pictures. Â I was pretty impressed with all the chooses Michael's had. I looked at Target/Walmart and online. They by far had the best templates sets. To do them how I want with an online vendor or store would probably cost me hundreds. Which I just cant afford after spending so much on everything else. Â I might use Michael's for my AHR as well. Â I have gotten a few wedding invites in the mail lately and I think by far the Micheal's ones look a ton better. if you do them right. Â
