I looked intp medimorfis but way tooo expensive so i might just settle for funever too just to record the ceremony or something, im sure family members will be recording the reception.. so we will see...

Were you able to find a videographer?  I really like Mediamorfosis - but they are a bit too expensive for me.  I might just end up settling for the Funever videographer that the GCR/Royal provides, but I'm not sure. 

 

I'll be sure to send more links if I find them too!

 

Carmela

Im considering not having a cocktail hour due to timeline. If we get married at 5 pm and reception starts at 6 than i dont think its wort/necessary. Any thoughts???

AMAZING PICS!

One of the most important aspects was to choose the right photographer, as the wedding day goes by super quick and what's left out of it is great memories that are captured in photos:) so, I took the choosing of the photographers super seriosly. I emailed a lot of the different photographers, did alot of the research, emailed my friends several portfolios from different photographers...and we all agreed on Photosincancun (Derek and Lorena) based on the creativity, quality of photos and the price.  I emailed Derek and he replied pretty much right away..after only a couple of emails back and forth finalizing the details, we signed the contract.  The communication was super easy and fast which made me feel good about the whole process of hiring someone that I never met before and who lives in another country.Derek is Canadian and speak perfect English, which made the process even easier!!

I met Lorena for my make up trial (she is a photographer but also does make up and hair) a couple of days before the wedding.  She carefully listened to how I wanted my make up and hair and we did the trial which turned out to be perfect!! Lorena is fun and creative, she knows make up and hair really well! If she agrees to do your hair and make up- consider yourself lucky! ( I know she is super busy).

Derek also suggested to meet and discuss the details before the wedding, so if you are not too busy with family and other things before the big day-take advantage of this great opportunity!! Lorena and Derek were there for us during the entire wedding day, taking photos of girls and guys getting ready, wedding party photosession, ceremony coverage and the entire reception and dancing.  Derek took a portrait photo of every (!!!) guest we had-this was awesome as all of our guests were happy to see their individual photos! Very thoughtful! I also got lots of beautiful pix of the details, like my shoes, dress, flowers, rings, personalized napins and wedding favours (something that I worked on for soo long and obviously wanted noticed;) ) Working with both of them were super fun and easy, we felt like we knew these guys forever, like they were our friends, and we were just hanging out...they made us feel super comfortable during the entire wedding day and there was this great comfort level established pretty much right away. My husband and his friends found something in common with Derek and my friends and I chatted with Lorena about make up and girls things.  They are young and full of energy!  THeir photos totally show that they love what they do!!!!  We also did a TTD session couple of days after the wedding...Lorena did my hair and make up exactly like it was at the wedding (people that saw the photos were asking me how on earth did we have enough time to do some much in one day- as I looked exactly the same, but of course we did it over the course of 2 days. Another great day with photosincancun-didn't feel like work at all!  We took some pix on the beach and then went to Cenote...OMG! this was not just a great experience but the photos turend out to be absolutely amazing.  Lots of people that have seen them think they are unreal!! 

 

Here are the photos from our wedding day:

If we are back in Cancun, I would love to see Lorena and Derek again and even do another photosession (may be not just of my husband and I;)  )

Derek and Lorena- if you will read this post-thank you very very much to both of you! You  exceeded our epxectations in any way!!

How do you order the brochures?

They are beautiful!! I just received them today. However, be aware that they are very large and thick and therefore you will not be able to include them with your invitations unless you want to pay extra for a larger envelope and more postage. I suggest you order the hotel CDs which are the brochures in an electronic version. I am hoping they can send them to me before the end of this week so I can include those in the invitaiton envelopes and send the invitations out already!! Ugh!

 

 

Thanks Bonnie I told FI about it he was like "not happening lol" just curious to see if any have done it...

Did you have a videographer?

I saw one during my last year site inspection, it was pretty cool and original.  My hubby aka "FI at that time" found it a bit lame...maybe it was a bit too theatrical for his taste.

Thus, it is all about what you want.

 

Ok Ladies and Ladies..

my photog, Sascha Gluck, just posted some of my pics on his blog...beautiful pics...and I am so proud of myself for hiring him as our photog (ok hiring and firing are part of my daily life..but still!!!) so happy and can't wait to see the rest of the pics!

Love!!! mines is similar to this...

Also you can avoid the vendor fee by just getting them a room at the grand caribe which will be in the 100.00's so you pay less..

I can cheaply and easily have prints made on my own and/or get wedding albums made on Shutterfly or a hundred other sites! The other big bonus was that he will deliver all the images & DVD before you leave! I wasn't so sure about paying and then waiting for international mail...

 

So, Jose is doing our photos and video. His work is really nice and the prices are the most reasonable I have found. You can get more info by filling out the contact form on his site. He got back to me the same day only hours after my initial email!

The Royal quoted us $350 USD for their outside vendor fee (ouch) and I would be very interested in getting it waived if anyone has advice on how to do that. I have asked my wedding coordinator (Katia) and she insists that it cannot be done but... 

 

We have a travel agency looking after all our bookings and I think that is totally the way to go! Our agent handles all the details and concerns - she has arranged for connections and transfer flights for some people so that we can all be on the same flight, she has fought with the resort for guaranteed space and reduced pricing (and won!), she even takes care of the airplane meal requests & seat assignments and rooming lists. My fiance & I got an automatic upgrade to first class and we get 2 more first class seats for every 20 people. I'm sure I would have had at least three aneurysms by now if I had tried to do this on my own!

Photosincancun dont over video?? Im looking for a package deal with both photo and video , any suggestions?

Hi congrats,

Would you mind sending me any pics? please inbox me for my personal email..

She said it worked wonders and kept her from sweating... Just an idea.

Does anyone know if Kids pay full price or how much for kids???

I was just wondering.this question goes to all of you... How many of you guest staying within the Real resorts??
