Hi Taryn! There should not be an outside vendor fee if your photographer is staying at the resort. I always make sure I stay a minimum 3 night stay, then I am a guest at the wedding. There was one time that the resort still wanted to the B&G to pay a small fee, but they talked to their wedding coordinator and they were able to waive it as well. I've never had a problem and never had a couple need to pay extra Was just at Majestic Elegance last week :

you probably need to resize them down a bit, I don't think you can post larger than 10mb

there were so many DIY projects in last week's wedding, I was amazed!

that's great to look for exclusivity with one wedding a day, all the resorts I have been to do multiple a day!

i loooove parasols

congratulations!! I love to see 2013 brides planning their DWs already, that way you can pick the best vendors out there! It always saddens me when someone is really excited to book a few months in advance and of course I am booked a year out!! Love the colors here: http://www.kristinlavoiephotography.com/blog/2012/02/bestof2011/ This was last week's! :

loved this dress! and trashing it!

this is excellence PC, I still think excellence has some of the best resorts! http://www.kristinlavoiephotography.com/blog/2012/02/bestof2011/

the elegance club is much better and so worth it!

this was pretty cool with the different colors and styles http://www.kristinlavoiephotography.com/blog/2012/02/bestof2011/

Trisha couldn't agree more!

congratulations! so close!

i Did a destination wedding in Vegas- stayed there for 5 days. My hubby and I pretty much had zero alone time, which is how we wanted it though -- to spend with family and friends. we went home for a day to repack and then left to negril jamaica for a honeymoon for 8 days. It was a lot of traveling, and during it all we began to regret, but once we were there, omgoodness it was the best time of our lives! no regrets

thank you!! have we emailed?? Surely your name is not Bubbles

I just came back from a wedding un Punta Cana last week. We planned on having the TTD for 2 hours 6-8 pm. Keep in mind the sunset times are different. Back home, it is much later. We assumed sunset being aroun 7-730 would give us ample time of my dream light I always love shooting in. However, it got dark FAST. The sun also set the opposite side of the ocean so it was even darker. If I could do it again, I would have planned it from 5-7 ending right BEFORE sunset to get all that scrumptious light https://vimeo.com/45538139

Check out my Majestic Elegance wedding from last week!

I too bundle deep for my packages, either with complimentary travel or the services! whichever it ends up. But I do not charge my full price package with travel since I like the change of scenery. That being said, it is definitely NOT a vacation. It is very hot and you are dealing with so many other elements like water and sand in every crack and crevice of your equipment, hikes all over the resort, usually 3 days of work at the resort (shooting details, wedding day, and day after) not to mention countless hours of editing and production and all those things you understand. A lot of people think it's a vacation, but I usually am working the entire time and I give myself one afternoon to sleep

it depends on the product
