Secrets St James/Wild Orchid Weddings 2012/2013
LisaJoy replied to kristencanada's topic in Jamaica Accommodations & Site
Aquasun Images provide generic work. It's like handing a fmaily member a professional camera and them taking your pictures. They take sunset pictures of couples during sunset hours and sell them. We did give OUR camera to one of the photographers who took some pictures for us in the sunset. We called them our "engagement" photos though it was the day after our wedding. LOL (Note: the photographer put our image card in his camera {it was compatible} so we had all the shots and he would not get into trouble taking our photos. We tipped him $20.) We used WPA Jamaica. Photos are on my profile. We loved them!! I would suggest using Clayton. We used Rounald. Clayton has a quick turnaround and does EXCELLENT work!! Maybe WPA Jamaica would work in engagement photos as a package deal? -

Also, there really in no difference between St. James and Wild Orchid other than: - St James is the party side. WO offers a private beach for Preferred Club members. Very nice and quiet. We hung out mostly at the SJ pool area while family was there. They stayed at SJ. Once they left, we hung out in the WO beach area. - WO has newer rooms. Contemporary and SUPER close to all restaurants. In my opinion, WO will always be my preference. HOWEVER, if you are looking to watch the $$$, then SJ is completely fine!! The resort is not as large as one may imagine with two names. It really is in close proximity. -

Quote:Originally Posted by Jennkn87 Does anyone know who the resort photographer is? I am trying to decide if I want to hire an outside photographer or not! From past brides, I would not suggest a resort photographer. They only shoot for one hour and from what I was told, the photos are equivalent to handing a family member a quality camera. Just what I heard. We used WPA Jamaica and LOVE our photos. You can check them out in my profile album. It was worth the money, to us. -

Quote:Originally Posted by Jennkn87 Also...the Iberostar only having one wedding a day really intrigued me. My FI told me I AM NOT aloud to change my mind now...so if I am going to switch resorts, it's going to have to be a decision I make pretty quickly! Sorry for sooooo many questions!! Secrets offers up to 3 weddings a day however truly does not affect yours or takes away anything from yours. I promise!!! Most couples do simple weddings in the gazebos which takes 20-45 minutes. You would never know it unless you happened to be on the beach during that particular wedding. If you have a large eloborate wedding and reception, trust me, you will be noticed and the highlight of the day! -

Quote:Originally Posted by cora4600 Can I ask what travel agent you used? Or who you would recommend working with? Cindy Watty http://alfrescotravel.com/About_Us.html Cindy was SO informative. Repeatedly checked in with us. Weeks up to our depature, provided travel tips, tips on Jamaica, etc. A very detailed and honest travel agent. She booked the hotel/airfare and got the best rate out there! The hotel knows Cindy well and often works with her. While we were checking into the hotel, I saw some suitcases with the luggage name tag "Travel Impressions" then you fill in your own info. Cindy sends a travel care package to everyone prior to their trip including luggage tags. I smiled when I saw her luggage tags on someone else's luggage. She is a fantastic travel agent!! -

Quote:Originally Posted by cora4600 Hey guys! I was wondering what time everyone had their weddings at? The day that my fiance and I wanted already has a 4pm wedding, so the only other option is at 2pm, which just seems odd to me. SO I thought I'd see how it worked for everyone else? I think my main concern is what you do after the wedding? It seems too early to have dinner and to late to do lunch. Help!!! -Cora I did mine at 4pm and worked out perfectly for pictures! If you start too late, some of your wedding photos will have a dark background rather than those cool sunset shots you want. My wedding photographer told me to stick with the 4pm time slot rather than pay extra for 5pm or 5:30pm. We ate dinner at 7pm. Had reservations at the French restaurant - even ran a little late getting those last minute perfect shots! -

I uploaded some photos we just received from WPA Jamaica on my profile if you would like to see their work. Though the photos were delivered 2 months late, past the written agreement, which upset us....we love them!! -
