Senor Jason is here!!!!

You sound like my FI and I, at first we just wanted it to be just the two of us, but then we knew his Mom would throw a fit not seeing her only child get married, now were expecting about 10-12. Still small but larger then I wanted.

Welcome Jason! Congrats on the engagement! Sounds like you are a Mexico expert! Know anything about Puerto vallarta?

I have never been to that side of Mexico, but who knows what the future will bring. But I can answer most questions about the Riviera Maya excluding specific resort info. Just got back from a trip to Rincon, Puerto Rico also which is my new favorite spot. The lack of services, people, noise, tourists are the reasons that I love it there, but also the reason that getting married there would be more of a challenge than I am up for. Maybe for the second leg of the honeymoon trip though.

Given what you've said about Tulum (my husband has stayed at the same place) and your interest in photography, I am now officially recommending Hacienda San Jose. It's inland, but it's made for your tastes. There are 30 to 40 spots on the property that would be perfect for a private wedding (including in front of this amazing tree that is all twisted and textured). I'll see if I can get photos from my husband.

Welcome! I vote for Excellence Riviera Maya as well. We chose this location because it had consistenly good reviews on the tripadvisor.com, 10 bars, 8 restaurants, beautiful grounds, swim-up suites. It just looks perfect and I am really picky about everything.

 

As far as photographer goes, I would like to recommend my FI - he hasn't done any DW photography but he is excellent and he is willing to offer a good package in order to create his DW portfolio. His website - Studio Contempo

 

We chose Sol Tamargo as our photographer. We love modern/contemporary photography and her work is mind blowing.

 

 

Good luck with all the planning!

Welcome to the board Jason! Love it when I see the guys on the board. The photographers on the board are great and I am sure they are all willing to work with you so that your pictures will reflect your artistic personality. Good luck with all the planning!

It sounds like you have a lot of research done already. Congrats on your engagement.

Welcome to the forum Jason- it's looks like you're pretty on top of things. I'm so jealous that you're eloping with just the two of you- I told my FI yesterday that I'm really wishing we would have done this.

I'm sorry to hear Oasis Playa in Cancun has raised their prices- I loved that resort when I was there two years ago, we totally had a blast!

Good luck with the rest of your planning, let us know how we can help. I'm a Cabo bride, so I don't have a lot of info on the areas you're looking at, but others on here do!

Do you know if anyone has ever used the El Dorado Royale Photographer they have assigned to their wedding packages?

 

I too plan on getting married this year, but in the fall. Im not sure if it will be just me and me soon to be husband or if we want to invite our close friends and family.

Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to the board!
