I love the sex on the beach ;-) Ladies, do you all have any guests who are nervous about the violence in Mexico? One of my BM (a very close cousin) told me she wasn't gonna make it because of the violence! I'm so pissed!

people are ALWAYS worried about the violence. we were in playa last spring and people thought we were insane for going. it was a complete non-issue! unless you have guests who will be driving through the border towns, they have nothing to worry about. it doesn't affect the resort towns.

Do you know how many posts it takes for member status? i tried looking it up and gave up lol


I think I am doing luggage tags as a dual favor (well, one of them) and place card ...or maybe i'll put a note in it like "thanks for traveling far and wide to be here on our special day"

Hi Ladies,

 

1. Tables: We are doing local tequilas with a table number and a bit about the tequila

 

2. The violence issue is a non issue. One of the reasons I love Playa sooooo much is because I feel so safer. Just this past Nov when we were there we were out till 4am and walked around no problem. The people are so friendly. I honestly feel safer there than in New York City.

Hey girls, who has hired a photog? The obvious choices (according to this forum) seem to be Elizabeth Medina and Del Sol. Has anyone hired these two? Is anyone aware of their pricing - I would assume given their popularity, they are likely $$$. The costs seem to just keep adding up!

 

Has anyone hired someone besides the two aforementioned that may be a little more reasonable in pricing, but still take creative/artistic photos other than the usual group shots?

I hired mike cantarell for our video since he is so highly recommended. I am going to use his group as well for my photos (i decided this later to avoid more vendor fees). if you find his work online he seems to have good work.

Yes, use Samuel Luna! He is just as great as Del Sol but half the price.

Yes agreed, I am also using Samuel Luna. He is very fast with his replies. I am not sure how his pricing is looking these days but when I booked last year his prices were amazing and work is equally as amazing.

I'm using Ivan Luckie. He's really quick with his emails and in my opinion very reasonably priced. We're also using him to do a TTD session.

I am using Nathan Cordova. I could not afford either photographer and Nate is super cheap but takes the same quality/artistic photos.
