Has anyone used Image Life Photography (Julio Paredes) the photographer the RPRM uses?

[katrina]

julio paredes is no longer under contract with the riu. now they use gionata cossu and his site is Gionata Cossu

Hi! I am getting married at the Riu May 7, 2009. I am now in contact with the Vanessa and she has been able to answer some of my questions so far. I reserved to get married on the beach? Where is everyone getting married? Also, for a reception, is there anyway we can block a time for this part. I dont want to feel like we have to have dinner and then head somewhere else like the disco for the reception (i will have older people that probably wouldnt care for loud music, id like it to be more intimate). Does anyone know how much that would be? Please keep me posted on wedding plans and how they aregoing and then I would love to see pics! So after your weddings I must see your pics and stuff! Getting excited which I am sure you all are too!

Hi-

I know you choose a restaurant for the reception, (with a time I'd assume) I've also read some other posts about people bringing iPods and playing the're own music, but I'm pretty sure it's just in the restaurant area you choose. There are a few other great posts on here, search by RPRM. Hope this helps! Congrats!!!
