Is anyone using an outside wedding planner in addition to Yamina?

[Sharon99]

Thanks! Oh, I have used Apple Vacations a long time ago. Good idea! Thank you!

We actually just changed our date from September 2012 to April 2012.

I guess I should start the booking & planning soon.

That is an awesome idea for the save the date & invitations. I may have to steal this idea!

I recently visited EPM and was truly amazed! I've heard that Sandals is overrated.

 

I'm not getting married until July 2012. We booked our recent trip through a local apple vacations travel agent and she was awesome. That was my 2nd time using apple vacations and I would highly recommend them.

 

Also, I'm going to do a boarding pass style save the date and I found the cutest passport style invitations.

Is anyone concerned with having your blood drawn at the resort by some random doc?

I am a little nervous about this, I am sure it will be fine though...

Hi Everyone,

So I've booked my photographer's with Del Sol for me wedding @ EPM on 5/20/2011. I doubt EPM will take any money off of the package since I don't need to use the photographer's that's included. So what would you ladies recommend? How can I still use the photographer that comes with the package in order to make him useful? If I still have to pay for him, I definitely want him to be there and contributing something....just not sure what?

I'm not really concerned. Haven't heard any horror stories about this...so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

I am also using Del Sol...good choice   The hotel only includes 30min with the package, so I have asked if Juan Navarro is available to come and shoot 30 minutes of our rehearsal dinner the night before.  I think having him shoot the wedding might interfere and I'm afraid they would get in each other's shots.

@KeraSmiley Our dates are so close...I'm getting married 5/23/2011. I had the same question about the photographer since we are doing an outside photographer too. We are actually doing a meet and greet on Friday so I wanted to see if Juan Navarro could come shoot that.

 

@SparkleSun Please let us know what they say about your rehearsal dinner....if they will let use the 30 min then.

I would love to know the outcome with this as well. I'm bringing my own photographers from home - only they will be there the whole weekend so I'm wondering what I could do instead of the 30 min of photos...

[Sharon99]

I think using him during the rehearsal dinner is be a good idea!! I hope you are able to do that. Please keep us updated. I am looking into other photographers as well. The photo packages seem pretty pricey using Juan Navarro & I really don't need that many hard copies.

May is right around the corner!! Congrats! I hope everything is beautiful! Post pics!

Good idea about having him shoot the rehersal dinner! I'm going to email Yamina. I'll let you ladies know what I find out.
