Ocean Turquesa & Coral Brides?

[mrskrash]

The fee she will give you is $400 USD.... but you can negotiate with her.... the lowest i've heard her give is $200 USD so i quoted her that, and she agreed to that price for me too! Our photographer will be coming from 2pm-6pm, so it's not over any meals.... if you plan on feeding him/her, you have to buy your photographer and their assistant a day pass... which i believe is around the 80 USD mark each. My brother got married down in the mayan aswell, and after seeing there pictures (a hired professional from outside the resort) compared to the hotel photographer, as well as previoius brides head aches with the hotel photographer... there is no way the extra 200 USD is not worth it....

 

Ana called me at work on friday morning, and we confirmed every detail... she was wonderful on the phone, and i feel like all the worry and stress is gone.... now i can enjoy shopping for my last few things and meet her the day before the wedding to finalize things!!!!

 

4 weeks from today i'll be departing!!!!

But if I bring my pwn photographer with me from home, and pay for them as a guest, there is no extra fee, correct?  Because they are a "paying guest"?

 

Thanks so much!

Jacquelyn thanks for the info! I agree it is totally worth the extra money. I am going to hire Sascha Gluck, his work looks amazing! You must be getting so excited! I still have just about 5 months to go. I cant wait to hear how the last two weddings went!

Hey Lise!

 

We leave December 19.... wedding date december 21! We have 46 people coming out for trip! We cannot wait for sand and sun.... especially since it's been -33 up here this past week! And I cannot WAIT to say I do on the beach to the love of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jacquelyn!

thats awesome!!! you must be counting the minutes, I know I will be! 46 people, that's great. What a surreal and amazing experience it will be to have everyone together for a whole week! or two! I can't wait. where are you from? I am originally from Calgary but my fiance is Norwegian so I live in Norway now. But I have not forgotten the wonderful Canadian winters!!! lol -33 is pretty nasty. thinking about Mexico probably helps!!

I'm originally from manitoba... but I now live in Slave Lake, AB... My hubby-to-be is an air ambulance pilot up here so this is where we have to be! Nice and cold....

Thats funny, I grew up in Bonnyville AB so I am well aware! I guess it's a 4 hour drive from Slave lake but pretty much as far north. I miss home, just not the snow I tried to find you on facebook, I found one Jacquelyn Penner but she had blonds hair, maybe that was you? I am pretty easy to find, Lise Weinberger.
