Former or future St. Lucia brides...need your help!

[efischer]

Good news: my fiance and I have 98% decided to have our wedding in St. Lucia! So excited!!

 

Bad news: that is as far as we have gotten...

 

We have been looking into the Windjammer (which looks amazing!) but I would love to get advice from former brides who have wed there or at an alternate venue. We are definitely planning on a budget but are open to any and all suggestions!!!

 

Also, does anyone have recommendations on photographers?? I would LOVE to have someone with a photojournalist stye but haven't seen come across anything close to it. And I don't think we can afford to hire someone from the states to accompany us for the wedding =(. If you have any suggestions, or know of someone in St. Lucia (or who may plan on going there March/April 2010), please let me know!!

 

Thanks all!!

We're flying our photographer over from NYC in January. Not sure if you've set a date yet, but if Jan 9th is feasible, I'm sure he would be able to do both, and we could split the travel costs.

Sorry I didn't see your post before. It got buried!

 

I have never been to Windjammer, but have heard wonderful things about it. We got married through a private villa, so I'm thinking that is something totally different than what' you're looking for. Had we done a resort, I would've probably chosen Windjammer though.

 

For photographers, we were going to hire Ray from Karay Media Karay Media Productions - Wedding Photography in St. Lucia The reason we didn't was because we won our photography and videography from BDW (KLK Photography and Blue Sky Videos)!

 

Many girls have gone through Awesome Caribbean Weddings to plan their big day. It might not hurt to check them out. I highly recommend looking into getting married on Pigeon Island. Simply gorgeous and many great spots for pictures.

 

I hope this helped at least a little bit. Also, check out the Official St. Lucia Brides thread.

I'm also looking into Windjammer but haven't heard back from anyone I've contacted. Have you heard from someone from the resort? Will keep you posted as I find out more info!
