we got our dvd today from the resort...

 

we just have the ceremony as part of our package.

 

all i can say is, if you care about having video of your wedding then you'd better hire someone.

 

the dvd looks like it was shot in 1988 on a vhs 

 

its nice to have, and we really didnt care about the video part of the wedding, but definitely hire an outside video person if it is a big deal to you.

did you get a photo book? I am curious on the quality of those. im dissapointed i have to get an outside vendor for video because i do want one.. its strange they haven't advanced in that area when their photo department is so good. i watched some of the videos on their website i couldn't believe how poor the quality was.

Whats the website for the resort videographer? I planned on just using them but now I'm worried I will be dissapointed.

 

Thanks!

we are waiting for the photo book to come in... very curious as well

 

one other thing that really bothered me is the fact that our slideshows are not available on dvd.

 

i emailed anel about getting dvd copies of them and she said they do not do that and that the website would be up for a "couple of years"... what a waste, we cannot have them forever?

What photo package did you end up getting?

 

I am trying to figure out which one makes the most sense for us.  No matter which one we pick though I want to make sure which ever photos we pick out we can have on a DVD and not just printed copies.  

 

Does anyone know if you can have a DVD of photos with any of the packages?

All the photo packages include a CD of the images. I actually don't think you get any printed images unless you pay for them. Atleast that's what it looks like to me. But if you look at the wedding guide it does say the CD is included in all the packages.

 

We're getting the $1500 package. I want to do the TTD so that made the most sense for us.

Hi Jessica!

 

You are a day before our wedding!! Have you started any real planning yet? Sometimes, I think its way too early to make certain planning decisions... But then I can't help myself. Lol

How far in advance should I contact Eva? I realize they are busy with weddings everyday.  I last heard from her in May to finalize our deposit and reserve our wedding date and spot. However I want to make sure I get all the other details down. My wedding is December 8th.
