Questions to all those who have already had a legal ceremony at Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa...

 

Did it take long before receiving your translated marriage certificate? I read on someones review in trip advisor that they got married on June 3 2010 and in February 2011 they were still waiting on the translated license.  can some body PLEASE ADVISE???

 

Thanks!

How long before you received the slide show and how long before you get your actual pictures?  

 

As for the trash the dress session, are those done the day after the wedding? And does Anel take underwater shots?

I had her for the complete coverage as well and she was worth more then every penny we paid.

 

Here is our slideshow and her impressive work.

I see many posts from brides that have used Anel from Adventure Photos. Is there anyone else that is great from Adventure?  I would love to see more photos from other photosgraphers from there!

The photos were ready for us two or three days after the wedding, she was very good at having them to us quickly.  She will keep in mind when you are leaving and will be sure to get you the photos asap.  The slideshow took longer with all the edits and stuff, but she had that ready for us maybe a week or so after we got home.  She emailed it to us...and then the photo album that is included as well arrived about 4 weeks after we got home, it's beautiful as well.

 

We did not do a trash the dress session with her (we did the $999 photo package, everything but TTD) because we had a large reception when we got home where I wore my dress again...You can email and ask her if she takes underwater shots though...she'll get back to you...she is honestly the best....everyone in my wedding party RAVED about her!

Hi Ashley,

 

Thank you!  The girls were very comfortable in their breezy dresses and the colour matched the ocean perfectly...I got the dresses online through Sears.  They were $79.99 which was great since everyone was paying to travel.  The only tricky part was finding the matching ties for the bridesman and ringbearer but it all worked out easily!  The star fish sandals were also from Sears.

 

Good luck with your planning!

We got those at Sears...they were perfect in style but not the most comfortable.  Truthfully, if i was to do it all over again, I would not wear shoes and i wouldn't have the girls wear shoes either.  if you are getting married on the beach they are tough to walk in the sand with and the sand is not hot at all so you can get away with not wearing any...I was so preoccupied walking down the aisle in my shoes because i thought i was going to trip and fall face first LOL...my parents had to hold me up! LOL...i love the beaded toe jewlery...i would probably go with that if I could do it all over again.

I actually just looked online for you (to make sure they were still there) and they are even cheaper now then before ($59.99 now!) and they have a few different colour options.

 

Here is the link

Yes, if you don't make any upgrades you get the 50 pics that are included. I purchased an additional package to get 200 pics instead and that is for the whole day.
