Moon Palace 2011 Brides

As a favorite quote from the Crow "It can't rain all the time" and in Cancun that is more true than false at least in my experience. Don't let a little bit of rain ruin your anticipation and excitement.

NEWS FLASH.  If you hired a outside photographer at Moon Palace, please dismiss your "with the package" photographer for the wedding day... Its a conflict of interest to have that many photographers on the property and your photos will have backgrounds with wedding photographers from the hotel.   We had 5 guests yesterday at Moon Palace.   We provide 2 photographers.  Moon palace 1 video + 1 photo.    Wow,  4 photo / video crew is just overboard.   Don't let that happen to you

 

 

I just love this quote:

Thats what I"M TALKING ABOUT... love the optimism.  

 

We once shot a wedding where the client used the farmers almanac to choose the driest day of the year.... RAINED hard on their wedding day... I think that was April 17th or somewhere around there.    Being a pretty tropical climate, storms come and go and we have had very unpredictable conditions in the Riviera Maya... It just rained for 2 days, prior to that 4 -5 month drought.  seriously, no rain at all during that long time mostly all year long.

 

June - November are suppose to be the months with the most rain, who knows.   just know u can't control anything.

 

if it rains, enjoy it thorough your photos

When we left for our wedding (on a Tuesday) the forecast for that Saturday was 80% chance of rain.  It didn't rain once while we were in Mexico...which was two weeks.  It can always change!

Yes it was very windy.  I couldn't wait to take my veil off.  I think you trade off the privacy of not being in the middle of a bunch of hotel rooms for some wind.  I guess it just depends which you would prefer.  I wanted it to be as close to the beach as possible without actually being on the beach.  It made for nice pictures.

Does anyone know if I were to order koozies for my guests, which kind I should get? They offer regular can koozies and also plastic cup koozies.

Good question! I'm curious as well! Does MP allow thermal cups- I am thinking about getting personalized thermal cups or bubba kegs for everyone.

Congrats to all the newly married ladies!!

 

Does anyone know if airport transfers are included? I could have sworn that I read on here somehwere that they were included. My TA is charging everyone $10 to an from the airport. I guess I think this is ridiculous because I thought it was included.

 

Did anyone else have this problem or know what I need to do to fix it?

 

thanks!!
