Beaches ~ Turks & Caicos Roll Call!

[mistibuard]

Hi butterfly,

 

The resort has two gazebos and their both in the Caribbean Village area. The one I chose was right behind the restaurant Schooners. It has slightly more shade because of the trees, plants, etc.

 

I also went with the BB package. I didn't have any upgrades, didn't purchase any of Beaches crappy pics, etc. and everything was great! I hope this helps you somewhat.

Hey Misti, your pics were beautiful!  We are paying for our pics ourself and I only wish I could afford Tropical Imaging.  The vision in white theme comes with 12 pics and a video.  I only added the 18 pics for $410.  So... I will only have 20 pics of my wedding  

Photography is sooooo expensive!

I haven't, dont know if i am going to to, but i still have time so who knows! I am stuck on this issue, im not sure if i wanna spend that kind of money, even though the pics are amazing. We are going back and forth to be honest with you. I definitly dont wanna do a trash the dress, but just want some pics of us and our family. Ill keep you posted, lol!

I am SO happy I found this blog! You ladies have all been so helpful!

 

Misti, your pictures are STUNNING! I booked with Ileana as well, and am so excited for the session now!

Hi ladies, I just found this blog and spent my entire morning reading all 56 pages and I’m so happy I did! My fi and I are booked at Beaches TCI for a May 4th, 2012 wedding. Two days after we booked, I was informed that my rent was going up $500 a month (yikes!) so we’re going to be pinching pennies until it’s paid for. I was pretty set on a beach ceremony but after finding this thread and seeing all the pictures I’m really leaning towards a gazebo location now. I think we’re going to stick with the BB package, I was planning on using TI but am not sure if I will be able to now with the increase in rent. I also think I will be stuck having my hair and makeup done at the beaches spa. Does anyone have pictures of their hair and makeup done by the spa there? 

 

I’m wondering how to suggest to my guests that they book at Beaches, I feel bad because it’s such an expense but it’ll really be a strain to pay for day passes for everyone. I sent out an email just saying if the booked anywhere other than Beaches to let me know because I’d have to put them on a list for day passes but I did not say it would be an extra expense. How did you ladies handle this, is there anyway to do it without being tacky? Luckily we’re only expecting 10-15 but with the prices they charge for the passes that could add up quickly!

Hi Misti -

 

Your pictures are beautiful and you looked absolutely STUNNING!!!  We have Ileana booked also and I am looking so forward to meeting her.  When is your AHR?  Are you going to have pictures back for your guests to see?

[Stella5511]

I have chosen to go with the 18 images for $410 through Beaches, along with the Deluxe Edit DVD.

 

Does anybody know if they just take 18 images and thats it? Or do they take way more and give you the option to buy more after you see them? I dont want to committ, and then end up hating the quality of the pictures.

 

My fiance and I are doing the Trash the Dress with Ileana a couple days after the wedding, but our family wont be in any of those.

Welcome back Misti! Sorry to hear about the luggage situation. You handled it like a champ! I LOVE your TI pictures! I am talking with Ileana now on booking with her. I actually paid for a Beaches photo package already (unfortunatly),but after seeing your photos I decided I really want to use them. Pictures is one of the most important things to me, so I will find a way to do this!!! What time of day did you take the pictures? I am trying to decide early in the morning, or sunset? Congratulations!!
