Just ask Keisha if this interests you and you just pay her the $100 when you pay for everything else. 

we did our flowers through tai flora. I would just email them to see if you can get the flowers and have someone else put them together. My bouquet was beautiful though and I had just emailed them a picture of what I wanted.

we used stacey clarke photography! LOVED her..highly recommend. any other questions dont hesitate to ask. We just got back a few weeks ago LOVED the ROR and everything went very smooth for ourselves, our 60 guests and the wedding!!!

I attended my cousin's wedding last month at RIU and he was their photographer. My cousin's wife said she chose him because he does a lot of Usain Bolt's photography and he was fairly priced. They haven't gotten their pictures back yet so I can't comment on the quality of their pictures. I will say he was very nice and good at directing us during group family shoots.  Hope that helps.
