Sorry to hear about the family illness - its a tough situation already without the wedding.  But you've taken the right first step - BDW is a great place for info.  Based on your other post it looks like you are interested in a mid-week wedding so that is probably a good thing considering some of these vendors book up so far in advance.  Start with the officiant - Matthew Sweeting is the name that comes up the most - he's marrying us next month too.  His website has all the info you need about applying for a marriage license and he also provides services to help you with it.  He/his assistants might also be able to recommend some locations for the ceremony outside of resorts that require packages.  Here's his website

For flowers I'm using Wildflowers.  they are super nice.

We're not doing a video but for photography we are using Tim Aylen.  I think most photographers will do 1 hour although the price is probably a little steep.

I know it seems overwhelming now but you CAN make this happen.  Good luck.
