Wedding date advice please.

Hi Everyone,

 

I could use some advice. Just as a quick note, I have to re-plan my wedding.

 

We've decided to get marry just the two of us in Cabo and have a reception in Los Angeles later.

 

We decided we wanted to be married on 09/01/08. The photographer we REALLY want to work with is only available in 10/08.

 

Here's my question:

 

Should I move our date to October? I'm worried about the weather in Cabo.

 

or

 

An alternative is to keep our date use another photog and fly back down for a trash the dress session with the photog we want to work with.

 

Keep in mind I am in the planning stages so nothing is definite yet except my fi.

 

 

TIA,

Marguerite

Have you considered getting married during the week? Maybe the photographer you want to hire has a week day open. IMO if you love the photographer, and if it's just the two of you, I would work around his/her open dates. Unless of course the date you picked holds meaning to the both of you.

I agree with Tammy!!

 

If the date isn't a special one for you.... I would work around the photographer's schedule.

I think I would be more nervous about bad weather in September than in October.. we were married Oct 28.. sunny and 93 every day.

The second trip for the TTD is a good idea if that's what you really want the photog for. But otherwise I agree with Tammy - unless the date is special, work with his open dates.

Thanks everyone. I will talk to my fi and see how he feels about it. The date doesn't have too much meaning. We wanted a date we could remember and would be good timing to travel on our anniversaries.

 

I will talk to to both Las Ventanas and One and Only Palmilla. We're down to picking those two locations.

i have to echo angela -- sept 1 is smackdab in the middle of the hurricane season in cabo, so the liklihood that you'd be totally rain-free is pretty low. october is a much safter bet for clear weather.
