25 isnt small for a DW... Im shooting one in the virgin islands in May that has like 8 people. I think its going to be just as fun
and ya. you just have to weigh out all the pros and cons and what you value and what photographers there will offer and what flying in a photographer offers. Most photographers there are just with you for the day or part of the day. Where as bringing in a photograpehr they are usually with you for the days they are there.
choosing a photographer is going to be one of your most important decisions so choose wisely young grasshopper

LET ME JUST SAY THIS...
PLEASE.... please please please please... all you couples out there.. no matter what songs you pick for your first dances... MAKE SURE.. and i cant stress this enough... listen to and make sure you understand the lyrics and what the song is about.
a few times i've shot weddings where they father/daughter or mother/son or the couple will dance to what seems like a nice song till you listen to the lyrics. It's a little awkward watching a father and daughter dance to a song about "getting it on".

let me tell you this... you are going to LOVE PDC i'll be down there again in 12 days and every time i go there i love it more and more. there are just soo many fun places to go and see and restaruants to eat at and scuba diving and mayan ruins and AHHHH i cant wait to go. i have the best job in the world.. hahaha

i thought you were gonna say it would be the first time you met EVER... woulnd't be the first with this internet dating
My advice is don't do it on blind faith. websites and venues and vendors can be misleading
a trip down can save you a lot of heartache, headaches, and money in the long run
IFFF you cant swing it. make sure you do lots and lots and lots of research and reading of reviews from brides and grooms on here who have had expeirece with those places
-
man best of luck with the search. i know there are a trillion in vegas area. sadly i am of no help for vegas though.
all the ones listed on here though look good to me

Everyone make sure and send your condolences to Stacey and Adam Bendzick (staceyandadam) Stacey just lost her mother yesterday to an on going battle with cancer. I am feel so bad for them all because she was a great lady and I am so glad that she was able to make it to the wedding and was in great health down there. I know you will all show your support and send love and condolences.

FIRST OFFFF...... i think morgan wins "PERSON OF THE YEAR" award.
Secondly... sad face that you had to deal with that. thats nothing but stress stress and more stress. hopefully you are able to work everything out and be happy with both photos and the mentality and personality of your photographer

i personally even voted for him over my very own photographer, who was also up for votes. ever since i booked with the first photographer who's work i liked, instead of waiting and doing more research (prior to discovering BDW, dammit!!) to find the best photog for my money i have ALWAYS wished we went with JM instead.
jenny you are so lucky to have discovered him before another photog
.................plus, i have met him in person too and i can tell you, he would dance on tables if he had to, to make sure you were happy seriously tho, i only hung out with him a couple hours and i could tell from that experience that jenny isnt exaggerating when she says he is a great guy who just knows how to run the show and make sure things happen the way you want!
props to jenny for a great choice, and to JM for being not only a fantastic photog with an amazing eye, but for being a cool dude tooQuote:
but yes. look beyond the portfolio and give them a call. chat with them a bit. see if you can relate with them and talk to them cause you are stuck with them for a while -

how do i do it 17 redbulls, 6 lines of cocaine, 9 shots of adreneline, 2 injections of hgh, hypnosis, and a 5 pound bag of pure sugar.
oh wait. i dont do any of that. i guess i just have lots of energy and love what i do. how can i not
definitely blushing. i can't tell you how wonderful it is to be so appreciated for what you do. its such an honor to be thanked by people you dont really know for doing your job, and not just the wedding party, family, or bride and groom. not many can say that and i feel very blessed -

so being that i never watched it and hearing the uproar over what happened from like EVERY SINGLE WOMAN on earth hahaha and having met the guy I wonder how much was set up by the producers and how much he had choice in the matter and it was all preconceived.

So glad to see someoneelse who got married down there

I do know that there was this taco stand on the main strip into the city that had some amaaaaaaaazing food. it had a big red awning and there were about 30 local people in line. so you know it had to be good.
