Thanks! hahah i love how you make it sound like you just signed up for a wife swapping website or something crazy like that. its just a great website to get all sorts of useful information from other fellow couples going through , or having gone, through the same thing as you . you will find tons of useful information. just ask away

its easy to become a bridezilla... youve evnisioned this perfect day for years and years since you were a kid im sure and all the while you have had all the details meticulously organized in your folder and you so desperately want everything to work out perfectly. well the little hurdles and glitches arise like they always will because nothing is ever perfect and you just have to take a deep breath and realize that nothing ever works out like it should and the only really important thing is that you and your love are finally getting married. i see it time and time and time again. no one will notice the slight difference in shades of blue. ive seen brides blow up the day of their wedding over things like no boutonnieres for the groomsmen and other things that no one will ever notice but you. so just put those little things out of your mind and focus on whats important . the love you two share and the love and support of everyone there

im photographing a wedding down in play a in april. i forget which resort it is exactly but the bride said its like a couple resorts all next to each other with a huge central court yard. and one of them allows children. i can find out which resort it is if you would like...

i came up with a great solution to this for another couple. take a plastic bag and put it inside the vase so that the bottom touches the sand and there is plenty of extra bag over the lip of the vase. fill that plastic bag with more sand and the weight of the sand will keep the other sand in place and keep it from shifting around and leaking out. tie that off and then put another plastic bag over the entire thing and tape it all up. if you do it right it should all keep nicely in place for your trip back

ya. just cruise on over to the jamaica threads and ask any question you may have and you'll quickly have all the answers you need. this website is very informative

well that really depends on how many days you want them there and the time of the year. the average couple spends about 2800-3000 to have me with them for 4 days photographing every day including TTD shoots and any other shoots they want done. ive seen photographers offer to do it just for the price of the trip and ive seen photographers charge 8,000. on average though its usually about 2500-3000 from what i see.

why would you be suprised that your friends and family and people that care about you would want to come to your wedding in puerto vallarta?? i dont even know you and id want to come to your wedding HAHA wheres my RSVP

congrats on the new baby saraece

PS. i made a new signature image. can everyone see that okay or are the images too small?

im with you melissaH... im gonna make sure to wear a HAZMAT suite next time i go get the mail. idont wanna get any STD's in the mail hahha.. seriously can we not change then abbreviation to something else.. im still hoping for "DPAEOTD" (Don't Plan Anything Else On This Date.. sure its longer but a lot more pleasant haha)

you got yourself one screaming deal

well talking with a bride now about tulum so hopefully ill get a chance to in april to see the sink hole. ill make sure they coulpe dont get to close haha

if you are facing the ocean you go right and walk past the resort and past all the debris and you get to some old shacks and like an abandoned resort and the beach curves out like a litlte bend and there is no one there at all. so glad i found it

im with you lambert.... i thought the place was just amazing in every way. i dont know who would write a bad review on the place. and looked at your wedding pics... wasnt that yellow wall with the cacti the coolest little place for pics. i loved it

It was really cool over in that area. no . i never saw that... would be cool though to shoot there. ill have to look for next time. that TTD shoot was done just like a half mile down the beach from the dreams resort. the beach was completely trashed in between but then we got to this area where there used to be a hotel or is going to be one and it was soooo nice there and no one around at all for us to worry about. it was awesome

oh you got nothing to worry about... its gonna go off without a hitch ... and even if you get a hitch or two no one will notice but you. so dont sweat it. as long as you are both there thats all that matters

hey those look great... so its a book mark then?
