nice! have fun in akumal, one of my favorite locations!! be sure to snorkel at the lagoon. where are you getting married? at the ecological center?

michael saab is a good friend and a great guy, based in mo-bay but i think he is a bit more than $1000, but maybe not. jay

less expensive to hire a US photographer!? I would not think so, but then again, a bunch of people above me in this thread will do it for travel only! so i would hire them!! jay

hire this guy ;-) YouTube - Bruce Testones - fashion photographer

if your asking how to choose a photographer, then maybe the images are not that hi of a priority and what it all comes down to is expectations. does not matter if you pay $500 or $15000 for wedding photography, the only thing that matters is that your happy with your images and your expectations have been met. i would hope that both happiness and met expectations are found somewhere before $15000. ;-)

hmmm...4 weeks. that is a long time. honestly, i want to shoot, edit, process and try to deliver before i shoot another one!! once they start piling up, your in trouble.

Talk to Jen at Turtle Bay and ask about it, tell her I sent ya! Jay

thanks guys! it was a fun wedding, i am jelous of everyone packing right now to heading to the beach for their wedding, or better yet, as a guest! jay

everyones entitled to their opinon;-)

ha! you guys are barking up the wrong tree. i am broke! Someone hire Nic or Leigh so they can pay me to second shoot for them!! ;-)
