Hey Joanne - I'm pretty sure most photographers on here would love to celebrate with you, but we're not allowed to solicit. So, if we contact you I'm pretty sure we're breaking the forum rules...someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe, find some of your favorite photogs on the forum and reach out to them?

Welcome to the forum, Anne! Its great to get the planning done, so you can relax and enjoy your engagement as much as possible!

Great review! I'm sure this will be helpful to many brides - I'm shooting at the Royal in November, so I like to keep up on brides impressions of the resort. Thanks!

P.S. You're a stunning bride!

I've been a couple of times and never noticed any bugs - I've only been in winter though. I'm stoked to be shooting there again in a couple of weeks, so I'll know more about what Caletas is like in June.

If anyone needs me to look into anything while I'm there just let me know...I'm more than happy to.

I say trash it! Once in a lifetime opportunity for unbelievable photos...course I'm in the industry...but not all photographers charge extra for a destination TTD, and if you trash your original, there is no need to spend extra $ on a 2nd dress. I think some of my favorite shots I've ever taken have come from TTD shoots.

I will admit though that the pics I've seen have been very nice so I'd say if you wanna have fun with it then just get a knock off that looks very similar to your wedding gown. Check the knock off gown thread and definitely scour ebay!

I've had many brides trash their actual wedding dress, and a few that get a 2nd dress just for the TTD. But, I'm still looking for a bride that will trash 2 dresses No matter what, you have to do a TTD - you'll always be thankful you did. The most amazing photos can come from the TTD session!

FYI - the original post is over 3 years old...hopefully things are better now

If you're concerned about the blood test, you can have a secret legal ceremony at home before the wedding abroad...lots of couples do it that way.
