Congrats, Abby! Have fun planning your big day. This forum is a great resource and everyone is very helpful! Best wishes, Katie

Aventura Spa Palace in Riviera Maya has a gazebo overlooking the ocean and offers free wedding packages and group benefits you might want to check into. Good luck and best wishes! Katie

Welcome and congrats! You will love getting married in Jamaica. The culture and scenery are amazing! Katie

Sounds like you have it narrowed down to two great resorts. There are lots of reviews and pictures in the Mexico sub-forum to help you decide. Best wishes and congrats! Katie

Congrats and welcome! Cancun will be amazing for your wedding. Be careful, this forum is addicting!!! Katie

Congrats and welcome! We photographed a wedding in January and they got married at Reggae Beach then had the reception at Evita's. It was spectacular and here is a link to her review http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t36280. This is an awesome forum with lots of info! Good luck and best wishes! Katie

What a great thread! Sounds like you girls are doing great. We are hoping to plan a trip through Italy and France in 2010 and I can't wait! Congrats and best wishes to you all! Katie

From a photographer's point of view, it sounds great. Expecially since you are getting married in Jamaica and everything is bright, the black will be a good contrast as an accent. We have photographed a few weddings with the bridesmaids in black and they were beautiful. So I vote go for it!

Congrats and welcome! Mexico will be a wonderful location for your wedding. So romantic! Be sure to check out the Mexico forum for lots of great info. Katie

I can't believe that man lived in that hut either. Good location though! I am ready to go back too. I love Jamaica! Your proofs are almost done- just doing some final touches, so they should be online Monday. I will email you! Katie

Congrats! What an exciting time! I live in a very cold part of the US so I can relate to wanting to have your wedding somewhere warm. Great idea! Have fun and feel free to ask questions! Katie

Congrats and welcome! I planned our wedding in about 2 months and it wasn't that difficult, so I am sure you can do it! This site is a great help. Let me know if you have photography questions or would like to inquire about our work! Thanks, Katie

What an awesome location for your wedding! Best wishes, Katie

Hi, Jenn. We just shot a beach wedding in Ocho Rios for one of the brides on here. Some of her pics are posted in her review at this link http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t36280. Let me know if you'd like more information on our affordable photography or just have photography or Jamaica questions. Jamaica is amazing and will be a great location for your wedding! Best wishes and have fun planning! Katie

Welcome to this awesome site! Florida will be a beautiful location for your wedding. Feel free to ask if you have any photography questions. We are also hoping to do a vow renewal in the Keys (just not sure when yet!). Congrats! Katie

We did stay at a smaller all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, but our taxi was not included. From the airport to Runaway Bay (approx. 1 hour drive) was $80 + tip. To go into Ocho Rios (approx. 10 miles/20 min.) was $25 + tip. Not sure if this will help, but it might give people an idea for taxis at least! Things really add up! I was surprised at how expensive taxis were. Katie

I would definitely go with the zebra runners. What a fun theme! Katie

Congrats and have fun planning! The Hawaii section of the forum will have lots of great info for you. What an awesome location for your wedding! Feel free to ask if you have photography questions. Katie P.S. Love your name!

C gets my vote too! I can really visualize that dress in the water and at the beach. D is a very sexy dress that would work well, but I like the color of option C better. Have a great time! Katie

Congrats and welcome! This is a great forum. Jamaica would be an amazing location for your wedding. There are some great ideas in the Jamaica thread as well as under wedding reviews. FLGator just got married there and posted a wedding review. It was beautiful! Best wishes, Katie

Awesome job! Love the zebra print! Katie

Lots of good advice has been posted. I just want to add that it is nice to get another perspective too. Sometimes one photographer will envision a picture one way and another a totally different way. So it is cool to get two totally different pictures at the same time! When I started offering a second shooter for our packages, brides were really excited and have loved getting both of our artistic work. I generally shoot with another photographer so that we can capture all the different things happening, sometimes at different locations, collaborate on ideas together, especially since time is sometimes very limited. With some photographers shooting for travel costs, it is an especially great time! Katie

Congrats and welcome! I love Jamaica and it will be an amazing location for your wedding! Best wishes! Katie

Welcome and congrats! We were there for FLGator's wedding (a bride from this forum) in January. It was awesome! Let me know if you have any questions I can answer! Katie

Congrats and welcome! This site is a great resource, but addicting! LOL Katie
