My cousin got married in Jamaica in January and didn't have the reception till summer. It was great and summer is easier for people who have to travelt to the reception anyway. Best wishes, Katie

Congrats and welcome! I would try to find a wedding coordinator in Bermuda to help you with all the details. They know the florists and other vendors to help set everything up! Best wishes and have fun planning! Katie

Congrats and best wishes! March is definitely going to be the most expensive, but this site is great and you will find lots of options and ideas here. Jamaica seems to have beauty yet some very reasonable options for beach weddings. They are also a bit more relaxed in atmosphere and "rules" at some of the resorts. Good luck! Katie

Congrats! What a beautiful location for your wedding! Katie

Well, I know you've gotten alot of responses already, but I'll add mine anyway. The only difference a CD or DVD makes is if your computer has a DVD drive. DVDs have alot more space and the files are very large, so if we burn a wedding, it would be at least 2 CDs, so we usually burn it to a DVD since most computers these days have DVD drives. DVDs and CDs may be obsolete in the future, so it is good to keep a copy of allyour pictures on an external hard drive as well. Photographers are usually instructed (at schools and conventions) not to give up the copyright. Traditionally it was never handed over. In this digital age, however, it is becoming in higher demand and photographers who will sell the copyright get much more business. When we got married, we didn't have a CD or anything but we did purchase it after a few years. Sometimes you can get the high-res images a year or so later for a more reasonable price if it wasn't included initially. One other thing to consider with photographers is to have 2 shooters. It is amazing how many things are going on, and how much more of your day is captured with 2 photographers. It is also great because then you have 2 perspectives capturing with their artistic eyes! Hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions! Katie

You've gotten alot of great answers! Generally the assistant helps the photographer and does not shoot- with lighting, memory cards, carrying bags, etc. We always shoot weddings with 2 photographers and tell everyone to look at me. My husband shoots all candids (photojournalistic) while I do the group shots, etc. We also split up when the bride and groom are separated. We also shoot with different cameras and lenses, so even if we were to take a picture of the same thing, it usually looks totally different. Just make sure you get the details included in your contract! Katie
