I agree, it's so great you have the same photog doing all these different shoots for you. Lucky you! You have such great memories to treasure!

If you don't find someone you like in Houston and want to consider Austin, holy cow my BD photog is ridiculously good. She's constantly featured here for her wedding photography and was just featured in the newest edition of The Knot Texas. -

I know Amy. I'm just starting to have those dreams where the cake is a single cupcake or all purple and I can't shake them.

Celina is another bride doing this too, I think. Or was until she had to change resorts. Um, her username is something like cjbarder0... -

OMG I love this story! The way you describe it all with such a good attitude is quite amusing. You got some really good side-of-the-highway pics out of it! I totally thought those were just made up shots. I'm glad it all worked out, but I do hope you raise some holy hell from them.
BTW, love it that you're changing your siggy pic so often. It's fun to see all the different pics!

Are you kidding me, your New England-themed AHR is going to be a blast!! I can't wait to see the pictures. When is it?

Amanda, this is a pretty mild summer so far (by Austin standards). It was mid-90's that day and breezy once we were moving on the water. We've only hit a 100 degrees a couple times so far this year, which is weeeeeeird for Austin. I'm just glad the hurricane held off until this week. It's been nonstop rain for 3 days now.

Do you live somewhere that you could do the boat?
Thank you Meredith! -
Congrats, that's hard to do!! TYs are so tedious.

Hi ladies! Things have been crazy lately, but I've finally had a chance to put together a quick slideshow of our AHR this past weekend. We had sooooo much fun! As most of you know, we rented a party barge and took everyone out on the lake for a few hours. I had planned all kinds of details, but once we got on the boat, none of that seemed important anymore. Some things got set up but I just threw the rest by the wayside so we could all have a good time. And fun we had!!
I've created a quick slideshow highlighting the fun:

AmyKH, LOVE the wedding video!! It looks like you all had such a good time. And I also checked out Chris's pics on FB. Fab!!! So jealous you got pro shots for this event.

As most of you know, we rented a party barge on Lake Travis and took everyone out for a few hours. I had planned and planned for this, having almost as many details as our wedding. Some materialized and others never happened once we got on the boat. For example, I had planned to decorate the cupcakes with pink and orange cocktail umbrellas but well, that just didn't seem to matter when the time came! We were having too much fun and the most important thing was getting the cake cut before a big wave hit and toppled everything over, LOL. Such is life when you choose a party barge to host your event! Details or no, everyone had such a blast.

And yes, picking the photog is definitely hard! For us the resort was the hardest choice, photog came a close second! -
You can check out mine, Andrew Jordan Photography. There are links under my siggy. If I recall your budget was $5000 for photog? He'd be waaaay under that! Are you thinking of bringing one with you, choosing one from the resort, or someone else in Mexico? I can think of a few other names if Andrew isn't your style.

LOL my birthday was a week before my AHR and I didn't want to do ANYTHING! I was so planned out. We ended up doing a quiet dinner with just 3 of us but honestly I could have just stayed home on the couch!
-
AmyKH, I see from your siggy that you have another reception in a couple months?! Wow girl you really know how to get married!!!! As I recall, this one is being throw for you, right?
-
Hiya ladies! Wow, I go MIA for a week and have sooooo much to catch up on!
My AHR rocked and was so so so so so much fun! It was full of good times and mayhem out on the lake. Perfect weather. I'll post some pics when I have the chance. Everyone was so excited that I wore my dress, and for those of you who remember my botched wedding cake, my AHR cake and cupcakes were perfect!
Lindz, I am officially off the To Do list! HOOOOOORAY!

It's sad to see so many brides have to change from AB.

Do you have your photographer yet or are you looking for suggestions. There are so many out there and they really run the gamut. And it should be a huge part of your budget--it's the only thing you get to take back with you! -

La Panza es Primero. The hotel recommended it. They were able to accommodate us last minute and had plenty of room for all of us (25 ppl). Plus all 25 people only ended up costing us $300 (bargain!). The food was hit or miss. Mine dish was AWESOME but I think some of the guests thought it was just OK. It's definitely real Mexican but some people may be surprised at what that means b/c they're expecting beans and rice with their meal. The best part for us was that the place has a Mexican wrestling theme--think Nacho Libre! This was a total shocker and hysterical. They even have an area set aside where you can put on masks and wrestle. We got some priceless pictures that night! -

So, I made extra sure that during the ceremony I listened to my brother. We all (DH, myself, and my bro) all put so much into writing the ceremony that I wanted to be sure I heard it. And I'm glad I forced myself to listen or once again, I would have been distracted. DH says he doesn't remember a single word--he was too caught up in looking at me

When you start a skin care regimen, it can take a while to start see the changes. I would say months ahead of time is appropriate. You don't want to try any new products too close to the wedding in case you have a reaction to them. Use an exfoliant regularly, microdermabrasion 1-2x/week, facials not more than once a month or so.

BUT..I'm thinking it is possible she might be overcharging...my sister has a TA friend and tried pricing out the hotel for the same days and it was A LOOOOOT less. Did any of you switch TAs and is there any special etiquette for doing it? It comes down to price for me...and I don't want my sister's friend to do all this work for nothing...so if she can save me $$$ I would switch....Thanks
Otherwise, switch TAs. There's no harm and you're perfectly within your right to do so. There's no special etiquette involved; your DW.com TA will know it was b/c of price.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised pricing is already out for 2012. Lucky you getting an early start!!
