Samuel, After choosing the destination, photography is the next most important step of my fiance's and my planning process. We took weeks to narrow down our search of towns, beaches and resorts, finally deciding on Excellence Playa Mujeres. Currently, we have been researching photographers for about a month and a half. As every bride realizes, when the day is over (in the blink of an eye!) all that remains is your memories and photos that will be treasured and shared for the remainder of your lives. While I can't wait to pick out flowers and cakes and bridesmaid dresses, it is the photographer that will set the tone for how we remember the wedding. He or she is the one that is going to make those flowers and that cake look beautiful in the photos that my fiance and I will pore over as soon as they come in. These photos will be seen by all of our family and friends - those who honored us with their presence at the wedding, as well as those who were unable to attend. And most importantly, these photos will be there for our kids and grandkids. My fiance and I will tell the story of our wedding with as much detail as possible, but actually showing images of us exchange vows all dressed up will be priceless. Specifically, I am so excited to see images of myself getting ready with my mother and sisters, my fiance and I seeing each other for the first time and our first kiss as husband and wife. Pictures of all of the friends and family that chose to make the trip to support us are also very important to us. We chose a destination wedding because we wanted to be in a beautiful place as we made this beautiful promise to each other, and we are looking forward to someone capturing the joy and beauty of the day in photos for us to treasure always.
