I am getting married December 30, 2013 at this resort and have finally decided it is time to buckle down and get my act together! We haven't really started planning anything yet...! I am so nervous about the photographer!! At first the photos I seen were actually quite nice, but now that photographer is no longer a part of their team! The new photographer sent me photos of previous weddings he has done there and they are not quite what I was expecting for my wedding day! They looked like my father had taken the pictures (no offense to my dad!) - no retouching and definitely did not look professionally down. It’s down to the wire and I am trying to find a photographer that is not too pricey just in case we are left stuck paying the $300 vendor fee. I have emailed a few photographers but so far 1 is available and they do absolutely beautiful pictures however they come with a very hefty price tag ... ($3000 -$3500 for 5 hours)!! There is just no way I am willing to pay that much for pictures! I need some help from you ladies! Who did you use for a photographer or who are you planning on using?
I need some suggestions from previous brides! Our ceremony is at 4:00 and I would like our reception to start at 6:00 - I have the presidential package however I don't want my guests to be bored before the reception. Are drinks a far walk from the presidentail ceremony site? Could guests who want to walk down and get a drink do so, or is it actually pretty far? We have 35 people coming to our wedding and don't want them to be waiting for the reception to start but I also don't really want to pay to have more cocktails after the cocktail party...any advice or suggestions please!! Thank you!
