thank you!! We told diedra that we wanted the 36 photo package prior to our arrival. But the photographer overshoots so you can always choose more.... or less and she said we would have gotten a refund.

one more good shot...

I just got married there on the 13th... we were really worried about the photographer issue too. We mrt with him prior to the ceremony but I don't think it would have been much different if we hadn't. He was very professional and kind. We specifically told him we didn't want cheesy poses so we compromised and did his cheesy poses with some candids we were hoping for. He also took shots of anything I requested which was nice. We wound up buying the 36 photo package... it was tough but not too tough to narrow down... he shot about 550 photos so you have tons to pick from. You can also buy more photos for $20 each if you just can't narrow down exactly. Overall we had an awesome experience and loved our ceremony and reception location in the white gazebo by the reef terrace. We were pretty secluded. Didn't notice any passers by... probably too much excitement to notice I'd love to share more about our trip if anyone has questions.

We are getting married at the Grande Riviera on April 13th! Have you ironed out your reception details yet? I think it is so expensive to have the formal reception, but they really discourage making a reservation at one of the restaurants. I don't think I'd want to be there in our formal attire with all the other guests anyway. We wanted to use the reception money to do a charter boat for our group on 12, but they don't have any small party boats... only huge ones that cost thousands to rent.
