Lol, yes you have a little time to think about it! We changed our minds several times and I thought my planner would kill me. Lol. But she has been super helpful and now we're just ready to get there! When is your first call with your 'wedding planner'?
Photography has been one of my 'worries.' I've read reviews where other ladies were not happy with the quality of the Sandals photos. So we toyed with the idea of bringing our own photographer but then I found a gal on tripadvisor that had recently gotten married there and she said her photos turned out great. She just said to be specific and let them know what you are wanting as far as the style of the photos you are wanting. So I'm going to bring some examples and request the same Sandals photographer she used (his name is Micah). We booked the 'Traditional Photo Package'.
We will have about 14 people there (including us). We didn't do any formal invitations and just spoke to everyone we wanted to invite. Btw, Sandals gives you a free wedding website too, I filled it out but still have yet to do anything with it. Lol!
