I'm not writing this second review to be petty. I'm writing this review so that future brides don't make the same mistakes I did. I planned my destination wedding for 1.5 years. I researched and read reviews about vendors. When booking Tom as my photographer I came across a few bad reviews, but was so mesmerized by his beautiful pictures on his site that I disregarded them. I regret that now. Future brides please research your vendors and take those reviews seriously. These people you hire will be a big part of your day... make sure you are choosing wisely. 

After writing my previous review I received a very unprofessional email from Tom. He wouldn't reply to my emails saying I was disappointed in the lack of photo's he had sent, but sure had something to say about my review.

Most of this email doesn't make sense. I paid for his transportation. The discount he gave me was because I didn't want the photo book or prints. 

Here is a look at how unprofessional this photographer is. Again, I am posting this second review because I just don't want any other bride to have to experience this!

We had our photo's done by Tom Moks. Our photo's turned out amazing, but I feel like there were a lot of key moments that he missed. Hopefully we can get those moments from our video. 

Dealing with Tom through email was a nightmare. When booking he kept calling me but the wrong name and saying our wedding was on a different date than it was. At one point he emailed to cancel because he double booked, but he had actually had the wrong date so it was fine. 

During the wedding day he arrived on time which I was nervous about. My hair wasn't ready in time so he really stressed me out and was rushing me. I ended up falling out of a hammock and wrecking my hair because he asked me to sit in this hammock for a picture and I was already rushing. He was pretty much running through this rocky area trying to get pictures of my husband and I and I was in heals... very thankful I didn't fall or injure myself!! He also made a rude comment about not fitting into my dress while we were zipping it up!! 

After the wedding, it was near impossible to get a response from him via email. He doesn't do sneak peaks which was disappointing. He gave me a date that my photo's were to be ready... that date came... didn't hear from him until 3 days after because he had a wedding booked. If you had a wedding booked you should probably email your clients to inform them their photo's won't be ready. 

Overall, I am pretty unsatisfied with the service. We have a few good photo's but there were many missed ! I would not recommend booking Tom Moks as nice as his photos are... it's just not worth the stress!!

Hello,

So I am getting married in 4 months and am looking for a photographer in puerto vallarta ? Any recommendations? I am getting married in Las Caletas in January and I can use Adventures Wedding photographer, but I have read a couple bad reviews so I am slightly worried. Just looking to see if there are any other options out there that are reasonably priced? I like more artistic photos ect. 

I'm online now and have my coupon. I can't find anything other than black and a white with pink. Navy would be awesome - are they the robes, kimono or cardigans? I'm not certain on black. I found a nice peach/coral colour but nothing in navy.

I went to the store, but I just looked online and found them.. here is the link:

I found they fit a little big so if you are ordering online! 

For those canadian brides... not sure if they have this store in the states. They have 3 for 1 kimonos at la vie en Rose Boutique... so I got 3 kimonos for my bridesmaids for $40! They have pink&nave and Navy&blue. They are pretty cute actually!

Happy planning!

I'll give you $15 for 15? 

I will take them all if you still have them! Super cute... you got them at old navy?

Thank's for the input!!

I love imagine dragon's... so using that for our exit song! Thanks Calgary Bride.

I've got in narrowed down to three for the daddy daughter dance:

Taylor swift - Best day

Heartland - I loved her first

Danielle Bradbery -  daughter of a working man

My dress  

Completely different from what I expected to find, but I'm in love

Has anyone stayed at the Hard Rock Vallarta? I think we are staying there for the second week for our Honey moon. 

I was just wondering if anyone had any good ideas for father daughter songs? My dad taught me to two step so I was hoping to find something we could two step to....

Does anyone have any good exit processing songs ?

Here is what I have so far to give you an idea of what I like...

Wedding party entrance: Lucky - colbie callant & Jason Mraz

Bride entrance: Halo - Ane Brun ft linnea olson

Groom/mother dance: twenty years late- aaron lines

First dance: Whatever it is - Zac brown band

Any input would be awesome!! PS I love this site

Thank you Christina! That would be awesome!

Apparently the hotel is completely booked.. no rooms left and my wedding is 10 months away! That's pretty quick, but I guess it is a smaller resort (100 rooms I think) so if anyone plans to book there make sure you do it early as if there is another wedding there ... it will book up pretty quick. We managed to get most of our guests booked so at least most of us were able to stay together.

My fiance and I are going for two weeks and were thinking of staying somewhere else the second week ... either a different resort in PV or somewhere else close by... does anyone have any suggestions??

Hello! We are getting married in Las Caletas in January 2016... we booked with Sunset Plaza. I wanted something central and something not too expensive for our guests. They have normal rooms & suits too so if your guests do want to spend a little extra and get a nicer room they would have that option. The hotel has good reviews so hoping it's a nice place!

Has anyone stayed there before?

Hello All!

I am new to this site, but looks like it has some helpful information. I am newly engaged ....Hurray! My fiance proposed about 3 months ago in our back yard. I was planting the last of my flowers when I hit something hard while digging. At first I was really freaked out as I thought I may have found something scary... like a dead body.. or head or something! I then decided to open the box and found a ring box... turned around and there was my fiance no one knee. It was a great moment...and great that he could surprise me like that as I am not easy to surprise! 

Anyways... We went to las calates about a year ago and knew that if we were ever to get married .... this would be the place! So we booked it for January 2016! Now to wait ... 1 year and 4 months cannot go fast enough! But it will be fun ! We just got a great price on the resort we wanted so that's exciting!

Has anyone stayed at Sunset Plaza Beach Resort in Puerto vallarta? (It has great reviews on trip advisor... so hopefully nothing changes in the next year)

Also.. any advice from brides that were married in Las Caletas?!

Nice meeting you All.. Happy Planning!
