Oh, Stephanie! I know your wedding didn't play out as you'd dreamt, BUT, looking at those pictures, I'd never know it!!! You looked absolutely drop-dead gorgeous (oh, WOW, that dress!) and incredibly happy. If pictures were a judge, I'd believe it was absolutely everything you had ever dreamed of. I LOVE that twirling-skirt picture! And your TTD pictures are phenomenal! I'm so glad you were able to make the most of a REALLY situation. I wish you and your new husband the very, very best! Only good luck from here!

You pictures are just fantastic! I am so in love with your photographer! Does he do DW's or do you know him personally? Do you have an email address for him? Anyways, the picture with you and the parasol kinda twirling and looking out on the water is insane, so beautiful! And you TTD pics! Your hair is such a gorgeous color! The picture of you and your husband hugging and he looks like he is crying, that was just tearjerking for me, can I ask what was going on, was it just emotions of the day? Ok well I could go on forever, but they are just amazing! If you haven't posted a link to the in the wedding pictures thread you need to so everyone can see how wonderful your photographer is! Good luck with everything, check back with us!

Ha, ha! I hadn't read your response yet, but it looks like we had some of the same fav pictures! I'd love to have more info about her photographer, too!

Thank you both for the sweet compliments. The great thing that worked out was that all the little details for the wedding were planned so we just had to slide them in place in key Largo. We didn't have to lose any of the special touches that we did. By the way we did a packet called meet the guests which some others on the blog have done. We put color pics of everyone and a smaill paragraph about each. It was a HUGE success because with 62 people attending it was nice for people to have. We got tons of compliments

As for my photographer his name is Ion Hartunian and he did a friend of mines wedding 3 years ago. He lives here in LA so I contacted him and he had not shot in Mexico but was completely game to do so. His rates were fairly compatible with the ones we had contacted at the hotel but we were going to get the originals of all his shots as well as have him for the entire weekend and we of course loved his style of shooting, he tells a story in his work. We got him to shoot the rehearsal, the dinner, the wedding day and the trash the dress since he was in town for the duration. We had to pay his flight and hotel and car which ended up even more costly due to the changes of venue and cancellation fees but he sent us the link last night to our 1700 photos and it was well worth it. I will get a CD of all the pictures in the next week to do with how I choose. His website is ionhartunian.com and he is also a super nice guy who blended in well with all of our guests. He had never done a ttd shoot and he loved every minute. We wanted crashing waves so had a different vision but where we were staying they simply did not exist!! All in all I did get the beautiful wedding I dreamed of with all the close friends and family spending 4 days together and of course my now husband, it just simply put was not a smooth sailing wedding nor wedding day but once it got started we were in for the ride and loved every minute!

By the way Stephanie I see that your wedding is one year from tomorrow!!! You will be there right now soaking it all in next year!! Congrats the year is going to fly by!

Hey Steph- Thanks, I know, I am so excited that its now "months" and not a year and something! I wish it would go faster though! I am seriously going to contact your photographer, I am completely in love with his work since seeing your pictures. When you get all your pictures are you going to put them on pictage, photobucket or shutterfly or something? I am dying to see more if you would be willing to share them with me. I would really appreciate it, I just love your photographer and I want to see more!!

Hey Stephanie

 

If you want to send me an e-mail address I can get in the website and add your e-mail to my guestbook. It will give you an invitation to view the pictures. My e-mail is stephanieziebarth@yahoo.com if you want to just e-mail me directly. Also I forgot to comment on your comment about my hubby's tears. They were purely tears of joy right after we walked out of the ceremony and hugged each other. We walked away from everyone and only allowed ion near us for the first 5 minutes so we could take it all in... thats where and when that shot was taken!!
