(you can just reply in this thread and don't worry, I will see it, even if I don't reply I will save the info for next time I update it). Haha

But she was great at responding to my communications though, and put me in touch with Javier, the head concierge, when I asked for his email. She might be getting better, as I said, I think she just started there less than 6 months ago... Have you had any problems with getting a hold of her? Chantal

So far Aurora has been pretty good at getting back to me. The only isue I've had was negotiating the date that we have to show up. We are doing the Symbolic wedding and she wanted us to show up Monday for a Friday wedding. We have since worked that out. Other than that, she has been pretty helpful. I'll know more when I meet her on October 2.

We created a site on shutterfly.com yesterday so people from our wedding can upload their pictures, download pictures they want, and order prints that they want. There is an album on the site that is rehearsal dinner pictures that the photographer from the resort took. I must admit we hired an outside photographer (Claudia Rodriguez) for the wedding because we didnt know just how good the resort photographer would be but let me just say... WE WERE AMAZED by the pictures that we got from the resort photographer for the rehearsal dinner. All of the pictures on the site are just regulalr colored ones but he did an amazing job of changing some of the pictures to black and white and sepia tone and he printed those for an album that we got. I hope that you enjoy looking at them and as soon as I get pictures from Claudia Rodriguez I will post those. Here is the link: http://michaelandshannonpageswedding.shutterfly.com/

awesome pictures! It's more a casual photoshoot then rehersal dinner (i.e. no pictures of the dinner or associated activities) but I love it and this will be a beautiful supplement to your wedding photos. I so wish we had done a casual photoshoot on the resort with our photographer.

I was wondering do i have to be there 3 business days before the wedding? My witnesses won't be there until Sunday and the wedding is on Tuesday is this an issue?

Thanks SunBride. It was def. a casual photoshoot. We felt really bad because we were trying to rush the photographer the whole time because we weren't really planning on using him at all. So we told him that we didnt want him to come to the dinner, so we just gave hime about 30-40 minutes to do pictures because we wanted to get to dinner with everyone. I wish that I would have realized that they actually took good pictures because I would have asked them to come to the dinner and the actual rehearsal but oh well. Plus because of Natalia's schedule and the other coordinators, we werent able to have the rehearsal until 8:30, after dinner and everything else. So I don't know if he would have stayed that long without being paid more.
