Hi! I'm getting married at Secrets maroma beach and I keep having nightmares that someone is late for the wedding, and then by the time we get married there is no light for photographs! I'm nervous that with a 6pm wedding there will only be a light until 7:30 and that may not be enough time for group photos, and newlywed photos. What do you think? Oh, and to top it all off I have already printed 6pm on the invitations!

 

One suggestion is to take pics with my finace before the ceremony, do a lot of people do this? We will be legally married in the states so it shouldn't be bad luck, right?

My photographer was thrilled to hear that FI and I wanted to do a 'first look' and take photos before the ceremony! I think that this is becoming really popular, esp for less traditional couples (which you probably are if you're having a DW).

I think it's great because you can have a private moment before the ceremony and will feel less rushed. Plus, I want to enjoy at least part of the cocktail hour with my guests.

So... I say go for 6pm, you'll have beautiful dusk lighting for your ceremony and the bathing suits will be off the beach by then.

 

(Oh...and don't you just love wedding nightmares? I have a recurring dream that I forgot to write the ceremony and have my dress altered!!)

I'm a Maui June bride. Our wedding is at 5:45 and my WC said the sun sets around 7:00. We are doing pictures after the ceremony. She says it should work out perfectly... So I would think your timeframe is okay. I think a lot depends on the length of your ceremony - which you could just ask your minister..

Thank you for responding! And yes I hate these dreams! LOL. I feel that i'm stressing about things, just because it scares me that there isn't much stress! Sounds confusing but I guess when you are use to things being complicated its hard to adjust to everything being so laid back. I think i'm going to take your advice and go with the 6pm wedding and taking photos before hand with my fi. How much time are you leaving between your ceremony and cocktail hour and reception? I have my wedding at 6pm and the cocktail hour at 6:45 and then the reception at 8pm. What do you think about the times?

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
