We started planning an at-home wedding for the past year, we booked our venue and photographer already.  We changed our minds a few months ago and decided to do a destination wedding.  We already put down $1200 on our photographer so we didn't want to lose that. 

Come to find out, our photographer travels at NO EXTRA COST!  Also they are going to be at our at-home reception at NO EXTRA COST!  We are paying a good amount for them though. 

I was wondering if anyone else has their own photographer coming along and if you gave them special gifts? or tips?  Right now we are giving our guests OOT bags, should we do the same thing for the photographers?

 

Thanks!

What a nice gesture!!! We will be giving our photographer the same OOT bag as everyone else. Also, it seems a lot of people do not include their photographer in dinner service or even provide food. In our case the photographer will be sitting down with us and eating what any other guest will eat. We are inviting her to the welcome dinner as well as any events that are planned. I don't plan on tipping but I do plan on buying an extra album or two for family after the wedding.

We are not bringing a photographer at home, but I think giving them an OOT bag and including them in some things is a nice gesture that will not go un noticed.  Plus it gives you time to get a feel for each other and probably make for better photographs!

Although gestures such as gifts are nice(who'd say no,eh? :) ), they are not necessary.   Best gift you can give us is your thank you and glowing reviews for your family and friends.

And yes, as ScrpioBride said, please don't forget to feed us. It's not easy to take good pictures when you are starving for 8-14 hours

:)

 

Cheers.

      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!
