I'm getting married at Beach Palace on October 10, 2015! I'm incredibly excited, but still feel like I have so much to do before that date! WE have the locations locked down... ceremony on the rooftop terrace, cocktail hour and reception at the Rooftop pool area. Very, very excited as the picture should be phenomenal as I've seen other brides photos with similar decorations and they are stunning. Besides the locations and some minor decorations, the only other thing I've booked is my photographer. I've found communication with the wedding staff at Palace to be less than fantastic for the most part. I typically have to wait several days for a response and then sometimes on get part of my questions answered. It has made planning this more frustrating that I imagined. For photography, we booked Octavio Montes Photography... my fiancé's boss used him for a prior wedding in Cancun and couldn't say enough good stuff about him. I've seen some of the photos Octavio took for our friend and they are absolutely stunning!! Beautiful water, incredible colors, and most, besides the standard posed shots with the wedding party, are completely natural -- which is the type of photography that appeals to me. I want to be captured in a normal, natural embrace rather than to be posed and awkward. I actually chose to have a destination wedding almost solely for the beautiful photos. He has been amazing to work with so far... incredibly responsive, eager to know our wishes and to help us figure out a way to capture all the photos we really desires. Honestly, Octavio as our photographer is what I am most excited about at this point! So now that y'all know where I am and what I have done thus far... what else do I need to do/focus on? Did I mention I'm not a bride at all?!? I'm sure this post makes that clear... I'm clueless when it comes to weddings or bridal anything
