Alina was truly AMAZING! She really has a natural eye for awesome photo ops. She was everything I wanted (and didn't even know I needed) in a photographer! All of my guests made comments about how she really had a calming effect on everyone- making them feel comfortable for pictures. I've been in a few weddings where the photographer can come across as pushy or rude and make the photo process seem like a real production that would exhaust any wedding party throughout the day. Alina was able to capture tons of amazing pictures keeping even the groom and groomsmen relaxed! (They are, of course, always the first to look at their watches during such events.) I am so grateful to have had her as our photographer for such an important life event. Thank you, Alina!
*I live in Texas, but the wedding was held in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico- there is no option to choose Mexico as your wedding location on this site.

We live in Texas and our wedding was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I honestly don't know what we would have done without Kelly (coordinator) and Martha (assistant coordinator and officiant). The sense of urgency (or lack thereof) in Mexico is not what you would expect of vendors in the states. We are so lucky to have had both of them "representing" us throughout the entire planning process. I was able to put EVERYTHING in their hands and let them work their magic! I learned quickly that being able to let go for your wedding day is truly essential. They made the entire thing seamless. Their vendor recommendations couldn't have been more spot on for our needs, budget, and style!

Three weeks before our wedding (and two weeks after the deadline) I received notification that our ceremony site had not gotten our payment. We wired payment in full two months before the deadline (almost three full months prior to this notification). I immediately contacted my bank who, in turn, contacted the bank in Mexico the same day. I was told that the bank in Mexico had up to five weeks to respond as to whether or not they'd actually received the wire transaction. You can imagine my frustration. I was in the fast lane to panic mode, naturally. Your Very Own Fairy Godmother assured me that I had nothing to worry about- "this is what Fairy Godmothers are for!" So as hard as it was at that point to let it go, I did. They contacted the ceremony site coordinator and had things ironed out in plenty of time. Kelly even transported copies of all of the paperwork to Mexico for me, just in case. WHEW!

Kelly kept the ceremony on track, making sure everyone knew where they needed to be WHEN they needed to be there! She coordinated transportation for all twenty five of us to and from the resort and ceremony site. She talked the jitters out of both of us the night of rehearsal dinner and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. Kelly was so much fun and did an amazing job.

My new husband and I grew close to Martha during the wedding planning process, and chose her to be our officiant in Cabo! She did such a beautiful job. She was able to incorporate our Mexican theme by reciting a prayer in English AND Spanish! Martha was perfect for us.

Most importantly, at the end of the evening, my husband and I were able to look at eachother and honestly say that our wedding was absolutely perfect. Your Very Own Fairy Godmother created THE perfect destination wedding- and that wedding was ours.
