    CONGRATS! Choose wisely, or you'll end up like me, begging folks on Smugmug to help out! mwink.gif

    Of course, even that ain't so bad around here! thumb.gif

    Oh come on Andy.. you are full of secrets rolleyes1.gif

    Our wedding is May 24th, 2008.

    But seriously we are thinking about going to Jamaica clap.gif

    Having a photographer there is like me being a dentist.

    Shay and I would like to shoot your wedding. A SmugMug wedding, on the house. If the date is correct, May 24th, we can do it. Confirm?

    I don't kid about such things. I'm dead serious.

    We'll fly down May 23rd, Wednesday. Lots of great shots on Wednesday. We'll shoot the wedding on Thursday. We'll shoot you and your lovely afterwards, and the reception or dinner. We'll head home on Friday.

    In?

    Andy, this would be a gift that I would never be able to re-pay.

    OMG.... We have picked the date of May 24th, 2008 but have not made the reservations. Let me get on the ball and firm the reservations then we can give you a firm on the date.

    Did you see that we are going to do this in Jamaica?

    We need to be on our way off the island though, on Friday morning May 25th. So the 24th must be the day.

    I'm trying to get in touch with travel agent now.

    I'm speechless I think.

    I'll confirm with you as soon as we get the reservations booked.

    I know how you must feel actually. My brother-in-law was married in the Caribbean at a hotel and he didn't have too many photography options...

    I covered the day for them and things turned out quite well. Not as nice as yours will turn out, but pretty good none the less.

    Jamaica would be a great place for a wedding...

    Best wishes to you and Sarah... clap.gif

    What a kind and generous offer by Andy and Shay!! clap.gif

    I am concerned that the wedding party and the photographers are discussing different years, however?! May 24, 2007 is on a Thursday. May 24, 2008 is on a Saturday. Just thought I'd jump in and mention that so everyone's on the same page. eek7.gif

    Oh. Well that's cool, too. I'll do it for sure, I can't speak to Shay's availability, it's a Saturday... But the offer's still good!

    Ping me in the fall, I'll buy tickets, etc.

    Andy,

    I talked to the travel agent and he's saying that it will be in the fall like you said. October timeframe. We are looking at the Grand Lido-Negril Resort in Jamaica. We have to get special permission for "photographers" so I'm working on that with them now. They have to give us written consent and he said it would be tough with Sandals resorts. I'll keep you updated. We'd love to have you and Shay. This is a blessing to us. Neither family is going to help us so this is on our own.

    Thanks you and Shay soooo very much!

    Scott & Sarah

    wow..!!!!!
    Andy, Shay, I can't believe that you guys really did offer your wonderful talent services to our wedding! I'm still in a state of shock. (this is Scott's Sarah).. I want to thank you both SO very much. I know Shay still hasn't said if he's available for '08, but nevertheless, either way.. THANK YOU both so much. It would be amazing, truly a blessing to have you at our wedding in Jamacia. I still can't even begin to convey how happy this has made us both! Bless you both, gentlemen!
