In need of opinions! Please

I am getting married in the fall of 2005, which I am very pysched about. However, I have always secretly wanted to have an intimate ceremony on a beach ever since I was little. I thought it would be so romantic. So I was thinking about renewing our vows on our honeymoon, and hire a photographer to capture the ceremony for us.

For 24 pictures it's $260 with a $150 fee due at booking. It's really not that much money in the grand scheme of things.

Is this totally uncommon? I mean it would be like having two ceremonies, one with all my family and friends on Long Island celebrated traditionally and then an intimate one on a tropical island. Just wondering what you girls thought
Thanks
