His website is juanphotos.com and is worth checking out.

Are you going with the wedding package at the resort? If you do choose an outside photographer you may be able to get a trade for the photos in your package but I know they have been cutting back on alot of the trades recently.

If photos are really important to you and you have it in your budget, alot of the ladies seem to have gone with an outside photographer, usually claudia rodriquez studios. I am not sure what her website is but they have several phtographers, each with slighty different styles.

On a seperate note, does anyone happen to have a price list of Juan Navarro's packages or atleast info on a TTD session the next day?

I checked out his website and I love his style, plus it is included!! I think the package we chose (ultimate) includes two hours of photography, so we're going to use it because they aren't really doing many exchanges anymore. we're actually doing our TTD at playa del carmen during our honeymoon so I don't know about his rates for that.

We are going with Pierre Violle because he passed my fiancés artistic style and equipment questioning. I am very excited to use him and most excited about his TTD photo sessions. So far he has been really great to work with. His web sight is Pierre Visual Studio - Wedding Photography- Mayan Riviera- Playa del Carmen - Home - Wedding Photographer
I think I am going to go with Pierre Violle as well. What all packages are you doing with him?

We have booked the “standard†3 hours coverage for our wedding. We also plan on doing the cenotes underwater 50 photo package with him the week following our wedding but have not paid the deposit to set the date for that. He is the only photographer in our price range that uses great equipment (fish eye lenses and such), has reputable underwater photography equipment, and Photoshopâ€s your photos. He limits the number of sessions he does in a week so that he can touch up your photos and offer a 3 week turn around. He has probably received 20 e-mails from either my fiancé or I and has been nothing but kind and understand with each response. At first I was nervous that he is new to wedding photography in Mexico but I am excited to see his artistic style at work.

That's the packages that I was thinking of going with as well. So when he photoshops your photos, do you know does he do ALL of them?? I've seen that some photog's will only fix a certain number of them, and then the rest of the photos just remain as proofs.

He is one of the photographer's I am actually most comfortable with. I have a couple others "on the line" that I feel uneasy about the way you feel about Pierre. I am having Stefanie from Ajua planners coordinate my wedding and she spoke very highly of Pierre. I also liked the way he broke down his price/information sheet. He included more info than I've seen from many other photographers' price sheets.

You will have to keep me updated on how everything goes!

Below is the information from my contract with Pierre on his standard Photoshop procedures. I had my fiancé explain the reasoning of this to me. He said that Pierre has very good equipment that will take multiple photos every second. So when he takes 150 photos 7 might be taken within the same two seconds and he will only use the one with the best shot (like having your eyes open). I never new this but I guess my fiancé also sets up his camera to take the same photo 3 times in a row with different lighting and then combines them for different effects. I am thinking Pierre also does that. I hope this helps.

" (1) Amount of photographs you get: For any package, I guaranty a minimum number of photos. Anyway, youâ€ll get all the good shoots; I never keep good shoots for me By experience I know that a good professional photographer shoot an average of 30 to 35 good photos (emotions) per hour. During the session I shoot around 150 photos per hour to capture the best moment of each emotion. The post-production consists in selecting and touch up the best photos to give you the most emotional photographs. (2) Personalized design of each photograph (This work is time consuming and explain the delivery time): The contrast, colorimetric balance, light and the image composition are optimized manually with specialized picture software (Nikon Capture NX and Photoshop CS). A digital makeover treatment is added subsequently to eliminate any imperfection in each photograph. " - info from my contract

    • 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!
    • 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!
