Hi Jennifer! I got married at Melia (as you might now they share a common area with Paradisus) and Arrecife is their official photography provider too. They do not ask for a deposit, they take your word as a confirmation. The are gentle, ant they really care about what you want: your tastes, desires and expectations about your wedding pictures. Then at the moment of buying, they show you several options and packages, so will find -for sure- one which fits your needs. Anyway they are always open to modify their packages if you need to add or change anything. About paying in cash, I found it very common at the Dominican republic -no matter the kind of service you are paying for- they always give you a better discount if you pay in cash, I guess that is why they suggest you to do so.. You will really love your wedding pictures! we have received a lot of clompiments.. Share some of them with us! and happy planning! Pete

Yes, the photography provider for Melia is called "Arrecife Studio" (I think it means "reef" in spanish), they took pictures for my wedding 2 days ago, I can't wait to see my photos! Lynn -my beloved one- and I will have a meeting this afternoon, at Arrecife's private showroom inside the resort. They said we can go with our closest ones, so our parents will be there with us. That's great because my parents are buying the pictures as a wedding gift. I will publish some images as soon as I get them!
