Hey GBP Tulum Brides! Getting married December 17-21, 2015 and interested in sharing the cost of an external photographer? Please message me. Note I am flying in a Canadian photographer from Toronto (Vanilla Bean Pictures) for my wedding on Dec. 22, 2015.

Is the poolside reception secluded from other guests of the resort?

Any brides fly in an external photgrapher recently? Was the photographer charged a $500 USD photographer fee to their room? Is this fee negotiable? I am trying to complain my way out of it.

Yes! So ridiculous! Erika Montes TROPICONESTUDIO <emontes@@Tropiconestudio.com> attached a PDF outlining their services and external photgrapher policies when I inquired. The SPA is telling $300 USD for external hair and makeup services. To bring in an external DJ they are charging $90 USD. Very frustrating.

Thanks! Will definitely look into it.

Here is the resort's policy on bringing a photgrapher: If your decision is to bring your own Professional Photographer, there are the Hotel´s Exclusivity Policies in place, with regards to using External Photo & Video services and suppliers. We´d appreciate you providing us, in advance (before your arrival), with the following required information:  Photographer's Name (First and Last name)  Photo Company Name (If applies)  Photo Company Address (including Country, Zip Code)  Photo Company Phone (If applies)  E-mail Contact  Arrival and Departure Dates**  Hotel accommodation**  Booking Number** > If the External Photographer is part of the wedding group they will have to stay at the Hotel for a minimum of 5 nights** > A $500usd PHOTOGRAPHER FEE will be charged to the Photographer’s room during their check-in. LOCAL External Photographers (Residents in Mexico) are NOT permitted under ANY circumstances.

I too have booked Fernando for my December 22nd, 2015 wedding at GBP Tulum in fear of the spa's quality of work - not worth the risk for such a big day! The Bahia SPA has advised me that the fee to bring in an external vendor for hair and makeup is $300 USD! I am intrigued by your idea of going off the resort to have your hair and makeup done. What is the name of the B&B? Hey! I am getting married at GBP Tulum on December 22nd, 2015 and am interested in sharing a photographer. The limited amount of pictures you get through Tropic One Studio in comparison to the prices seems like a total rip off and I have read mixed reviews. Anyways let me know if you are still looking to share a photographer and if you had someone in mind.
