April-

 

I've read on the yahoo board that US vendors are required to get authorization to work in Mexico. At the time all of my vendors were from Mexico so it didn't matter. Now that situations may have changed I just want to be clear.

 

Since your photographer was from the States did she have any problem shooting your wedding? Did customs or Dreams give her any issue? Did you obtain the visa?

 

I've recently posted an ad for any interested photographers and there is one that I love in particular. If I could get her, for the cost of a trip only, to snap away for the entire weekend it would be great.

 

SORRY FORGOT THE "Z" IN AUTHORIZATION, CAN'T CHANGE NOW!

actually he had no problem at all. I asked him if they gave him a hard time with all his equipment and he said not at all. The only country he has ever had a hard time entering is China and he is chinese. I have to say going thru customs was the easiest thing...we went and got passports and really it was so unecessary..they gave me a bottle of wine on the plane, she made a big deal about claiming it But no one asked or checked. @ flew home with my bouquet..they never even checked my carry-on. I will ask him what he filled out on his mexico authorization form (the one u get on the plane) though to make sure.

I'd love to hear others that hired photographers outside of Mexico to do their weddings. We have a friend that does gorgeous wedding photography that said he'd be delighted to do our photos for us. He's actually coming from Austrailia.

 

 

 

I heard from a coordinator at Bella brides who said that they are changing the laws in Mexico for this - over the last couple of months. She said that they're even going to some weddings and checking this out.

 

 

 

She said that he'd probably have to get a work permit and approval from the Mexican consolate (sp?). So, I told her to check more into it and let me know what we'll need to do so we don't have any issues. I'll post more when I hear back from her.

i agree with jennetta....what they don't know, won't hurt them

 

 

 

ps. how do you like bella birdes? i was using them for a couple of weeks...who are you using there? i was using luz mariea. if you are planning a wedding at dreams, they would probably be good but have no pull rates wise...also, they weren't able to get the day i wanted...told me it wasn't available but when i called dreams wedding coord. directly they told me it was available...that was when i decided not to use them.

well, if you want to do it right, he does need paperwork BUT april and tara had their photog go down with no extra paperwork or problems. the paperwork is prob. so he will get an extra tax or fee or something....so lame.

 

 

 

i think april said if your photog does not announce he is down there to shoot a wedding they may just let him go no problem.

 

 

 

lets bump them.

We just said they were family friends and not getting paid for it. If they are traveling with lots of professional looking equipment, they may want to think about gettting other type of carrying bags. My photog looked into getting the permit and said that they make it almost impossible to get.

 

 

 

I would recommend since it is just a family friend to not even try to get the permit. If your friend isn't getting paid, then it isn't considering "work" so they don't need a permit.

 

 

 

Good Luck!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
