If you want more of the pictures I am sure you can buy them. If you go and look at the photographer prices in Cancun you will see that it is SUPER expensive to get a package. For example I am paying 2000 dollars for mine.

The hour thing is what I'm trying to find out because I can't get a direct answer on that which is why I've sent her the email saying we have him for 20 mins? From her "special package" I get the feeling it is just the ceremony and a couple after, that is what i want to know. If its for an hour thats fine not got a problem with that. Regarding buying more pics i've emailed the photographer last week and i'm waiting for a response. Yeah I know the photographers are expensive but as Dreams has a no external suppliers ban now I can't do that anyway. At least if you are paying the $2000 you know what you are getting at the min I'm struggling to find out exactly what I am paying for.

I think it probably is. If you've paid sep you get the 1 to 2 hours

I am pretty sure they ok'd Claudia Rodriguez as an external photographer.

Hi Ladies,

 

Yesterday Claudia confirmed for me that Claudia Rodriguez was an approved vendor for Dreams, and that I could just get a longer video instead of the picture package. I was concerned because I just got my contract on Thursday, and the photography and video portion said "ceremony only". I am very happy that I can use Citalli from Claudia Rodriguez' company. I agree that the photo packages are expensive, but they are still less than what I would pay here in Florida.

Here is the response I got about the pics:

 

The 50 pictures you have included on your wedding package covers the

ceremony and then a photo studio by the beach and different locations of the

hotel.

 

thanks

 

So I am relieved cuz thats what I was hoping for.

I am SO relieved to hear this bc that's exactly what I was hoping to do: use Claudia Rodriguez for photography and then "trade in" the pics included with my package for a longer video.

Susan, did you get details on how long/how much coverage you will get with your "new" video package? The one that you are getting because you are not getting the pictures I mean.

Also, does anyone know who Dreams uses for videography?

THANKS!!

I got my contract in November thats also when it was arranged, and yes we have the Dreams Ultimate Package for that price. I cant imagine it would be 50 shots of a 20 min ceremony that just seems nuts to me.
