To those of you who brought in an offsite photographer/videographer, etc... did you have to pay for a day pass? I have been hearing conflicting things. Thanks!

[Jen_S]

No because because we are bringing 2 photographers but they are staying in the resort and we chose one of the videographers that were recommended from the WC so there is no charge for them either.

We paid for our photographer to stay at the resort, so we did not pay a fee.

What videographer did the WC recommend? Was it Conrado? I have emailed him a couple of times and he hasn't replied and his website never seems to be working.

Here are the websites of who can do video without a day pass charge:
CONRADO PHOTOGRAPHER
Claudia Rodriguez, Photographer, Cancun & Riviera Maya
www.mexicanweddingphotos.com

I could not get in touch with Conrado either. We hired Cancun Wedding Video which is the link from claudiaphoto.com.

congrats! happy to hear it went well and the backup plan worked when the weather didn't. can't wait for a full review and see your pics.

 

for those who have been there before, did you guys book excursions online or did you book it when you got there at the resort? is it cheaper to book online? we just want to do xcaret and golf.

For a photographer, we had Citlalli of Claudia Rodriguez. We loved our pictures and it was very very reasonably priced - we went with Wedding Photo Package II (and keep in mind that these are their prices for Jan 2008 so they have probably gone up):
