Awww...thanks Beach2009! :-)
I'm just seeing this thread for the first time!
We hired an outside photographer as well, but b/c we had the resort photog included in our package and SMB wouldn't do a substition, we had him shoot our reception.
(* by the way, I think SMB DOES do subsitutions now! I know of one BDW bride who's getting married at SMB who said they agreed to give her a violinist (I think) instead of using the resort photog...)

Anywaaay, as Kits55 said, it would likely be one of Juan's associates that does your pics...I think Juan would probably only do it if you were getting a full day of coverage or some such...I think if you're just getting an hour or two, you'd get an associate.

Hey Kits55 -- who was the associate you got...?

I think the name of the one who shot our reception was...Edward...? I know I wrote his name in my review (link above) but can't think of it right

Anyway, as I said in my review, his pictures weren't the same quality as some of the top photogs on this forum, but they were pretty good! We were actually quite impressed with them. And he definitely didn't use a flash all the time!
Assuming it was NOT Edward that Kits55 got, I'd suggest requesting for him to be your photog if you choose to use the resort photog at Secrets Maroma...
Of course, if it WAS Edward that Kits55 got...then maybe he's very inconsistent:-)

And, of course, if anyone wants to see more of Edward's pics (Juan's associate), pls PM me! I'll send you the link to our photoshare site that has about 160 pics he took so you can get an idea...

HTH!:-)

Oh, and yes, absolutely agree with Kits55...if GREAT pics are a priority for you...hire an outside photog...you'll just get better photos in general:-)

Hi ladies, I got married in Feb 09 in Dreams Cancun and cant recommend him enough. I too was going to get a diff photographer but it was too expensive the girl I wanted was 2000 dollars minimum where as we had the Ultimate Wedding Package and Juan was included his images were amazing so much so that we purchased all 600+ of them on a disc and he gave us 120 images printed in an album before we went home we picked the images we wanted to use a few days after the wedding. He was so professional and captured everything for us. If any of you want to ask me anything dont hesitate in contacting me am more than happy to help and also show you the link to the pictures.

Daaaaang!! I really wanted a pianist (knew that one wasn't possible) but a violinist was second on my list!! I never even thought to ask since every time I asked her a question about getting something "extra" i never got straight answers. She always just wrote, "yes, is possible" so then I'd have to ask how much, blah blah blah.

Well, I'm super embarrassed blush2.gif but I have no idea what our associate's name. He said it so fast and quietly that I couldn't understand what he was saying. He was pretty young, he looked like he was in his mid twenties I thought and he was skinny. I can't find his name on our CD or anything. I just looked on Juan's website but the section for the associates is still under construction. I'll have to check back later and see what my guy's name was. Here's a link to the website: principal

    • 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!

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!
