Anyone taken a photographer on cruise?


Recommended Posts

We are planning on bringing a photographer with us when we go on our cruise. I sent an e-mail to the wedding coordinator asking if we could work something out if we didn't use their photographer, because we will be bringing our own. They told me professional photography equipment isn't allowed on the ship. I was wondering if anyone has done this. And if I do this and just don't tell them we hired them, and they are just part of our guest if it would be a problem. Any informatino would be great!

Hey! I used to work on a cruise ship as a Photographer from jan 06 to may 07 and I can tell you that it totally can be done! I saw MANY passengers with full on 'pro' equipment and nobody even batted an eye. I think they mean that no studio gear and lighting is allowed on, but in this day and age, EVERYONE has a camera! You are bound to have the occasional Amateur with a Pro Camera and lenses! Nothing can stop them!

 

Think of it this way, as a Wedding Photographer, even I get a vacation every now and then... :) do you think I would leave my camera at home? Heck no! Let them TRY and stop me! Its in my blood and I would want to take some nice photos of my trip!

 

If for some reason they wouldnt let your photographer take photos walking around the ship (which I could understand), NOTHING can stop them from taking photos on land. Its out of their ... 'jurisdiction'?

 

I have been to Grand Cayman many times, and if that is where you are getting married, you will have an absolute ball and there are TONS of great photo ops around the islands!

 

I would keep it as big of a secret as you could though... no need telling everyone who your photographer is :)

 

if you have any more questions please let me know, I'd love to help out! :)

I was thinking the same thing. I would just have them take pictures and just tell people they were part of my guest list. Plus, if I have 3 photographers, that just gives me that much better of a chance of getting better photos! I was just kinda worried about paying for them to come and someone saying, what are you doing?! You can't be taking pictures! And yes we are getting married on the islands, not the boat. Thanks so much, it just gave me a big sigh of relief!

    • 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!
    • 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!
