Beaches Negril Photog????

[kgeecee]

Ok so i am a bit confussed about something and its a pretty big thing:

If i am getting married @ beaches negril do i have to use their photog??

Has anyone used them and how were they?

Do you know if they contract it out to local photogs and can i pick which one i choose?

 

Anyone have some advice on this??

 

thanks a million..... kg

I am getting married at Beaches Boscobel, and had the same questions. All their rules are the same. You can only use their photographers, who will remain nameless and/or portfolio-less until you arrive at your hotel right before the wedding. The only way they allow outside photographers is if you will pay for their 3-night stay at the resort.

I have debated trying to sneak a local photographer in, but will not now due to the amount pre-wedding stress it will cause. There is a thread about this on the Sandals/Couples board.

from what i have heard they know all the good local photogs and ask them to leave. Could you imagine losing all that money

i posted something on my friends FB page (cause i dont have FB yes the only person in the world!!) looking for someone to maybe trade the trip for photo.... I have gotten tons of replies! I made sure to stress i am looking for a professional photog.
we will see what happens, maybe it will work out

Good Luck. I am also a Beaches Bride and this photographer situation is stressing me out.

some resorts are really strict about that

You do not have to use the Sandals or Beaches photographer- you can bring in your own as long as they stay at the resort you are getting married at for at least 3 nights!

We decided to fly someone in becuase pictures are the most important thing to me and I could not deal with the stress of not knowing what you are getting with their photographers. Their prices are pretty high too with the different packages. I would suggest definitely doing some research on photgraphers that would be willing to do your wedding to build their portfolio. I think you might be surprised at the prices they will quote to be able to do a destination wedding. Good luck!
