I'm using Brian Nejedly as my photographer. I believe his website is briandesign.com

He responds very quickly and i felt he was better priced than many photographers I researched. A lot of people on this site included them in their reviews. Good luck!

We didnt get that deal but its worth a shot I guess just to see. What is seems like is one of the top photographers that is in the states (blog says she shoots in chicago and new england and then destinations). hope this helps anyone who is looking at lower cost options.

Thanks Negrildreamer! I thought her work was excellent and she's now my photographer!!

Chaklit-were you able to work out a deal with her so that you just had to pay for the flight and stay like negrildreamer said?

Don't know about photogs in Jamaica but I agree with everyone who is saying that this is not an area of my wedding that I am going to skimp on. I look at it as, I would be spending around the same price if I were to hire a photographer for an at home wedding...(maybe a little bit more, unless you find someone to do it for only the travel fee) so...this isn't a fight my FI and I even had. He was in total agreement that photos are a priority!

I agree with the above poster. This was not an area my fiance or I wanted to gamble on. we got a lot of recommendations for destination wedding photographers, along with some great deals. We ended up choosing Heather Parker per the above recommendation since we did not want to go with the a resort photography company and end up being stuck with an Associate photographer. Heather's photography speaks for itself and she has experience with Jamaica. she noted to us that she was insured for international shoots and was a member of the professional photographers association. one of the nice things we liked was that she offered a slideshow of our wedding that is going to be set to music. her blog has really nice photojournalism pictures on it which my fiance felt really was important. i think for me having a US photographer was what it ultimately boiled down to. its nice that she is published a lot too.

Marie, there is a lot of photographers around you may want to contac Del Sol, Elizabeth Medina, Claudia Rodriguez, Daniel Aguilar, Juan Navarro, these are my favorites in the area, they are the best!
