Hey there... my brother is planning on getting married in Mexico October 2010. The resort says that he can only use the on site photographer but there are lots of ladies that used Del Sol and they have amazing pictures.

 

How does that work? What do you tell the hotel? Do they ask questions? Do you use the hotel photographer too? Does anyone have pricing or how it compares to the hotel?

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Best thing is to contact Del Sol and ask them what the story is. They may have working relationships with the resort you are going to and have no issues there. If not then my guess is they will know what to expect and can advise you. They are excellent togs and in that area so that is a bonus. Mexico can be a little different. Grease the right wheel and you have no trouble. The issue is knowing which wheel to grease.

Each resort is a little different...outside vendors weren't permitted at our resort but I used Del Sol...when I went to my meeting with our WC I just told her I didn't need the resort photographer but didn't tell her we were using another photog. I just asked and paid for their day passes. I figured it was better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission when it came to my wedding pictures :)

Some resorts permit it but with a fee so I would just check his wedding contract carefully.

We have shot in a few resorts where no outside vendors are allowed. Its really a circus here and yes, there are loop holes to jump through to get anything done in Mexico...

Some of these resorts here, we have just stopped working at because they really stink sad.gif Not naming any names!!!

send Melissa, our studio manager a shout OUT for info. info @ delsolphotography .com

good luck with your planning and thanks for thinking about del Sol :)

PS... one of our most recent shoots at the royal, from Sr Vincent:
Kelli + Ben-Royal PDC
PS. the Royal now charges $350 USD. Just a year or so ago, it was about $125. ouchy.

We were thrilled with the resort photographers photos at Aventura Spa Palace. They could not be any better and everyone who looks at them says they are amazing and the best they have ever seen. They ask if we flew our own photographer in and are surprised that it was one of the resort photographers. First class photos all the way and we received them before we left Mexico (4 days after the wedding).

I agree with this advice to the fullest, and it's what I plan on doing!

    • 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!
