Vallarta Palace Photographer


Recommended Posts

Hello there! We are getting married at Vallarta Palace on 12/20/10. They do not allow outside photographers. They want to assign us Edgar Navarro Mancilla. Has anyone had experience with him? They provided us with a website for him, which was useless. Have not been able to see any of his work. They may allow an outside photographer if we buy a day pass for them. Just wondering if we should try an outside photographer. Any other reviews/experiences are greatly appreciated! Please help! Thank You!

The answer to your question is how important is photography to you. I'm getting married at Grand Velas Vallarta, just nearby. Our hotel allows outside photo/videographers without incurring the non-guest fees. Even if they didn't, I would have paid because photography is a huge part of our budget and I wouldn't trust just anyone to do it. I need to believe in their style and click (no pun intended) with them.

 

If you're like me, and photography is a big thing, then consider paying the extra fee to have a photographer whose work will best complement what you and your day are about.

 

1) Maybe you can try to contact the photographer directly and get him to send you some of his work if the resort is proving unhelpful.

2) If you haven't already, run a search for his name on this forum. If nothing pops up, try Google or other wedding websites.

3) TripAdvisor is a great resource also, because you can find some couples who married at the property and may have used this guy.

 

Hope this helps! God bless your wedding planning and day smile159.gif

Couldn't agree more with AfricanVenus!  When you're paying for an outside photographer you're not just paying for the photos, you're paying for a personality and an experience.  

 

I can definitely tell you that my relationship with my clients definitely affects the photos.  If we click, the photos click and everything works out perfectly.   

 

Brennanandmari, if you can get in touch with Edgar Navarro Mancilla, have a phone conversation with him or exchange some emails and it seems like you will all get along great, then go for it!  Awesome!  But if you're not feeling his vibe, or even another photographer's, I would definitely consider searching until you find someone that meshes with your own style and personality.

 

Good luck!

BrennanandMari- I am curious as to whether you ended up going with Mr. Navarro or not.  I am getting married at Vallarta Palace next October and they have also told me that he is the only option.  If you did use him, how was he?  If not, did they give you a hard time about bringing someone in from the outside?

 

I'd also love to hear about your experience in general at Vallarta Palace.  VP seems to be new territory on this blog as far as brides that have actually had their weddings there so I'd love to know if you have any advice for me.

 

Many congratulations on your recent nuptials!

    • 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!
