Printing Release they give you.

Is there an example of a video they produced? Does the video include highlights throughout the entire wedding? (like ceremony, dinner, and reception?)

Printing Release they give you.I

This is what Jazmin emailed me last week regarding outside photographers and videographers:

 

Finally about the photo & video, all must be reviewed with the photo company in house, I will send your email to them to check all about  this point, but until I know in 2013 external suppliers are not allow, nevertheless still  send your email to get all the info from  the right person, 

 

 

 

***So, does this mean no more outside photographers? My best friend owns a photography studio and I would love it if I could fly in her photographer - pay for the photographers trip in exchange for photos! would this be possible???

Omg, I am going to have a meltdown. If I can't have our Canadian Photographer come with us to do the photos. She is someone we have known for a long time. Originally I was going to use Arrecife but now she's available to come and is going to do it for a good price. I don't see how they can stop us from having a guest for a week come take photos during our wedding. Arrecife can take their 15 photos as part of the wedding package and call it a day. Maria just forwarded my email to Rocio or someone who is the manager over there. If anyone has any current information on this let me know. Or ways to problem solve. Emilie

They better! I don't know why they are giving me the run around. Apparently flight prices are increasing. I just want confirmation that there not going to give me a hard time about it so I can book her flight and accommodations ASAP. I don't know why Maria wouldn't just know the resort policy and why I have to wait to hear from the Photo manager. They seem to have way too much control in things. So territorial!

There were rust marks and tiny broken sections of the fence around it when I was there last, but you really can't tell too much.

 

I have a bunch of photos on my photo tour that you can see: http://faberphotography.com/gran-bahia-principe-tulum-resort-photo-tour/

    • 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!
