Would like some advice on choosing a photographer. I am trying to decide if I should choose the resort photographer, hire a local Photographer from Cancun/Riviera Maya area or bring a photographer from Canada (Ontario - 1.5 hrs North of Toronto).

 

Any advice or even suggestions on any vendors??

 

Much appreciated :)

 

Thank You

Great question, BridetobeABCD, and one that so many of our brides asked, we compiled a FAQ webpage with more info on that exact topic, with a link to it here........http://momentsthatmatterphotography.com/faqs.html

 

Unless you're really not that concerned about capturing those magical wedding "moments that matter" in their best possible appearance, you'll be much happier with the results a professional will create for your lifetime memory of this irreplacable day and memories!

 

I wish you all the best with your plans and decision process - have a Wonderful! wedding celebration  here in our beautiful Mayan Riviera! CHeers! cheers.gif

Due to the HIGH prices of my resort photographer...and the fact they wouldnt let me bring in a local photographer (unless I paid for a 3 night stay at the resort) - I decided to bring my own from Canada.

Yes - it the long run its probably a bit more money - but the benefit to this is that we get 2 engagement sesssions - one in Canada and one in Mexico...we get the ENTIRE wedding day (not just getting ready, ceremony, and after ceremony pics)...and TTD session. Plus..our photographer has a chance to get to know us as a couple before the 'big day' and can get a feel of who we are and what we like.

Id rather have that any day over a complete stranger who's just showing up to my wedding to do a job and then leave.

I believe my photographer will be working extra hard to deliver the best shots possible. Plus..he's with us the whole week so nothing will be too rushed!

I was originally thinking of bringing a local photographer whose work I really liked, but decided to see if I could find a Riviera local who would theoretically be more experienced with the region. I am really excited about TakeIt Photo, they're a couple and they have good prices and amazing reviews and work - but I've just found out that my resort wants to charge me a penalty plus a large vendor fee which will amount to almost as much as my photo package!! If I had known earlier that this was the situation, I would have put a lot more consideration into bringing someone with us...

Is this a common practice in Mexico?

I'm so glad for you that it all worked out :D

Congrats ashk on your upcoming Mayan Riviera wedding ! It all depends on which resort you choose. Some allow outside vendors, and some require that you book a room for them for 2 nights, and some don't allow outside vendors at all - as I said it depend on the policy of your resort.

So many of our brides were asking about this exact question, we compiled a webpage with some answers here.........http://momentsthatmatterphotography.com/resortpolicies.html

 

All that being said, you'll be much happier with a professional photographer's results than if you'd brought a friend who enjoys taking pictures for a hobby - or "Uncle Joe" who takes some great shots.....as seen in our webpage answer to that dilemna here......http://momentsthatmatterphotography.com/faqs.html

 

Hope all your plans work out ok, and you have a terrific wedding here in our beautiful Mayan Riviera! Cheers :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
