anyone used moon palace photographers?

[cancunbride2be]

I looked into Moon Palace when I was searching for a resort to have our wedding (we ended up picking Dreams Cancun). Just an FYI...I know a lot of girls posted some great photographers for you to look at but Moon Palace does not allow outside photographers.

I do have another bride's snapfish photos from her moon palace photographer, which I think I can share with you....I guess she wouldn't mind, right? I dont know her or anything, she was someone I found on tripadvisor that posted a review that I requested photos from.

 

PM me your email and I will send you a link.

My thoughts based on my experience thus far...

 

Palace Resorts does clearly indicate no use of outside vendors. I had come across reviews/pics from previous palace resort brides that had used an outside photographer, and questioned this with the WCs in the Miami office. Following our verbal conversation, I did follow up via email. Below is that correspondence (I edit my personal info a bit). I have since discussed this w/ my onsite WC, and she has this understanding as well. Quite honestly by the tone of her voice, she was not 'thrilled' with the news, but said 'ok' and mentioned she was 'making a note' in my folder. In a follow on discussion w/ the photographer we hired, she shared her perspective based on her previous weddings at palace resorts. She assured this would not be a problem, and not to 'stress' about this.

 

There are 2 other MP brides on the forum (andreslove; cariandnick) that had an outside photographer and a different experience from myself. PM them to get additional insight.

 

My recommendation if you are certain about Moon Palace and an outside photographer, is to speak directly with those in the Miami office via the 1.800#, and get them to work for you and get it in writing. Additionally give a heads up to the photographer of interest. From what I've been reading, if the photographer doesn't have an experience w/ the exact resort, they do have one w/a resort that has simular pains against outside photographers and can provide some thoughts to get you what you want.

 

 

Good luck!
