Thanks for the reply!! Good to know! I will not be doing TTD, but can definitely share some photos Matanzas is the name of a province in Cuba, but it is also a small town I guess about a 30 minute drive from Varadero. Many of the people that work at the resorts live there. If you don't feel like driving 3 hours to Havana to get photos done in historic Cuba, you can just go to Matanzas. It is obviously smaller, but there are quaint streets, some colourful elements in the streets, as well as a few older churches... We are thinking of getting photos done by the old crumbling Matanzas cathedral.

I am getting married at the ILA next month and have been advised that people have issues with bringing their own photographers to Cuba!!! Yikes! Our photographer is a professional, but he is going as our friend, not a hired outsider. I really don't want him to be detained at the airport for having photography equipment. As well, my fiance is a photographer who will be bringing in his equipment to take landscape photos.... If anyone has any words of advice or experience, please advise, thanks!! I am getting super stressed about all this.. Also, what is the deal with car rental in Cuba? Is it safe? We wanted to rent a car for photos and drive it into Matanzas, and take photos there. Any info greatly appreciated!!
