Default Foto Caribbean

Hi,

I do not know if I am posting in the right spot, but was hoping someone can help me. We are using foto caribbean for our photog. Does anyone have any reviews on them? Good or bad Thanks in advance.

Foto Caribbean - Riviera Maya
here is their website. I just learned they are the photographers for my hotel too. I'm searching for reviews, etc. now. I have a price sheet. PM me & I'll send it to you.

Foto Caribbean - Riviera Maya -

Looking at their gallery, I can tell this is not my picture style. Most of the pictures look very staged. I like fun pictures, but these seem a little cheesy to me. The guys holding their jackets over their backs, the back to back poses, etc. It's not what I'm looking for. I'm now exploring options outside of the hotel photographer.

Here is someone's photobucket account with their pictures taken by foto caribbean. They are on page 11 & 12 of their account.

jellybean1109 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I was quoted $600 for 100 pictures plus negatives. I read several people saying they got the negatives thrown in for free. I think that would mean they paid around $400. Pretty cheap, but I've yet to find any non-staged pictures.

Thank you for all your info. Are you staying at an Iberostar resort? That is my prob. the pics look very cheesy. I think I am just going to go with them. My fiance will not pay the $300 fee for an outside photog. So I will use them and have my cousin take some shots. Thank again for all your info. GL
