I am paying a flat fee of $3000 ($1000 for his travel, which I booked, and $2000 for his photog. services).
For this fee I am getting:
- 3 hours of photography for the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner
- All day the day of the wedding (no time limit)
- Trash the dress/day after the wedding photos at the ruins (his suggestion)
His portfolio is awesome. Check out his website:

I think his rates have gone up a bit, but he is still reasonable. He lives in Seattle and will fly anywhere. I will post a review when I get back from the honeymoon in November.
Did you find out if you are able to have pictures done there ? That was my 1st choice of place but they only open at 9 and many many people go there (cruises). There is a long walk to the beach from the entrance. The beach looks wonderful but I would not like to have other people in the pictures with me !!!! Let me know what you do since I will be getting married at Dreams Tulum this December and I still don't know where to TTD !!!! Can you walk down the beach of the resort for me...maybe you (in october)and then me (in decembre)can ttd there?
