@@crcombs Let us know if you're interested in doing an Engagement/Save the Date session while you're here in May. It's a nice way to meet face to face to talk more about your wedding and really go over the look and feel you're after We have a special promotion for couples who would like a pre-session and also book us for their wedding day!

@@tygrrlily We have a wedding coming up at Beach Palace very soon and then we're headed back to Toronto for the summer shooting weddings & engagement sessions for our future destination brides. Feel free to browse our Facebook page to check out some past Palace resort weddings we've shot here in paradise The photos below are from the Palace Resort Colin Cowie Wedding "Sunrise Collection"...

@@MM2MJ Usually our couples are in the same situation as you and don't include their hotel/resort info in their STD cards as details may not be finalized yet. If you have a wedding website that's a quick, easy and cost effective way to update everyone once you two have details worked out.

@@Ella2015 Seeing venues firsthand here in the Riviera Maya ahead of time to decide is definitely a plus! If you're looking to get married at a non-resort venue wedding planners will be a huge helper to work out many of the details with some of your vendors and oversee the day of coordination. We have worked with lots of fabulous planners and other vendors if you're looking for suggestions! @@Vintage Wedd We have worked with Blanca and KL Events...she's awesome! Yes she actually is FROM Cancun just like my hubby! Here are a few images from a recent wedding we shot for a bride & groom who also used her to design their big day...

@@NikkiMarie05 LOVE the idea of bringing your little dog with you to be there on your special day as your flower puppy...just as long as lil Roxi doesn't steal the show! I believe there are several pet friendly hotels here in the Riviera Maya. This is one site I know of that tries to keep track of them all... http://www.bringfido.com/lodging/city/riviera_maya_mx/ Happy planning!!!

@@linaco80 You'll find a ton of tips and resort suggestions here on BDW. Best of luck with the planning process and feel free to browse through our website or Facebook page for a little beach bride inspiration of weddings we've shot here in the Riviera Maya!

@@tygrrlily Gotta love a girl who knows what she wants and jumps right into planning! I'm actually originally from Toronto but now live here in Cancun with my hubby shooting destination weddings. Beach Palace is a gorgeous hotel. We have a wedding at BP coming up soon. Happy planning and here are a few photos from a recent Palace Resort wedding we shot... *Full Album can be seen here

@@kmk2016 Hopefully your guests will appreciate your thoughtfulness to give them more time to plan and save so they can be their on your special day here in paradise!

@@DianaDT We might be a little biased since we live and work here in Cancun but we think the Riviera Maya still has some of the most gorgeous beaches and incredible beaches around...perfect of course for destination weddings! There are many resort options for all types of budgets and TONS of awesome day trips and activities in the area (swimming in cenotes, zip lining, snorkelling, shopping etc.) And @@acw271011 is right...working with a travel agent is usually the best route to go. Just a reminder when you're choosing a resort to also inquire ahead of time about their policy regarding outside vendors so you'll have the flexibility to hire professional vendors for your big day without restrictions. All the best and happy planning!

@@pddcmc Don't worry...by the time your big day arrives here in paradise everything will come together

@@TiarraBeautyJ Awesome choice to get married on Isla Mujeres...gorgeous quiet beaches & INCREDIBLE sunsets!

Everyone is right... EVERY DAY is a "Saturday" here in paradise and whichever day of the week you choose will be perfect!!!

Bienvenidos @@kwoltzen & @@wincho We have a Paradisus Cancun wedding coming up in just a few weeks...we'll be sure to share the images

@@pddcmc We were just shooting in Grand Sunset Princess a few weeks ago! Our couple stayed at Grand Sunset but did things a little different and had their ceremony in the chapel on 5th Avenue in downtown Playa del Carmen. Feel free to take a peek at some of our images from Susan & Andy's wedding here

@@MBK Palace Resorts has become stricter with their rules regarding outside vendors. Officially it is $800 or a 3 night stay but we have shot on just day passes as well. Really varies!

@dknight0001 @Pitita We found the day of wedding coordinators at Sandos to be great! Our last couple at Sandos Playacar had a basic wedding ceremony on the beach and reception dinner at El Gaucho for their small group of guests. Everything came together nicely and the coordinator was very helpful throughout the day even ensured gawking guests were kept back during the ceremony. The wedding office is also centrally located and convenient to just pop in to ask any questions to the coordinator before the wedding. Still one of the major advantages for most couples is the ability to bring in your own pro photographers to Sandos with just day passes! For example most hotel photogs only give a few printed images (as mentioned in the Tripadvisor review) while we give ALL edited hi-res images on a USB. Our bride actually chose Sandos for this reason *warm wishes from paradise*

@@dknight0001 @@Pitita Hola ladies & greetings from sunny Cancun, Mexico! We feel Sandos Playacar is actually a hidden little gem. Since it's located as the last hotel in Playacar there is complete privacy with no resorts and natural beach to one side of the hotel which makes a great spot for the ceremony and photos afterwards! Another bonus with Sandos Playacar is if photos are important to you they ARE friendly to having outside professional photographers like ourselves in to shoot. (Iberostar for example has ridiculously high outside vendor fees but Sandos usually honours just a day pass). Here are some photos from a beautiful wedding we captured at Sandos Playacar... *To view more photos from Eric & Krissy's Sandos Playacar wedding, their Trash the Dress session and other weddings here in paradise visit our website or Facebook page*

@@liz24 @@jd0922 One of our recent brides did give her parents embroidered handkerchiefs and they LOVED them! She also gave one to her sister (appropriately embroidered with "No Ugly Crying"! lol) To see more photos of Stephanie & Eugene's destination wedding at Playacar Palace in Playa del Carmen, Mexico please visit our Facebook page

As photographers we LOVE capturing these awesome "wow" factors just as much as your guests enjoy them! Honestly...when we have a couple add a touch of awesomeness making their wedding unique it definitely stands out in our minds (and photos) and for all of their guests. Mariachis, Mexican food carts (sweet Marquesitas are actually really popular), cigar rollers, props handed out during dancing and photo booths are all really popular. Actually recently photo booths are a really simple but guests seem to go crazy for them (we include a complimentary photo booth with all full day packages)!!! Here are just a few of our recent beach brides & grooms own WOW factors from weddings we shot here in Cancun/Riviera Maya...

@LissaSou Greetings from sunny Cancun! I'm Canadian (originally from TO) living here in the Mayan Riviera with my hubby shooting awesome beach nuptials. To be honest it really does depend on the couple and what moments/elements from their day are most important to them and that they couldn't live without having captured. The very first thing we do is always chat with our potential beach brides and grooms over the phone or even Skype to get a better idea how they see their day unfolding, what they'd like included and help go from there. Our minimum package already includes 5 hours of coverage as we believe that is truly the minimum amount of time to properly cover even basic elements from a wedding. Often we end up creating a first rough timeline for the bride & groom. There's a lot to think about and this is where you will completely lean on having an experienced photographer taking care of your wedding day images (and sometimes even helping to guide you through the day). Here are some images from a recent wedding we shot at Grand Palladium... ***(View the entire album of Jason & Colleen's destination wedding at Grand Palladium here)*** View the entire album of Jason & Colleen's destination wedding at Grand Palladium here

@nattiegams325 We have had brides go through similar experiences in the past with their resorts. I think especially if you were given a quote prior to this in writing in an email you should feel confident to go ahead and bring it up with them noting it as a "mistake" and you would like it corrected I really don't feel as if you should be too nervous or worried about the wording. Try bringing it up with them and then go from there. Hope you get it sorted out & if you have any questions feel free to drop us a line!

Hey @kaylanicole My husband & I are pro destination wedding photographers living here in Cancun. We have shot many Palace/HR weddings with the Colin Cowie collection.
