Hey mariposa6102, We are using an outside vendor. Reading through the posts, what little I could find on the photographers on the resort wasn't all that good.....from what I read....and pictures are the one thing that you do look back at years later. So we decided not to risk it and booked Samuel Luna. I found his prices to be reasonable, I love his work, he was great at getting back to us, his English was fluent and he was super easy to book. There are lots of photographers for the Cancun area though, with great reviews.....so you'll have lots to choose from if you decide to take that route. Good Luck!
