Here is a link to my review of the Barcelo Maya Colonial, and our wedding info. We got married on March 14, 2015. Feel free to ask me any questions!!! http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/reviews/r/4978-barcelo-maya-colonial/#review

UPDATE: We have decided to go with Ocean Studio, and have agreed on 5hrs photo, and an edited video dvd of the ceremony. I am taking a RAW cd home of photos (no edits) and am having a friend edit the photos at home so I don't have to wait months for my photos to arrive by mail, I save a ton of money, AND I can have a say in the edits. The resort still has a strict "no outsider" policy, and a $500 fee if you bring an outsider photographer into the resort.

Our wedding is spring break 2015, and the wedding coordinator at the Barcelo informed me that we are not allowed to use an outside photographer. If we do, we will be charged $500. The resort photographer is Ocean Photo studio http://www.oceanphotostudio.com/en/ and their packages are PRICEY! I've attached their package in PDF format. Holy moly.... Has anybody worked with the Ocean Photo Studio? Has anybody got a less expensive package through them? Does anybody have any photographer suggestions that would be more affordable? At this point, we are looking at paying the way for our photographer friend to attend Mexico, then they would take all of our photos as our guest and we wouldn't have to pay the $500 charge. Originally, I'd budgeted like $800 for photos, because I only want digital copies of photos from us getting ready, the ceremony and cocktail hour/reception and then a dvd video of the ceremony. I don't want to deal with the shipping of prints as well as photo books etc. I'd rather take a CD home with the photos, then develop them at home. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My fiancé and I are picking resorts for our intimate spring break 2015 wedding (20 people). So far price is becoming an issue, and the resorts that we originally wanted are outside of our price range over spring break. We are now considering the Barcelo Maya Colonial/tropical (price pending), or the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya. However, I can't find ANY wedding package information for the grand sirenis. I've seen tons of lovely photos, but I can't find any package info or prices, OR coordinator contact info. Can anybody help me out, please?! Thanks in advance Also, I'm open to other resort suggestions
