Have his card somewhere, there names are William and Clive and they were great. I won't get the pro pics back until maybe next week though.

So I have been stressing about this too for the Riu Negril. I emailed the wedding sales dept and this is what I got back:

Dear Megan,

Thank you for contacting RIU Weddings Sales Department.

I would like to inform you that we have spoke with Dionne about this matter. There would be no problem with the photographer as long as he or she is part of the wedding guests. At the moment we do not accept external suppliers.

If you shall require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My impression is that they have given us an out while still following their policy. I will just say our photographer is one of our guests!
