Picked a place!! Riu Merengue

BachataBride · October 17, 2008

A friend of mine does photography as a hobby, so he will be taking our pics (along with everyone else there!). I have heard a few horror stories about the photographer there...http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t29872...I also received an email from a girl who just got married there and used the resort photographer.

"The only complaint we had was about the photographers... they took beautiful pics, but they were very expensive... they charged us around $600 US for just 60 digital pictures on a CD. If you have a friend who's a photographer coming with you, I'd go with that."

So if you can afford a pro to take with you (or you can "buddy" up with someone & share the travel costs) then I would do that. Also, search for Renee Cobb...I know she's going to be in the northern DR this January & February so she doesn't charge for travel. I was going to use her, but we just couldn't fit it in the budget!! She may not be able to tell you if she will be there in November, but you can keep in touch!!

Hope this helps!

The Riu hotels in Puerto Plata are really excellent. That facility to use and to enjoy different atmospheres is very attractive. As far as the photos for weddings, I agree that the areas of Riu Bachata are the best ones. HERE I leave some images them for which they wish to see more.
