Really want to do a TTD session!!!

[Cindy&London]

I have my heart set on doing a TTD session a day or 2 after our wedding. We are getting married May 4, 2009 at the Moon Palace in Cancun. We are using the resort photog for the ceremony and reception, which is fine. But, MP doesn't allow any outside vendors unless they are your "guest", which means we would have to pay for a extra room and they can come for an hour or 2 and do the TTD session... which seems like a waste of money & room! I'm wondering if anyone here has run into this problem and if there were any photog's that were willing to do a TDD session somewhere else.. public beach or something of that nature. Somewhere we could just meet up and do the shoot? Any advice or suggestions?

There are many photogs who are willing to meet you at another location off your resort ~ in fact, I think most couples do their TTD sessions somewhere other than their resort to get a background/atmosphere that is different from their wedding day pictures. So I don't think you'll have any problem at all!

 

Next step would be finding a local photog who offers TTD session since you're using the resort photographer for the wedding day, and luckily in the Cancun/RM area there are plenty! Off the top of my head I know there is.... (you can google all these names and find their websites):

 

- Claudia Rodriguez

- Cecilia Dumas

- Vanessa Vargas

- Michael Maurus

- Del Sol Photography

- Elizabeth Medina (she lives in another part of Mexico and requires at least 1 night stay - this is her policy at least for weddings)

- Moments that Matter Photography

- Playa Weddings

- Octavio Montes

 

Can't think of anymore at the moment, but I'm sure you'll have no problem finding someone who can fit your needs and budget ~ can't wait to see the final product TTD sessions look like so much fun!

Try Martha Roque I know that she does do TTD off site and other Moon Palace Brides have used her. Dez got married this month and she was using her any luck she'll be back soon post her review and you can take it from there

I'm using Claudia for my TTD! We are planning on going off-site for ours too! Good luck! TTD looks like SO much fun...we are really looking forward to doing it!!

I'm using Moments That Matter photography for TTD and will be going off site. I think I would be to nervous or less inhibited to do the TTD right on site at our resort. We are going to go to a private beach or cenote with them for the TTD.

Claudia Rodriguez is doing our TTD off the resort... it is a little bit more money, but worth it to go to a non-crowded beach

I am interested in the TTD session but i had some questions..... Doing the session, does it ruin your dress? Can anyone recomend a good photographer for the TTD. I am getting married in Dreams Tulum on May 8, 2009. Thanks

I'm buying a second cheap dress off of ebay for my TTD Its less than $150 and its worth it not to ruin my ML dress....Dose anyone know of a great place to take TTD's?

Hola! I did my trash the dress session on a public beach in Tulum. It's just south of the Tulum Ruins, so you can imagine how beautiful the water was. Plus, we went right away in the morning so the beach was empty. It was awesome. I will definitely go back there and I highly recommend it!
