Did you pick your resort based on being able to have outside photographers?

we didn't have to change our resort choice based on the ability to bring an outside photographer since we lucked out that our first choice allowed it. you can bet though that if i had found out that we weren't allowed that would have certainly been a deal breaker. i can hardly remember what i had for dinner yesterday so i'd rather have some amazing pictures to bring back all the memories of my wedding than save a few bucks!

I've had a couple of brides pick me not only based on location's policies but also on date's availability. It's like your hubby-to-be, once you know he's the one, you don't want other, no matter what!

Being able to bring in our own photographer played a large role in the resort we chose. Once the day is over, all you have left are your photos and who really wants to be stuck with poor quality pics because they were forced to use the resort photog. When I first decided to have a DW, the first place I thought to look was at a Sandals properties because of their Preston Bailey Weddingmoon packages but after seeing their restrictions on using outside vendors I began looking elsewhere.
