RIU Photographer - prices and pics

[RiuORBride2B]

Ok, I have received some information about the photographer from another person on this forum (she gave the ok to post this info).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Michael, I´m the head photographer and shop manager and I´m in charge of all the weddings. I´m german nationality and live in Jamaica since that time the hotel started.

 

We are in charge since the opening in Oct 2005 and we have done more than 300 weddings already since that time

As you can see with the attached pictures (following in two seperate emails), we experienced a lot of different situations with our guests and that made

us to be very flexible to your demands as far as professional photography or videography is concerned.

 

Some reasons why to take us as your professional photographer...besides the attached pictures (following in two seperate emails)...:

 

We know our way around, we know how to deal with the tropical light or the tropical clouds.

We know the best places to get the nicest pictures and we don´t have "battery issues"...

We are neutral while all of your party want to party after a little while....

we shoot a lotof pictures - around 160-250...differs from the size of the party, the mood of the bride and the groom and how many actions and situations we see...

There is a lot to choose from and you really can take the best ones (f.e. from group shots)

we feel and work like entertainers ...we make everybody smile on this "NO PROBLEM"-ISLAND Jamaica, because when it come to pictures, people are mostly different from their natural way to behave....

I think we are a very good partner for your destination wedding over here.

 

We have a nice PHOTOSHOP in the hotel, where we can meet and continue with all questions as soon as you arrive on the Island.

 

Please don´t hesitate to ask us again if some questions remain open - already from home - but there are a few things I would like to let you know already by now:

 

Please note, that prices on the RIU website which do not match with our pricelist, are not authorised by my company and therefore are not valid (they have never been).

No arrangements need to be done prior to your arrival but we do not take responsibility if services are no longer available if the basic package (necessary for Free & Classic weddings) as well as extra bookings (like DVD or extra hours) are not arranged within 24 hours prior to the wedding time.

Please also take into consideration that the time included in the wedding package purchased by the hotel (45 min) starts at the time given on the papers by the weding department. Any delays in appearance will be charged as extra hours if requested.

Due to a very close timetable with the weddings at the Property, some extensions might not be possible if not arranged earlier ( we just simply need to do the next wedding then,otherwise we would get a second photographer to stay with you)

Please note that no other professional photographer or videographer is allowed to work on the property due to the contract I have with RIU as a seperate company.

Prices are subject to change without further notice

Ok, here are some photos. I totally apologize about the attachment, I am always the one complaining about not being able to open the attachments b/c I don't have enough points. I couldn't figure out how to put the pics in the body of the message, but as soon as I figure it out (or someone tells me how) I will post them so everyone can see them.

 

Closer to the end of the attachment there are pics that show flowers and the gazebos and set up on the beach. I will post those in another thread as well.

I upload them to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket (you would need to register here) and then use the 'insert image' tool on here. When you upload an image to photobucket, it gives you 3 different codes (HTML tag, URL link & IMG code) - for this, you use the URL link.

Thanks, I'll give it a try
