Found the following on a website recently .... hope you find it useful:

 

Important Notice About Photography

In an effort to reduce costs/maximise profits, more and more resorts are ony allowing brides and grooms to use the resort photographer for your wedding or charging high fees to allow you choose your own.

 

We believe your wedding photographs are one of the most important aspects of your day, and the only one that lasts a lifetime. We recommend checking with your chosen resorts for rules or hidden fees.

 

The following is a list of resorts who do not allow you to (or make it very expensive to) choose your own photographer:

 

Sandals Resorts - All locations

Breezes Resorts - All locations

Couples Resorts - All locations

Grand Lido Resorts - All locations

Hedonism Resorts - All locations

Starfish Resorts - All locations

"Rooms on The Beach" Resorts - All locations

Rose Hall - Jamaica

Half Moon - Jamaica

 

Frenchman's Reef - St Thomas/USVI

Ritz Carlton - St Thomas/USVI

This list is not complete, and we will add to it as we learn of more.

 

Please check with your resort before booking!!
