I Have to Use Beaches Negril Resort Photographer

[la chapstick fanatique]

Beaches Negril has a new policy. Unless you are willing (or can afford) to pay for three nights for your wedding photographer, you cannot bring one in. We can't afford to do that plus the cost of the photographers services too. One of our reasons for a DW was to keep it affordable. So I guess I will have to use the resort photographer. I am really upset about it because I found a Jamaican photographer I really liked but I guess it is what it is. I really think I will just want the images on a CD since they dont seem like they are artfully edited. I can just buy photoshop and edit them myself. I guess I have a few questions:

 

1. Can you wait to book a photographer until you get down there? I have a phone appt with my WC in Miami tomorrow and I have a feeling she is going to try and push a package. Why would I pay for something without seeing samples of their work first?

 

2. How long can you have the photographer for?

 

3. Has anyone done a trash the dress session with the resort photgrapher?

 

4. What has been everyone's experiences with the resort photographers there? Anyone have pictures?

 

Thank you so much!!

We are going to Sandals Negril in May. We are having our wedding off resort through a WC in Jamaica. After all the extra expenses for the "free" wedding at Sandals it wasn't much more to do it off resort. And we think it is much more personalized for us. We are also getting a true sunset wedding.

Which WC are you using in Negril?

I ended up having Simone in Negril. She was awesome!!! I had my wedding on October 16, 2010. I just wanted to let you all know that I will be reviewing my experience (which was awesome!!) on my blog http://lachapstickfanatique.blogspot.com/ over the next few weeks. I wanted to be able to use a lot of pictures and talk about each aspect specifically which is more difficult to do on here. So please stop by and I can answer any questions you need!!!!

Hey Jamaica0510... What WC did you use? Where did you end up having your reception? What vendors did you use?

 

Thanks!
