Photographer is limited at RIU?

[anoe1113]

I am getting married at RIU Tropical Bay Palace. I have to pay a vendors fee because I am using my own photographer and not the one at the resort. I have no problem paying the fee but the package that I bought includes the photographer coming as of me getting ready (hair, makeup, putting the dress on). When I spoke to the WC she told me that the photographer is only allowed to come 1 hour before the ceremony begins and is NOT allowed to go into guests room. When I asked why, there was no explanation. Anyone know a possible reason? I can deal with getting there an hour before, but now I can't have pictures of my wedding dress on a hanger, me getting zipped up putting my dress on because she can't come into me room? I don't understand why I have to pay a vendors fee but then my use of my vendor is limited.

How would they know he/she is in your room and who is going to stop them. My daughter is getting married in RIU Negril and the WC did not tell her this. Is there another number you can call?

Lol, thats what my maid of honor said. She decided that one of her roles is to sneak her into my room before or at least an hour before. I only have contact information for my wedding coordinator. Shes been very helpful with everything else so since she said no to this I assume its kinda a big deal. I just don't understand why.
