OFFICIAL Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya Thread


Recommended Posts

Thanks for your reply. Do you know why we cannot do pics at the ruins? My photographer and I both have it set in our heads that we would do this! :) he was wondering if we would need a permit or something though.

I'm guessing you are taking your own photographer with you All the local photographers will advise and give you other options be it for wedding or Trash the Dress sessions. There are amazing beaches and denotes that they use. Tulum ruins are sacred hence no wedding party photos permitted, I have to say even if they were it would be a headache trying to get photos outwith the tourists visiting the site Even though it covers a large area it is a busy place. Good luck finding s location x

Nope, it's illegal to get pictures taken at the Tulum ruins.  You will be turned away immediately.  If they catch you trying to sneak in, they will confiscate your photographers equipment.

Thank you for letting me know about the ruins. That would have been really embarrassing to show up there only to be turned away! Definitely good info to know. Yep, we are flying our photog in...he will be a paid guest at the resort so I am assuming that he will be ok? I thought I read that somewhere on this forum?

Yeah, I still attempted it for my wedding (it was back when this forum was pretty new so it wasn't well known that you couldn't get in...) and it was embarrassing!

 

Flying in your photographer will be fine as long as all his/her paperwork is filled out correctly upon entering the country.

I mentioned it in the other thread, but I will mention it here too, you cannot hire a local (Riviera Maya) photographer to photograph your wedding.  They will not allow it.

 

You can fly in a photographer (honestly, it's cheaper than the hotel photographer and you'll get better and more pictures).  You can also have the photographer stay at a different hotel, however you are then charged a $800 day pass... so that doesn't make much sense.

Thanks Trish I knew it was a crazy price for people to take a photographer from home but not as much as that - GEEEZO !! BangHead.gif

 

I wish I could say it wold be cheaper but its not as we are in Scotland

 

Awe well bang goes that thought.  It would be far too much for us to pay
