Say yes, say no! Things to consider when hiring a Wedding photographer in the Riviera Maya Mexico.

If you are planning to get married in a resort in Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Tulum and you want to book a wedding photographer there is some things good know upfront. In the following short blog post we use our experience as a local photography service to give you some insides.

What can you expect from us?

On your wedding day I will be capturing each and every special moment you share with your quests and with each other as a bride and groom. All important moments will be captured from preparations to the big 'I do' and anything that happens until the party is over. During the preparation of your big day I will be always making time to discuss details. If there is a dinner rehearsal the day before we are happily coming over to go through the major events with you, so that things go smoothly on the wedding day.

Picture what you want.

It is always helpful for any photography service to know more detailed what the client wants. On the other hand we can help you with time management and give you precise information how much time each part of the event will consume. Simple family pictures sound like an easy thing to do, but they require efficient organisation and usually eat up a lot of time.

Also take into account that the resorts and hotels of the Riviera Maya are enormous areas and getting from the beach ceremony to the dinner reception or even from the grooms to the brides getting ready residence might take valuable time off the clock. We can also include a second shooter for an extra fee - and we highly recommend doing that - to make sure every angle and moment is covered.

Mexico is hot!

When planning your wedding day don’t forget that we are in the carribbean and temperatures can be hotter than you are used to, especially when dressed in wedding attire. When your ceremony is taking place on the beach get it scheduled for the late evening. Anything between 5:00 and 6:00pm is a good time to start. Also you can be sure to have best light conditions for this important part of the day and your guests will be coming more relaxed to the dinner reception.

Bring your own wedding photographer, BYOWPH(?!)

If good wedding photos are important to you than you want to make sure that you will be able to bring a wedding photographer who’s style suits yours. BEFORE booking your venues location make sure you can bring your own photographer. As you will be spending your money there anyways you should be able to negotiate terms in advance. You are allowed to say no when not agreeing to what is offered to you, but say yes when the big moment comes!
