Destination wedding

Hey guys! I am planning a destination wedding to Mexico and have no clue on what to do for a photographer. I have contacted a few photographers here in NB about shooting a destination wedding but from what I've gathered it's quite costly on their part to travel (visa's, insurance, taxes etc.)I had planned to pay for travel but I'm not sure if the rest will send me over budget. Does anyone have any suggestions or past experiences??!

    I'm also having a destination wedding in Mexico. We've decided to go with the resort's photographer. I plan to ask one of the guests to also take photos with a good camera as a back up. It does feel a bit risky.

    You probably already thought of this but because you are travelling to Mexico you aren't really restricted to NB photographers. I would find some photographers that advertise doing destination weddings and ask them for a quote. If they do them on a regular basis they likely already have visas and insurance. I would be worried about language difficulties with a local photographer depending on how good your Spanish is.

    Hi! From my experience, the wedding photographers recommended by the hotel are not the best. Remember that you cannot repeat your Big Day so it is really worth it to book a photographer who's style you like and who you can trust. Very often, I heard horror stories that brides weren't getting the images for months. It is good to do a research and make sure that your day will be captured as best as possible. Good luck!

    I'm planning my wedding to be in Mexico as well, & from what my travel agent has told me you will get a wedding coordinator when you get there & they can book a photographer for you.

    Are any of your guests good at photography? If so, maybe ask if they'd be willing to take pictures.

    You could get in contact with the hotel in Mexico. Most hotels have wedding photography packages and wedding planners on site. That willl probably be your best option.
