Destination wedding

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!
