Using Sandals Resorts Photography. Is it worth it?

Alyssa, on May 31, 2018 at 6:21 AM Posted in Planning 1 5
Hello all,

My FH are getting married at one of the Sandals Resorts in St.Lucia, I have read mixed reviews about using their photography and it has been half good and half bad. Will the resort still charge if you bring your own photographer? Pictures are very important to us. I have looked over at the photo packages at the resort and they seem sketchy, I get 24 unedited photos for $500?

Any suggestions? Should I bring my own photographer who would also be a wedding guest? Or just take my chances with the resort photography?

    I would bring my own based on the outsider fee Sandals charges as there is definitely a fee.

    Did you end up using them? Im getting married in Sandals-South Coast and also very worried about the photography package they offer/quality they will be. Would love to hear what you guys ended up doing and how it went!

    Hey there! No we did not use them, I felt the quality and number of their photos were not worth the price they were charging. We brought our own professional photographers. Now, sandals does charge a fee to bring your own photographers. They told us last minute and it was very upsetting. I believe the fee was $500 per photographer you bring. I would call them to verify this fee. Luckily our photographers were able to help cover a portion of this fee. Honestly, it is up to you and how important your wedding photos are to you. The photographers at sandals just take regular pictures that don’t look professional whatsoever in my opinion. This is a special day for you and you future husband so make the memories special and get some good quality photos taken to look back on! I hope this helps and congratulations!! 😊😊😊

    Also, having our own photographers there was so worth it! They were able to take beautiful photos. If you do bring your own photographers, I would let them know about the fee and try to work out a deal like our photographers did.

    Always bring in your own. Photographers employed by the venue never work in your favor but they don't want you to know that.
