Can You Bring a Photographer to Devossion by Live Aqua?

In short

Usually yes, as your guest, if you register the photographer with the hotel ahead of time. The rules belong to the hotel, so we confirm them in writing. The beach and Fifth Avenue are public, so those parts of a session do not depend on the hotel.

At an all-inclusive, wristbands and day passes make people nervous about bringing an outsider. Being in the middle of town helps at Devossion, since half of your session can happen outside the gates.

Inside the Hotel

For guests of Devossion by Live Aqua there is no complicated process: register the photographer with the front desk a day or two ahead and we check in on arrival. Hotels set their own rules for outside vendors and revise them, so we get the current answer in writing for your date. Staying elsewhere usually means a day pass. Our guide to outside photographers at resorts has the details.

Tell us your check-in name and suite category. Horizon Suites come with a butler, who can usually help with the arrangement.

Outside the Hotel

Mexican beaches are public, so the shoreline is available to everyone, and Fifth Avenue is a few minutes' walk. If the hotel's rules on your date are too restrictive, we simply meet you on the sand or in town, and the session works just as well.

For a Wedding

Weddings follow a different process, usually with a vendor approval and possibly a charge. Ask the hotel for the current rules in writing, and see our Devossion wedding guide.
