Bonito Films’ Tips for a Perfect Hotel Wedding
1. Keep Your Getting-Ready Room Clean
A cluttered room—think makeup bags, snack wrappers, or scattered clothes—distracts from stunning prep shots. For your Cancun or Riviera Maya hotel wedding, tidy up before we arrive. A “clean” space lets us focus on you—your dress, your smile—not the mess. At Bonito Films, we’ve seen how a neat room at Riu Palace Costa Mujeres elevates those first-look candids into timeless frames.
Choose a Bright Getting-Ready Space
If your hotel offers options, pick a room with big windows, white walls, or a shaded patio—natural light is our best friend. Dark corners or yellow lighting dull your photos. Hotels like Dreams Playa Mujeres often have suites with ocean-view balconies—perfect for glowing shots. For your Cancun or Riviera Maya hotel wedding, this choice means radiant prep footage, courtesy of Bonito Films’ eye for light.
Bring Special Items for Detail Shots
Got invitations, ring boxes, or heirlooms like Grandma’s necklace? Bring them! These details add depth to your story. At Bonito Films, we love photographing these treasures—think your rings nestled in a coconut shell at Grand Palladium Kantenah. For your Cancun or Riviera Maya venuewedding, they’re a must for our signature detail shots—don’t leave them behind!
Share the Schedule with Everyone
Brides, sync your groom, wedding party, and family on the day’s timeline—4 PM ceremony, 6 PM golden hour, 8 PM dancing. Misaligned timing throws off shots. We’ve seen it at Hyatt Zilara Cancun—a late groomsman delays everything. For your Cancun or Riviera Maya venue wedding, a shared schedule keeps us on track for perfect candids and key moments.
Eat and Shower Before We Arrive
Don’t greet us in a towel with a granola bar! Eat, shower, and have hair and makeup done when we get there. At Bonito Films, we want to dive into candid moments—balcony gazes or veil adjustments—not wait for prep. For your Cancun or Playa del Carmen Maya hotel wedding, being ready lets us maximize your film’s magic from minute one.
List Your Family Photo Combos
No family photo list? We’ll follow our standard flow:
- Bride’s Side: Extended family with bride and groom, immediate family with B&G, bride with parents, mom, dad, siblings.
- Groom’s Side: Same repeat.
At Dreams Vista Cancun, this method works like clockwork. For your Cancun or Riviera Mexico hotel wedding, send us your combos ahead—Bonito Films nails every shot efficiently.
Leave Event Shots to Us
No need to list “First Kiss” or “First Dance”—we’ve got it covered. From processional to cake cutting, Bonito Films captures every moment you’ve scheduled us for. At Secrets Riviera Cancun, we’ve filmed it all without missing a beat. For your Cancun or Tulum Maya hotel wedding, trust us to document the day’s flow naturally.
Why These Tips Matter for Your 2025 Wedding
A Cancun or Riviera Maya hotel wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and small prep steps make a big difference.
