Ocho Rios Jamaica Wedding

Ocho Rios is one of Jamaica’s most visited regions and where you will find great beaches, all kinds of different resort options and lots of tours and activities. It is busier than Negril and on par with Montego Bay when it comes to  action. It is approximately a two hours drive east from the Montego Bay Airport. Dunn’s River Falls, Jamaica bob sledding and Ziplining are some of the many local excursions to experience here!

Most ships dock at the cruise-ship terminal on Ocho Rios Bay (the UDC Port), on the west side of town, just off the main coastal road. Others berth just west of the cruise-ship terminal at Reynolds Pier. Some of the larger ships anchor off the coast and take passengers to the terminal in smaller craft, though this is only done in instances where there are two to three large ships in port at the same time.

OCHO RIO'S WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: TIPS & TRICKS

Let’s face it, brides, one of the most essential aspects of your destination wedding is photography!  And, of course, you’ll want to ensure your Ocho Rios wedding photographer understands your wedding photography wish list to a tee.  Jamaica offers some of the best wedding photographers in the Caribbean.  Many premier Jamaican-based photographers can be found right within your chosen all-inclusive resort.  Our best tip is to first check with your wedding venue to see who their in-house wedding photographers are.  Ask to see some of their work.  And if you are satisfied with their work, you are set.  There are additionally local photographers within Jamaica that you can hire.  Be sure to check with your all-inclusive Ocho Rios resort regarding their policies around photographers and, in addition, their outside vendor fees.  These fees can add up, especially if your chosen photographer needs an assistant.  A popular and alternative option is to bring a local photographer from home.  That can help avoid vendor fees and provide that extra time for a “trash the Dress” session if you choose.  Our favorite advice surrounding your Ocho Rios destination wedding is to ensure your photographer takes advantage of those beautiful Caribbean Sea photos.  Ocho Rios has some of the most beautiful sand beaches in Jamaica.  Develop your shot list to have as many gorgeous Jamaica sunset beach photos as possible.  Jamaican weather usually is very favorable for getting those once-in-a-lifetime beach pictures.  They will surely bring you both smiles for a lifetime!
