Photography question- Do you think Bellagio will allow?

Knottie44579107

I heard that the Bellagio is getting strict with people taking wedding pictures in front of the fountain. I am getting married at the Bellagio and staying there. Our ceremony package only has the photographer just for the ceremony. My brother however, is a photographer. Do you think the Bellagio will give us a hard time if my brother takes pictures with his camera? (just a camera, no fancy set ups) He would be doing it for free and we wouldn't be paying him, and he's related to us. So in my head its kinda like a tourist taking pictures of other tourists, or am I wrong? Just don't want to have to pay an extra couple grand to take pictures in front of the fountains when my brother could do it for me.

 

Thank you!

I sincerely doubt they'd have any issue with you getting photos taken in front of the fountains. I you tried to cut through and get them done in Picasso or whatever that restaurant is, then they're going to have an issue.

Just my two cents; don't know for sure.

Thank you, I talked to my fiance and he thinks we won't have any problems since we're not using a "professional" photographer, just my brother.

Even if it were a professional photographer, I don't think they'd care unless you were interrupting one of the restaurants or the nightclubs or the valet or something.

I thought I saw a previous post about them cracking down on people taking photos recently. You may want to search the boards.
