Michael Saab Photography
Your Jamaica
wedding investment
I've been photographing weddings in Jamaica for over two decades, from intimate elopements on Seven Mile Beach to full celebrations at Half Moon, Round Hill and Tryall Club. My style is creative and documentary. I tell your story as it unfolds, with thoughtful composition and a light touch on direction.
Most of my couples are travelling to Jamaica from abroad and booking me remotely. I'm used to that. We'll connect over email, WhatsApp or video call, and I'll make sure everything is clear and easy well before your wedding day.
If you've heard that your resort charges an outside vendor fee for photographers, don't let that give you pause. Reach out first and let's figure it out together.

Common questions
Before you
reach out
How do I secure my date?
To secure your date, a 25% initial retainer is required, with a 25% mid-term payment at three months, and the final 50% balance settled two weeks prior to your wedding. Get in touch and I'll walk you through the simple booking process.
How long until I receive my photos?
Your edited gallery will be delivered within 4 to 6 weeks of your wedding day, sometimes sooner depending on the time of year.
Will I receive every photo taken?
No. Test shots, duplicates, out of focus frames and unflattering expressions are removed. You receive the best curated selection, fully edited with no limit on the number delivered.
Do you travel across Jamaica?
Yes. I cover Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, Kingston and beyond. No travel fee for Montego Bay, Negril or Ocho Rios. A travel and accommodation fee applies for Kingston, Port Antonio and Treasure Beach.
Can I order albums and prints?
Yes. Albums, prints and other keepsakes can be purchased directly through your online gallery.
Have you shot at my venue before?
Almost certainly. I've photographed at most wedding venues across Jamaica and know many of them inside out. In the rare case I haven't, I welcome the new challenge.
My venue charges an outside vendor fee. Does that affect my quote?
Not necessarily. Reach out and let me know your venue. In many cases the answer is better than you expect.
