Your Riviera Maya Photographer

Photographers in the Riviera Maya, Mexico

Picture it: turquoise water in front of your room, the jungle just behind it, and the people you love in one place, for once. That is the Riviera Maya, from Puerto Morelos all the way down to Tulum, and it is where we capture proposals and engagements, families, couples and celebrations, for travelers and for people lucky enough to live here.

We specialize in Lifestyle and Weddings: real moments, lightly guided, so you can stay in the moment while we keep it for you. Staying further north? Meet our Cancun photographers.

Photoshoots for every occasion in the Riviera Maya

On holiday for a few days or lucky enough to live here, every occasion deserves to be remembered.

Most of our Riviera Maya photoshoots happen right at your resort: the beach in front of your room, the gardens, the pool, the corners only the staff know about. The sun rises over the Caribbean here, so mornings are soft and golden on the sand, and late afternoon light turns warm under the palms. Your photographer will suggest the best time and spots for your hotel. All you have to do is enjoy it.

Every photoshoot is about you, not a checklist of poses. Maybe it is your first trip with the baby, a big birthday, a honeymoon, or three generations finally in one place. We keep it light, we laugh a lot, and we capture the moments in between, the ones you would never think to pose for.

Many of our guests tell us it was the best hour of their vacation. Pick your date below and see for yourself.

Riviera Maya photoshoot FAQ

How much does a photoshoot cost?

Photoshoots start from USD 250 for a pack of 10 edited photos, and larger packs cost less per photo. When you book online, a pre-payment secures your date.

How long does a photoshoot take?

Between 45 minutes and 1 hour.

When do I get my photos?

After your photoshoot you choose your favorites from 80 to 150 edited photos. Your selected photos are delivered in the DreamArt app within 48 hours, and you can turn them into photo books, canvases and prints.

Do I need to stay at a resort to book a photoshoot in the Riviera Maya?

No. We photograph guests at our partner resorts along the coast, and if you live in the Riviera Maya or are staying elsewhere, we can meet you at a beach or place you choose.

What should I wear?

Whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable. Bright, colorful clothes look great in photos, and plan for your clothes getting wet, as many photoshoots end in or near the ocean. For ideas, see our beach photoshoot outfit guide.

What if there is seaweed on the beach?

Sargassum comes and goes on this coast, mostly between spring and late summer. If your beach is affected on the day, your photographer moves the photoshoot to the gardens, the pool or a clearer stretch of sand, so your photos stay beautiful.
