Why Tulum is made for a group celebration
Tulum has a bohemian magic that no other stretch of the Riviera Maya quite matches. The water glows turquoise, the sand is soft and pale, and the wild, untamed beach greenery gives every frame that effortless boho-chic look. It is the most photogenic beach in the region — which is exactly why it has become a favourite for bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, girls' trips and family getaways. When you bring a group here, the backdrop does half the work, and the relaxed Tulum atmosphere keeps everyone laughing between shots.
Perfect for bachelorettes, birthdays and girls' trips
A Flying Dress session is one of those rare ideas that suits almost any celebration. Brides-to-be love it as the centrepiece of a bachelorette weekend — flowing dresses, the bride in the spotlight, and her whole crew in the frame. Friends marking a big birthday use it to capture a moment they will look back on for years. Families on holiday turn it into the photo that ends up framed on the wall. We welcome groups travelling in from all over — many of our parties fly in from the United States, Canada and Europe to celebrate in Tulum. Whatever the occasion, the formula is the same: stunning dresses catching the Tulum breeze, and a photographer guiding everyone through poses so no experience is needed.
Group discounts with a custom quote
Because every group is different, we put together a personalized quote rather than a fixed price list. Group bookings come with a discount, and the more of you there are, the more there is to tailor — which dresses, how many people are being photographed, and how you would like the session to flow. Just tell us roughly how many are coming and what you are celebrating, and we will send a quote built around your group. Sessions still start from $169 USD per person as a reference point, with a single $30 deposit to reserve and the balance paid on the day of your shoot.
For larger groups, we split you into staggered time slots
When you have a bigger party, the secret to a great group shoot is smart scheduling. Rather than trying to photograph everyone at once, we split the group into smaller waves with staggered start times — typically 8:00, 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. Each wave gets its own dedicated time on the sand, and because we bring several photographers — roughly one per person being photographed — everyone is shooting at the same time within their slot rather than waiting around. It is fast, dynamic and high-energy: a wave shoots for about an hour, and just as they are finishing the next wave arrives to take over. The result is a session where nobody stands around bored and nobody feels like an afterthought — everyone gets proper time in front of the camera and everyone shines.
How a group session works, step by step
We send you clear directions and meet your group at Playa La Roca — our favourite Tulum spot, named for its dramatic rock formation and away from the busiest tourist areas — at your assigned time slot. La Roca is also where the most spectacular shots happen: the photographers can work from a low angle, camera near the sand looking up, so each dress soars against the sky for that larger-than-life look. With several photographers on hand — about one per person — your group shoots together rather than queuing, and a clothing assistant keeps each dress catching the wind beautifully, so you do not need any experience at all. We capture the playful in-between moments and the full-group shots, then the next wave steps in around the hour mark. Friends and family who simply want to watch and cheer are welcome at no extra cost.
Your professionally edited photos arrive within 72 hours through a private online gallery, ready to share the moment you are all back home — or before your trip is even over.
What is included for every guest
The Flying Dress is provided and included in the package, in sizes XS to XXXL, so nobody needs to bring or buy a thing. Every session includes the dress, your professional photographer and a clothing assistant who keeps the fabric flowing perfectly. Because the dress is provided, planning a group is simple — you just choose who is being photographed and we handle the wardrobe.
Beyond the beach: a Tulum twist
Tulum's beaches are the classic setting — Playa La Roca is our recommended spot, and the public stretches are easy to reach by bus, taxi or Uber, with private resort-beach sessions available on request. But Tulum also offers something you will not find elsewhere on the coast: for a group wanting a truly distinctive set of images, we can arrange a dramatic cenote backdrop nearby — the jungle-framed natural pools the area is known for. It is a beautiful way to give your celebration a one-of-a-kind look that feels unmistakably Tulum.
Tips for planning your group shoot
Book ahead. Tulum is busy in the dry season from November to April, and group slots fill quickly — reserving early guarantees your date and gives us time to build your custom quote.
Aim for the morning. We recommend starting around 8 a.m. at Playa La Roca — the light is soft, the sea is calm and the beach is still quiet, the ideal window for a relaxed group session, and the natural anchor for our staggered 8:00, 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. waves. The golden hour before sunset is a lovely second option.
Go barefoot and plan your swimwear. Sessions are shot barefoot on the sand, and we recommend a strapless or backless swimsuit underneath so nothing shows through the airy dress.
Arrive ready. Come with hair and makeup done if you would like a polished look — especially the guest of honour — and we will take care of everything else.
