The Photo Everyone Will Ask You About
Somewhere in your camera roll there is already a screenshot of this: a woman on white Caribbean sand, meters of fabric lifted into the wind behind her, an open horizon at her back. The messages we get from guests staying at the Presidente InterContinental usually open with that exact picture and one line — "I want this on the calm water." Whether the trip is a honeymoon, a babymoon or an anniversary that deserves more than a phone selfie, this is the session that turns it into the photograph everyone asks about.
We've photographed thousands of sessions across Cancún, and the flying dress is the one we've refined into a choreography: we bring the dress in your color and size, an assistant shapes the fabric into the wind on every frame, and the photographer catches the peak of the movement at exactly the right beat. You stand where the light is best — the flying is our job.
Everything Is Arranged — You Just Step Into the Frame
Guests staying at the Presidente InterContinental book this session because it asks almost nothing of them: no dress to pack, no poses to invent, no logistics to solve.
-
The dress comes to you
Choose your color from our curated collection, in sizes XS to XXXL. It travels to the beach with us — nothing extra in your suitcase, nothing to rent or return.
-
No modeling experience needed
Almost nobody who books us has done an editorial shoot before. We direct every frame — where to stand, where to look, what to do with your hands — while the assistant makes the fabric fly.
-
A sea that lies flat like a mirror
This stretch sits on the sheltered Bahía de Mujeres side of Punta Cancún, so the water reads as a clean, glassy backdrop instead of a wall of whitecaps fighting the frame.
-
Minutes from your suite
We shoot on the public beach a couple of minutes from the hotel. You come down, we shoot, and you're back before the day's first mimosa.
The Flying Dress Sessions Presidente InterContinental Guests Book Most
Km 7.5 sits on the sheltered, wave-free side of Punta Cancún, so the guest we meet on this calm sand is almost always here for something worth slowing down for. These are the three sessions we photograph most for guests staying here:
Honeymoons & Anniversaries
The dress steals the frame, but your partner doesn't have to stay behind the camera: most couples mix editorial solo shots with portraits of the two of you in the same soft morning light. The glassy, still bay is made for exactly this. Our anniversary session guide walks through how couples shape that hour.
Babymoons
A calm, gentle beach is exactly what you want for a babymoon portrait, and this sheltered bay — one of the very few genuinely wave-free stretches in the city — is about as soft as this coast gets. We keep the pace unhurried, work in short bursts, and leave plenty of room to sit and breathe between frames. Our maternity and babymoon guide for Cancún covers timing and what to wear.
Milestone Birthdays
The trip that marks a decade — or just a year that deserved better — earns a photograph that doesn't look like anyone else's. Our birthday photoshoot guide shows how we build the session around the celebration.
What Your Session Looks Like
About one hour, fully guided from the first frame to the last. We arrive with the dress, you slip it over whatever you're wearing, and from there every shot is directed: the assistant lifts and shapes the fabric into the wind, the photographer calls the moment, and you simply hold the pose you've been placed in. Everything each package includes is laid out on our Flying Dress Cancun packages page.
Sunrise Keeps the Bay — and the Moment — Yours
We'll almost always propose an early slot, and not for the astronomy: this sheltered water is nearly empty at sunrise, the light comes in warm and low, and because the sea barely moves it mirrors the sky instead of scattering it across moving surf. You get clean backgrounds and the privacy to enjoy the whole production without an audience — and you're back at the resort before breakfast ends.
Where We Fly the Dress Near the Presidente InterContinental
Sessions happen on the public beach a couple of minutes from the hotel, on the calm Bahía de Mujeres sand at km 7.5, where the coastline turns its back on the open Caribbean and the water lies flat and glassy — and we choose the exact spot for you based on the light and the day's wind, so the fabric flies instead of fights. Want to go bigger? Add our flying dress with drone for the aerial shot of the dress spread across the sand, or the flying dress with horse for the full editorial fantasy.

Flying Dress at Presidente InterContinental — FAQ
I've never modeled — will I actually know what to do?
Yes, because you never have to decide anything mid-shoot. We direct every frame — where to stand, where to look, when to move — and the assistant handles the dress entirely. Almost none of our clients have done an editorial session before; it's designed for exactly that.
Can my partner or my family be in some of the shots?
Absolutely, and most sessions mix both: editorial solo frames with the dress, then portraits with your partner or family in the same light. Tell us who's coming and we'll plan the hour around it.
Do I have to stay at the Presidente InterContinental to do the photoshoot?
No. We shoot on the public beach at km 7.5, a couple of minutes from the hotel and open to everyone. And if you are staying at the Presidente, message us — we'll tell you exactly what your options are where you're staying.
How much is a flying dress photoshoot at the Presidente InterContinental?
Each package includes a different number of edited photos and add-ons, so the full breakdown lives on our Flying Dress Cancun packages page. Check it out, then book your date with us directly on WhatsApp.
What is the best time of day for the session?
Sunrise. This sheltered stretch is at its emptiest, the light is soft and golden, and the whole session stays private — you're done before the beach wakes up. We'll recommend the exact window for your date.
Do you provide the flying dress?
Yes. We bring a curated collection of flowing dresses in multiple colors, sizes XS to XXXL, and it's included with the session — you don't rent, buy or pack anything.
