Rosewood Mayakoba Photographer: Book Free, Pay Only for the Photos You Love

The Celebrations Couples Book at Rosewood Mayakoba

You booked one of the most private resorts on this coast, and that tells us most of what we need before you even write: this is a trip for two, and usually it is marking something. These are the three sessions couples staying here book most.

Anniversaries

The trip is the gift; the photographs are the part that outlives it. Ten years, twenty-five, forty — the number changes and the request never does: one unhurried hour, the two of you, dressed the way you dressed for the dinner you already reserved. We shoot it at first light, so the beach is yours and the whole day is still ahead of you. Our anniversary session guide shows how we pace an hour like that.

Honeymoons

A once-in-a-lifetime week deserves better than a phone held out at arm’s length. For honeymooners we keep the direction light and the hour slow — a walk, a quiet moment, the two of you doing very little beyond being together — and you leave with the one set of images from this trip you will genuinely print and hang. Our honeymoon photoshoot guide for the Riviera Maya covers outfits and timing.

Couples portraits

No anniversary, no announcement, nothing to celebrate except the first week in a long while that belongs to nobody but the two of you — and a quiet preference for remembering it properly. This is the most relaxed of the three: a slow hour on the sand, gentle direction, and photographs that look like the two of you rather than a pose. Our couples photoshoot guide covers what to wear and when to meet.

The Beach We Take Rosewood Couples To

The Mayakoba complex sits behind its gate roughly 9 kilometres north of downtown Playa del Carmen, and we keep you out of the drive into town entirely — the sessions we shoot for couples here happen at Playa Xcalacoco, the free public beach right beside the complex. There is nothing to book and nothing that can cancel your morning; we send the exact pin over WhatsApp the day before, and for a couple we can arrange to collect you.

That stretch of coast earns its place for one reason above the rest: it is quiet. Xcalacoco carries a Blue Flag and stays calm and uncrowded in the early hour, and Punta Esmeralda — a little further along the same public shore — is the quieter alternative still, for couples who want almost nobody else in the frame. Either way the sand is effectively yours while the light is soft, and you are back behind the gate before the day has properly started.

Want one frame that belongs on a wall rather than in an album? Ask about our flying dress photoshoot at Rosewood Mayakoba — metres of fabric in the morning breeze, made for a trip like this one.

Getting married at Rosewood Mayakoba itself? Our wedding photography guide for the resort covers vendor fees, timing, and coordinating with the resort's wedding team.

Simple Pricing, No Session Fee

Pricing is refreshingly simple: there is no session fee. You pay $15 USD per photo with a 10-photo minimum ($150 USD), or choose a photo package from $200 USD if you would rather have the fuller gallery — so you only ever pay for the images you love. You can see everything we offer, and hundreds of recent sessions, on our Playa del Carmen photographer page.

Every hotel has its own rules about photography on the property. We know how each one works — message us and we’ll tell you exactly what your options are where you’re staying.

Almost nobody who books us has been photographed properly before, and there is nothing to apologise for — we direct the whole thing, and you can see how that turns out on our Playa del Carmen photographer page. Send us your dates and we will tell you which morning to keep free.
