The Yucatan Playa del Carmen Photographer · No Booking Fee, Every Occasion

The Occasions Couples Book From a Hotel This Small

You picked a small adults-only hotel, and that tells us most of what we need to know before you even write: no family lineup, no matching shirts, no toddler setting the schedule. It is two people, almost every time. These are the three sessions we photograph most for couples staying here.

The couples trip

No occasion, nothing to announce — just the first week in a long time that belongs to nobody but the two of you, and a wish to remember it as more than a phone gallery. This is the most relaxed session we do: a slow hour on the sand, gentle direction, and the two of you doing very little beyond being together. Our couples photoshoot guide covers what to wear and when to go.

Anniversaries

The trip is the gift; the photographs are the part that outlives it. Five years or twenty-five, the number changes and the request never does — one unhurried hour, dressed the way you dressed for the dinner you already booked, shot early so the rest of the day stays yours. Our anniversary session guide shows how we pace an hour like that.

The kid-free escape

For a lot of the couples who write to us from here, this is the first trip in years without the kids — and the first chance in just as long to be in a photo as a couple, not as somebody’s parents holding a toddler. We keep it easy and unhurried, and you go home with proof the two of you still exist outside the school run. Our vacation photoshoot guide covers folding a relaxed session into an easy morning.

Walking You Down to Playa Mamitas

From your room the whole logistics plan is a walk, and it is a short one. The Yucatan sits on the Fifth Avenue at Calle 32 Norte, and the public access to Playa Mamitas opens a few blocks south, off Calle 28 Norte — close enough that guests describe the hotel as a block from the beach, which means no taxi to book and nothing that can fail between your alarm and the first frame. We meet you at the beach access, and we send the exact pin over WhatsApp the day before.

The hour is the only thing we ask you to commit to. The beach club at Mamitas opens later in the morning, so while it is still shut the sand in front of you is quiet and effectively yours — and the walk back up the Quinta, past a café that is only just opening, is the easiest possible start to a day you have not spent yet.

Want one frame that belongs on a wall rather than in an album? Ask about our signature beach-gown editorial sessions in Playa del Carmen — metres of fabric in the morning breeze, made for exactly this kind of trip.

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 group package from $200 USD if friends are travelling with you — so you only 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.
