Experience an Authentic Cancun Photo Session with Drone Shots

If you’re planning a trip to Cancun and want more than just snapshots on your phone, this private photo session offers a fantastic way to immortalize your time in paradise. For $450 per group (up to four people), you’ll enjoy about 1 hour and 20 minutes of professional photography, including aerial drone images—all tailored to your preferred location. The tour is organized by Stanislav Nemashkalo, who combines a keen eye for the best angles with local knowledge, making sure you get striking shots that truly reflect Cancun’s beauty.
What makes this experience stand out? First, the personalized approach means you get to choose between two gorgeous locations—either the peaceful Playa Caracol with its crystal-clear waters and wooden piers, or a colorful route through Cancun’s vibrant Hotel Zone, ending at the picturesque Playa Forum. Second, the combination of land and drone photography offers a creative mix of standard beach shots and spectacular bird’s-eye views, elevating your photos from standard to museum-quality souvenirs.
A slight consideration is that, at $450, this experience isn’t the cheapest option out there, but when you factor in the professional editing, fast turnaround, and the ability to capture both land and aerial images, it offers significant value—especially for those eager to have authentic, high-quality Cancun memories. This tour suits couples celebrating a honeymoon, families on vacation, or friends looking to mark their trip with memorable photos. If you want a private, flexible, and fun photo adventure, this is worth considering.

A Balanced Look at the Private Cancun Photo Session

When we think about capturing our travel memories, opting for a professional photo session can transform fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes. This private photo tour in Cancun offers a compelling package that combines natural beauty, professional skill, and the thrill of drone photography—all within a manageable, one-time outing.
Location Choices and Why They Matter
One of the biggest draws here is the freedom to choose between Playa Caracol or the colorful tour through Cancun’s Hotel Zone.
Playa Caracol is a straightforward, nearby beach with invitingly clear waters and charming wooden piers. It’s perfect if you want a relaxed, straightforward beach backdrop that highlights Cancun’s most iconic feature—its shimmering shoreline. We loved how accessible it is, just a three-minute walk from the meeting point, making it ideal for a quick, stress-free session.
The alternative route involves a 20-minute walk through Cancun’s vibrant Hotel Zone, stopping at authentic Mexican spots along the way. This adds a bit of local flavor and colorful scenery before heading to Playa Forum, a more scenic and expansive beach with dramatic landscapes perfect for wide-angle shots. For those who appreciate a little local flavor and colorful backdrops, this option offers a richer storytelling canvas.
The Shooting Experience
The session is broken down into two parts: the land photos and the drone shots. After an hour of capturing moments on the ground—think playful, romantic, or family-focused poses—the drone comes out for about 20 minutes. This aerial component offers a bird’s-eye view of Cancun’s scenery, providing a stunning new perspective that’s often missing from traditional vacation photos.
From previous reviews, we know that guests appreciated Stanislav’s professionalism and communication. One reviewer said, “Stanislav was already approachable before the shoot and communicated well with us,” which is crucial for creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
What to Expect on the Day
On the day of your shoot, Stanislav will offer two options, and you can choose based on your preferences. Whether you prefer a beach-focused session or a more diverse route through Cancun’s lively neighborhoods, flexibility is built into the experience.
The photos are then professionally edited, meaning you receive 50 high-quality images ready to share or print. The fast turnaround within three days ensures you won’t have to wait long to relive the moment or share your Cancun adventures.

One reviewer lauded the value: “We had so much fun, and the photos impressed us,” highlighting that the experience is both enjoyable and rewarding. It’s clear that many guests find this provides excellent value, especially considering the quality and uniqueness of the images.

Booking about a month in advance (27 days on average) is recommended, ensuring you secure your preferred date. The activity is private, only your group participates, which fosters a relaxed environment—ideal for candid, natural shots.
The meeting point is conveniently located at Súper Chedraui Selecto in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, accessible by public transportation. The activity is suitable for most travelers, and service animals are allowed—making it inclusive for all.
