Planning a memorable trip to Tulum? For just $120 per person, you can enjoy a private professional photoshoot that captures your time in the Riviera Maya with high-quality images taken by an experienced photographer. With options ranging from a beach session to a location shoot at your resort or private beach, this experience offers tailored photos that stand out from typical tourist snapshots.
We really appreciate the emphasis on quality and customization—the photographer uses a medium-format camera along with professional lighting, ensuring that your photos will be sharp, vibrant, and detailed. Another big plus? You receive 20 edited images with retouching and color balancing, all delivered within five working days, making this a straightforward way to turn your trip into a lifetime keepsake.
One possible consideration is the cost for additional images or extra hours. If you’re looking for a quick, inexpensive shoot, this might seem a little on the higher side, but given the professional quality and personalized service, many will find it worthwhile.

Meeting and Locations
Your meeting point varies depending on your chosen option. The two main options are a beach shoot (1 hour) or a location & private beach session (2 hours).
- The beach option takes place at a beautiful shabby chic beach club, where you’ll get to pose against iconic Tulum backdrops—think soft sands, turquoise waters, and sky-high palm trees. The photographer’s skill with natural light ensures each shot pops.
- The location & private beach option offers the flexibility to shoot anywhere you like, whether that’s your resort, a favorite local spot, or a secluded stretch of sand. The photographer will bring professional equipment to set up the scene, even in a more remote setting.
The Experience Itself
Expect to be guided through poses, but also encouraged to relax and be yourself. The photographer is skilled at capturing genuine moments, not just staged poses.
Travelers have noted that the clothes and accessories can add character to photos; preparing solid colors or coordinated outfits in advance helps create a more cohesive look. Changing outfits during the shoot is possible, which means you can get variety in your shots—an element many find adds value to the experience.
Weather & Practicalities
Since outdoor photography depends heavily on favorable weather, the photographer will reschedule or provide a refund if conditions aren’t suitable, which adds a layer of security for your booking. Bring essentials like a hat, biodegradable sunscreen, and a change of clothes to stay comfortable and protect your skin.

Why This Photoshoot Stands Out

What makes this experience special is the professional quality and personalized approach. The use of a medium-format camera and professional lighting equipment means your photos will be sharp and vibrant, unlike typical tourist snapshots. It’s clear that the photographer’s background in fashion and advertising lends a polished, high-end feel to every shot.
We also love how flexible and customizable this shoot can be. Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, a honeymoon, or just want fantastic vacation photos, you can tailor the session to fit your needs. The option to shoot at your resort or private beach gives you control over your surroundings and ensures the photos truly reflect your experience.
Authenticity and Value
Given the quality of the images and the professional equipment used, the price of $120 per person offers great value—especially when considering the cost of hiring a photographer in many destinations. For most travelers, the images will serve as enduring memories and are worth the investment.
Considerations
The main consideration is transportation—it’s not included and will need to be arranged by you. Also, if you’re looking for a very quick or inexpensive shoot, this might not be the best fit, but for those seeking professional quality and a personalized touch, it’s a compelling option.
Who Is This Tour Best For?

This photoshoot is perfect for couples wanting engagement or honeymoon photos, families seeking memorable keepsakes, or influencers needing high-quality content. It’s also ideal for those celebrating a special occasion or simply wanting to step up their vacation photos beyond basic selfies.
If you’re comfortable with a short, outdoor session and appreciate professional equipment and editing, you’ll enjoy this experience. It’s particularly suited for travelers who value quality, customization, and stunning scenery as the backdrop for their photos.
In-Depth Breakdown of the Experience
The Location Choices: The beach sessions are ideal for those wanting classic Tulum scenery—soft sands, clear waters, and swaying palms. The beach club, described as shabby chic, offers a relaxed yet chic setting, perfect for capturing that laid-back Caribbean vibe.
Customization and Flexibility: You can choose to do a one-hour beach shoot or a two-hour session at your preferred location. This flexibility means you can tailor your experience based on how much time you want to dedicate to photos, or how many different looks you wish to create.
Photographer’s Style and Approach: With a background in fashion and advertising, the photographer is well-versed in flattering lighting, posing, and capturing moments that look natural yet polished. His experience with international magazines means you’re in expert hands, especially if you’re looking for images that stand out on social media or for personal keepsakes.
Photo Processing: The 20 images are not just taken and handed over; they’re carefully edited, retouched, and color-balanced to ensure they look professional. The turnaround of five days is quick but sufficient to give the photos a polished finish.
The Extras: Want more photos or extra hours? You can request additional images or extend your shoot, though at an extra fee. This flexibility is helpful for those who want a broader catalog of images or more extensive coverage.
Weather and Cancellations: Outdoor shoots are weather-dependent, but the photographer offers the practicality of rescheduling or full refunds if conditions are adverse—an important reassurance for your planning.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?
For travelers who prioritize quality over quantity and want images that truly capture their experience in Tulum, this private photoshoot offers remarkable value. It’s more than just a quick snapshot; it’s a professionally crafted session designed to produce artful, lasting memories. The fact that you can customize locations and request additional services makes it adaptable to various needs.
While the cost might seem steep compared to casual selfies, the professional equipment, experienced photographer, and high-quality editing ensure that your photos will be worth every penny—especially if you’re looking to remember your trip with images that are both beautiful and authentic.
If you’re someone who appreciates stunning scenery and polished images and wants to avoid cheesy tourist photos, this experience is a smart investment in your memories.
