The experience

You book a time and a package, then meet your photographer at your chosen location in Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta. The photographer handles the technical work (framing, lighting, posing), while you focus on being present with the people you came with. Whether it's a family portrait, an engagement shoot, a honeymoon session or a vacation memory, the photographer knows the best spots and how to use them. A 30-minute to one-hour session gives enough time to move through a few locations and capture moments that feel natural instead of rushed.

You walk away with professional-quality images instead of the phone photos you would have taken yourself. The photographer's years of experience means the shots are composed and lit in ways that make the place and the people in it look their best. All fees and taxes are already included in the price, so there are no surprises at checkout.

What’s included

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and Italian.

Can I choose where in Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta the photos happen?

Yes. You select from three package options (Session in the center of Vallarta, Classic Package, or Premium package) each with its own locations and scope. The photographer knows the best backdrops in each zone and will guide you to spots that work for the light and the time of day.

How long does a photo session take?

Sessions run between 30 minutes and one hour, which gives time to capture multiple moments and move to a few different spots without the day feeling like it's all about posing.

What kind of photos can I get? Just portraits, or other moments too?

The photographer works with you on vacation, honeymoon, family, engagement or wedding shots. The session is built around what matters to you: candid moments, posed portraits, or a mix of both.

Are there any restrictions on who can be in the photos?

No. Infants and small children can be included. They can ride in a pram or stroller if needed. Service animals are welcome. The session is suitable for all physical fitness levels.
