Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancún is a family resort by Karisma near Puerto Morelos, known for its family suites and food. For a session, the hour before sunset at the calm water's edge, or sunrise with young children. Sessions start at 245 USD.
Calm water is the secret of good photos with children and of relaxed couples' sessions, and the reef off Puerto Morelos provides it. Here is how we plan a session at Azul Beach Riviera Cancún.

Where We Shoot
The shoreline. Calm, shallow water behind the reef for playing and walking into the sea.
Puerto Morelos town. Puerto Morelos town, with its famous leaning lighthouse and its pier, is a short drive away and makes a charming second setting.
Cenotes. Inland, the Ruta de los Cenotes starts just west of town, for couples who want a jungle and cenote session the next day.

The reef keeps the water calm, which suits children and in-the-water frames. The hour before sunset gives soft, even light; sunrise lifts straight out of the sea.
How the Photographer Gets In
How does the photographer get in? As your guest. Tell the Azul Beach Riviera Cancún front desk our name and the time of the session in advance, and we check in at the lobby like anyone meeting you for dinner. A short private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged the outside vendor fee used for weddings, and we confirm the current policy with the resort in writing. Non-guests should plan for a day pass, as our access guide explains.
