How Much Is a Photographer in the Cancun Hotel Zone?

In short

With IVAE Studios, sessions in the Hotel Zone cost 295 to 895 USD and weddings start at 1,800 USD. Some studios charge per photo, so compare how many edited photos you actually receive, and ask about any resort charge.

Prices vary widely here, and they are not always easy to compare. Some studios charge by the hour, some per photo and some only quote after an email. Here are ours, and what to watch for.

Our Prices

Every collection includes editing and a private 4K gallery, delivered in one to three business days.

Comparing Fairly

Per-photo pricing. Some studios shoot first, then sell photos individually. It looks cheap until you want more than a few. Ask for the total for 35 edited photos.

Resort studios. Convenient, but check what is included. Our guide to resort and outside photographers compares them.

Delivery. Waiting weeks has a cost too, since the trip stops feeling recent.

Weddings

What does it cost? Half-day coverage, up to four hours, is 1,800 to 2,800 USD. The full day, eight to ten hours with two photographers, is 3,500 to 5,500 USD, the right choice for larger weddings. With a wedding film added, 5,500 to 8,000 USD. We deliver every wedding gallery within one to three business days, not the weeks or months that are common elsewhere.
