At Excellence Riviera Cancún, the end of the pier in the last half hour of light is the place to propose: open sea around you and nobody behind you. Coverage starts at 245 USD.
Few proposal settings beat the end of a pier at sunset. Here is our plan for Excellence Riviera Cancún.

- ResortAdults-only, Excellence Collection, near Puerto Morelos
- Ceremony sitesStone gazebo, beach gazebo and a pier
- ReceptionsGaribaldi Square, Agave, Las Olas, the beach, a ballroom, X-Lounge

Where to Ask
The end of the pier. Open sea on three sides; the photographer waits on the beach with a long lens.
The stone gazebo. A sheltered alternative on a windy evening.
The Right Minute
We plan the question for about 25 minutes before sunset, which leaves the best light for photos afterwards. Times on the 15th of each month in 2027:

Couples We Have Photographed, Through Our Lens
Real IVAE Studios couples sessions on the Cancún coast. They show our work in the area, not necessarily at Excellence Riviera Cancún.
Hiding the Photographer and After the Yes
Our photographer arrives early, checks in as your guest and waits 20 to 40 metres from the spot with a long lens, looking like any other guest. We agree three signals: a message when you leave your room, a marker where you stop, and the moment you turn your partner around. You never need to look for us. For a staying guest, a short private session is very seldom charged the outside vendor fee used for weddings, and we confirm the current policy with the resort in writing.
After the yes we take 20 to 40 minutes of portraits while the light lasts. Proposal coverage uses our session collections: Spark, 245 USD for 35 minutes and 15 photos; Glow Hour, 325 USD for 45 minutes and 25 photos; and Essential Flow, 395 USD for 60 minutes and 35 photos. The gallery arrives in one to three business days. More on our surprise proposal photographer page.
