Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún is a 444-suite resort near Puerto Morelos, about 20 minutes from Cancún airport, with a rooftop wedding deck and roof garden. 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 Iberostar Selection 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
Access is simple for guests of Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún. Put the photographer's name on your reservation at the front desk with the time of the session, and we meet you in the lobby. Resorts usually reserve their outside vendor fee for weddings, so a private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged, though we always confirm the current rule in writing first. Visitors who are not staying at the resort normally need a day pass; this guide explains how it works.
