The Playa Mujeres community has an inland marina and a Greg Norman golf course. They give a different look from the beach: boats, fairways and mangrove edges. Ask your resort first, and go in the last hour of light.
Nearly everyone takes their photos on the sand here. If you want a gallery that looks a little different, look inland. Boats and greens photograph well, and they are often empty at the end of the day.
The Marina
Docks and masts give strong lines for a couple, with calm water and reflections in the last light. Ask your concierge about access, since the marina is private and we need permission to go on the docks.
The Course
The Greg Norman course runs near Excellence Playa Mujeres and Secrets Playa Mujeres, with mangrove edges on the land side. Ask the club first, go when play has thinned out and keep off the greens.
Costa Mujeres, Through Our Lens
Real IVAE Studios work on this coast, so you can see how this light and water look on camera. It shows our work in the area, not necessarily at Costa Mujeres.

From First Message to Gallery
Booking takes a few messages. Tell us your dates, your hotel and who is coming. We come back with the best hour that week at Costa Mujeres, a place to start and the collection that fits, usually the same day. During the session we direct you in English or Spanish, and you keep moving, which is why the photos feel natural. One to three business days later, your private gallery is ready.
