Secrets Puerto Los Cabos is an adults-only all-inclusive in Puerto Los Cabos, east of San José del Cabo. Wedding sites list an oceanfront gazebo for about 150 guests, Oceana Garden for about 100, a ballroom for about 300 and smaller beach ceremonies. The beach is for sunbathing, not swimming. Wedding coverage starts at 1,800 USD.
Secrets Puerto Los Cabos sits in the quieter, newer part of San José del Cabo, away from the Corridor's traffic, which suits couples who want an all-inclusive wedding with a calmer feel. The gazebo by the sea is the photograph most of them come for.

Wedding Venues
The oceanfront gazebo is the classic ceremony setting, listed for about 150 guests, with Oceana Garden for open-air receptions and cocktail hours, the ballroom for larger dinners and wind backups, and the beach for smaller ceremonies. Confirm capacities and venue fees with the resort.
Portraits
After a gazebo ceremony we photograph family groups right there, then take the couple to the sand for the last light. The Sea of Cortez faces south-east here, so the sun sets inland: the soft side light of the final hour is what makes the portraits.
Light and Times
Times for Puerto Los Cabos on the 15th of each month in 2027. Baja California Sur keeps Pacific time all year (UTC-7, no daylight saving), the same as Alberta in winter.
| Month | Sunrise | Golden | Sunset |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 7:02 am | 5:22 pm | 5:54 pm |
| March | 6:28 am | 5:58 pm | 6:28 pm |
| May | 5:38 am | 6:21 pm | 6:53 pm |

| December | 6:52 am | 5:02 pm | 5:36 pm |
A good rule here: start the ceremony about 90 minutes before sunset, and keep the final half hour of daylight for portraits. That is around 4:05 pm in December and 5:35 pm in June; for a session we meet about an hour before sunset, around 4:35 pm in December and 6:05 pm in June.
Outside Photographers
One budget line couples often miss: Secrets Puerto Los Cabos, like nearly every all-inclusive resort here, charges outside wedding vendors for access to the property. It may be a fixed vendor fee or a per-person day pass, and it changes with the season and the package tier. Ask for it in writing while your contract is still open, and ask whether a second photographer counts separately. Our comparison of resort and outside photographers helps you weigh it.
Los Cabos, Through Our Lens
Real IVAE Studios sessions and weddings in Los Cabos. They show our work on the peninsula, not necessarily at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos.
Coverage and Prices
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.
We are based in Cancún and travel to Los Cabos for weddings; travel is arranged as part of the coverage, and we arrive with time to scout. Sessions before or after the wedding, such as a welcome-dinner portrait or a day-after shoot, use our collections from 245 USD.
