Secrets Silversands is adults-only on a calm, reef-protected beach between Cancún and Puerto Morelos. For couples, the hour before sunset at the water's edge is ideal. Sessions start at 245 USD.
Calm water and an adults-only beach are the two ingredients of a relaxed couples session, and Secrets Silversands has both. Here is how we plan it.

Where We Shoot
The shoreline. Calm water behind the reef lets you walk into the sea without waves.
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.

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
How does the photographer get in? As your guest. Tell the Secrets Silversands front desk our name and the time of the session in advance, and we check in at the lobby like anyone meeting you for dinner. A short private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged the outside vendor fee used for weddings, and we confirm the current policy with the resort in writing. Non-guests should plan for a day pass, as our access guide explains.
