A Couples Photoshoot at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Spots, Times and Prices

Here is how we plan a photoshoot at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, from the first frame to the last light on the sand.

The Session at a Glance

• ResortAn adults-only resort between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen
• Beach facesEast, onto the open Caribbean

Where We Shoot

The water's edge. Away from the pools and loungers, with only sea and sky behind you.

Gardens and terraces. Shade and green frames when the sun is high.

Sunrise or Sunset

Times for this beach on the 15th of each month in 2027.

The beach faces east: sunrise lifts out of the sea, and the hour before sunset is soft and even.

How the Photographer Gets In

If you are staying at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, the photographer comes in as your invited guest: give the front desk our name and the session time a day or two ahead, and we check in at the lobby. For a private session, a staying guest is very seldom asked for the outside vendor fee that resorts charge for weddings, but policies change, so we confirm it with the resort in writing before your date. If you are staying elsewhere, expect a day pass for the photographer. Our guide to bringing an outside photographer to a resort covers both cases.
