Hidden Gems and Stunning Views Await on This Idyllic Island




Isla Mujeres is the ideal destination for surprise proposals and wedding anniversaries. Whether on the dramatic cliffs of Punta Sur or the serene shores of Playa Norte, I provide photography services to ensure your special moments are captured beautifully.



For adventurous travelers staying in Costa Mujeres, Isla Mujeres offers the perfect escape just a 30-minute ferry ride away. Save up on high outside vendor fees and day passes at resorts by embarking on a journey to this breathtaking island. With its diverse landscapes, pristine beaches, and endless photography opportunities, Isla Mujeres invites couples and families to create cherished memories in every corner.



The island’s secluded beauty provides a unique opportunity for more intimate experiences. Hidden beaches and lush landscapes, accessible by a golf cart, set the stage for outdoor boudoir sessions that capture your connection naturally and artistically.

Additional Information



  • Event Coverage: I provide photography services for all events on Isla Mujeres, including surprise proposals, engagements, weddings, family reunions, maternity sessions, and outdoor boudoir portraits.
  • Transportation to Isla Mujeres: The Ultramar ferry provides convenient and frequent departures to Isla Mujeres, with a travel time of approximately 30 minutes. Depending on your location, you can board the ferry from the Hotel Zone in Cancun or Puerto Juarez. While ferries have large capacities, long lines are common at both terminals, especially during weekends or holidays. Arrive early to secure your spot and avoid waiting for the next crossing. For schedules, routes, and more details, visit the Ultramar website.
  • Exploring the Island: Renting a golf cart is the best way to explore Isla Mujeres, allowing you to stop at hidden beaches, colorful murals, and other scenic spots. Rental options are available at different price points, which you can check online or upon arrival at the island. Alternatively, local taxi services are available for those who prefer not to drive, offering a convenient way to move between key locations on the island.
  • Essentials for Exploration: Wear light, breathable fabrics such as linen or cotton to stay comfortable during your session. Avoid bold patterns that can distract in photos. Don’t forget sunscreen, water, and mosquito repellent, especially if you plan to visit Punta Sur or other outdoor locations.
  • Payment Options: For your convenience, payment options include Mexican pesos (preferably low denominations), USD bills, or a travel-dedicated credit card that can be activated or deactivated for secure transactions. It’s always a good idea to have some cash on hand, as smaller vendors and attractions may not accept cards.
  • Activities Beyond Photography: Enhance your visit with snorkeling, visiting the Garrafón Natural Reef Park, or enjoying fresh seafood at one of the island’s local restaurants. These activities perfectly complement your photo experience without taking the spotlight off your special moments.
