Photographer for Riviera Maya and Tulum projects
Villa, boutique hotel, wedding, real estate and brand photography and video in Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Akumal and the Riviera Maya.
The Riviera Maya is home to boutique hotels, jungle villas, beach clubs and some of Mexico’s most sought-after wedding venues. We travel from Mérida for planned shoots in Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos, Akumal and Tulum, with the same planning, crew and editing standards as our Yucatán work.
Jungle shade, harsh midday sun and humidity all affect a shoot, so we plan timing carefully and protect gear against condensation.
