The Experience in Detail

Booking and Preparation

The journey begins with a quick email exchange, where you’ll receive a curated list of potential photo spots around Tulum. It’s a smart move, as it allows you to pick locations that resonate with your style—whether it’s the iconic shoreline of Paradise Beach, the ancient Mayan ruins overlooking the ocean at Casa del Cenote, or the vibrant streets of Tulum Centro.

Along with location suggestions, you’ll get a mood board and outfit tips, helping you plan your wardrobe for maximum impact. The photographer, Alexei Zi, provides guidance on props and styling, which can really elevate your photos beyond simple poses. Expect to be encouraged to bring out your authentic self, with plenty of tips to help you feel relaxed and photogenic.

Meeting and Shooting

The meeting spot is set at Tulum Beach, a natural choice given its scenic beauty and accessibility. The shoot lasts roughly two hours, but can extend if needed, especially if you’re exploring multiple locations. The flexibility is a big plus—if you want to incorporate a walk along the shoreline or hop between spots, it’s all possible.

During the session, Alexei offers professional guidance on posing, helping you look confident and natural. We loved the way he balances direction with freedom, encouraging genuine expressions rather than stiff poses. For those feeling shy or unsure, his friendly approach really helps ease nerves.

The session is an intimate affair—just your group—making it easier to relax and enjoy the moment. Expect a mix of candid shots and more posed images, capturing different moods and settings. If you choose to shoot at a cenote or other natural spot, the combination of natural light and stunning scenery truly makes for memorable images.

Post-Processing and Delivery

Within a day, you’ll receive a download link via WeTransfer containing 25 high-quality, professionally edited photos. The editing process enhances colors, sharpness, and overall visual appeal, ensuring your images look polished without losing authenticity.

Reviews from past clients mention the speed and quality of delivery—“Within 24 hours, I had beautiful photos to share with friends and family,” one traveler noted. Others appreciated the personalized approach, feeling that the pictures truly captured their personality and the beauty of Tulum.

Cost vs. Value

At $350 for a private photoshoot for up to two people, this experience offers a significant value for those seeking high-quality, professional images. You’re paying for more than just photos—you’re investing in a personalized moment with guidance from an experienced photographer. The inclusion of 25 edited images delivered quickly makes this a practical choice for travelers wanting tangible, lasting memories.

What Makes This Unique?

Unlike typical sightseeing tours, this experience is about self-expression and quality over quantity. You’re not just snapping quick shots with a smartphone—you’re working with a professional who helps you pose naturally, captures flattering angles, and creates images you can cherish forever.

If you’re celebrating a milestone, honeymoon, or simply want to remember your trip beautifully, this private shoot adds a layer of intentionality and professionalism you might not get on your own.

Why This Photoshoot Works Well

For travelers who enjoy personalized experiences, this is a delightful way to combine sightseeing with portraiture. Whether you’re a couple wanting romantic images, a solo traveler eager for standout photos, or a family wanting relaxed, high-quality memories, it offers a flexible, tailored approach.

The choice of locations adds an extra layer of appeal. Imagine strolling along Paradise Beach, capturing the golden hour by the shoreline, or exploring hidden spots like a cenote—each setting provides a different aesthetic, from lush greenery to dramatic ocean views.

The expert guidance makes all the difference if you’re not used to posing or feeling camera-shy. The photographer’s background as both a model and photographer gives him a nuanced understanding of how to make you look your best while keeping the session fun and natural.

What Could Be Improved?

One thing to consider is that transportation isn’t included. If your hotel is a bit out of the way, you might need to arrange your own ride. Also, since it’s a private shoot, the price might seem steep compared to casual photos, but the quality and professionalism justify the premium.

Weather can also impact the experience—poor weather may lead to rescheduling or cancellations, though the policy offers clear options for refunds or alternative dates.
