Why choose drone photo & video in Todos Santos?
A Pueblo Mágico on the Pacific 76.4 km north of Cabo San Lucas, where the sun sets over open ocean and a beach event permit without alcohol costs MXN 1,374.52. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Todos Santos and works across Baja California Sur all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Centro Histórico de Todos Santos, the window to aim for is late afternoon, when the plaza and the brick façades go warm. The session runs 60 min and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in Todos Santos look like?
The typical session runs 60 min across two locations: we start at Centro Histórico de Todos Santos and move on to Playa La Cachora. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the move between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.
