Why choose engagement photos in Puerto Vallarta?

An engagement session in Puerto Vallarta is either a town session or a beach session. The cobbled streets of the Zona Romántica, the footbridges of the Isla del Río Cuale and the arches of the Malecón give variety within a few minutes’ walk, and the beach at Los Muertos or the coves at Conchas Chinas give the sunset. Thirty minutes covers one of the two, a longer session covering both is quoted in writing before booking, and either way the result looks like Mexico rather than any beach anywhere, which is the point for couples planning a wedding elsewhere.

Worth knowing about Puerto Vallarta

In the first twelve days of December, downtown Puerto Vallarta hosts the Fiestas Guadalupanas, with about 400 processions ending at the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, and the Peregrinación de los Favorecidos on 12 December draws up to 20,000 people. An engagement session in that window is held in the morning, or moved south to Conchas Chinas for the evening.

FAQ — Engagement photos in Puerto Vallarta

Is December a good month for engagement photos in Puerto Vallarta?

December is dry and clear in Puerto Vallarta, but the Fiestas Guadalupanas fill downtown with processions from 1 to 12 December. An engagement session during the festival is held in the morning or on the south-shore coves, and the procession itself can be photographed as a backdrop by couples who want it.

Where are engagement sessions in Puerto Vallarta usually held?

A 30-minute Puerto Vallarta engagement session is held either in the Zona Romántica or on the Isla del Río Cuale, where the shade suits the hour before sunset, or on the beach at Los Muertos or Conchas Chinas for the sunset itself. Town and beach are within walking distance, so a longer session covering both needs no car.
