Why choose honeymoon photography in Puerto Vallarta?
Honeymooners in Puerto Vallarta are usually a week into the trip by the time they book, with a tan and a list of things they still want to do. A honeymoon session fits around that list: 30 minutes in the Zona Romántica or on a south-shore beach, or portraits before a day on the water. The Islas Marietas are the excursion most couples ask about, and the trip from Puerto Vallarta shapes the rest of that day.
Worth knowing about Puerto Vallarta
CONANP lists the Islas Marietas at 18 nautical miles from Puerto Vallarta but 4.85 from Punta de Mita, so a Marietas day from a Vallarta hotel is mostly boat. The park opens Tuesday to Sunday and Playa del Amor only Wednesday to Sunday. A honeymoon session is booked for the day before or after, because a professional shoot inside the park would need CONANP authorisation.
What does the session in Puerto Vallarta look like?

FAQ — Honeymoon photography in Puerto Vallarta
Can our honeymoon photos be taken at the Islas Marietas from Puerto Vallarta?
A professional shoot inside Parque Nacional Islas Marietas would need CONANP authorisation, so Puerto Vallarta honeymoon sessions are planned on the mainland instead. The park charges MXN 125 per person per day, opens Tuesday to Sunday, and lies 18 nautical miles from Puerto Vallarta by boat.
When is the best time for a honeymoon session in Puerto Vallarta?
A Puerto Vallarta honeymoon session works best in the last hour before sunset, from November to May, when the air is dry and the sun sets over the bay. In summer the session moves to the morning, because afternoon storms are common in the rainy season.
