In short
Wedding videography in Tulum starts at $2,000: 8 hours on location with a photographer who works in Tulum, and a 6–8 minute edited film delivered to a private gallery within 8 weeks.
Why choose wedding videography in Tulum?
Filming a Tulum wedding is a sound problem before it is a picture problem. Beach ceremonies here face the open Caribbean, and the onshore breeze that keeps guests cool also runs straight across every microphone. Vows are recorded on lavalier microphones on the couple and the officiant, with a backup recorder, because a camera microphone on a beach records surf and wind. The light helps the film: the sun sets behind the jungle, so the ceremony is lit from the side without anyone squinting.
Worth knowing about Tulum
INAH's 2026 fee for filming inside an archaeological zone is MXN 15,916 per day, twice the photography fee, and the permit is requested at least 10 business days ahead. For a Tulum wedding film that wants the ruins, the usual answer is a short pre-wedding clip on a separate permitted day rather than a crew at the site on the wedding day.

FAQ — Wedding videography in Tulum
Can our Tulum wedding video include the ruins?
Yes, with an INAH filming permit. Video with professional equipment inside the Zona Arqueológica de Tulum needs trámite INAH-01-001, at MXN 15,916 per day in 2026, requested at least 10 business days ahead, within opening hours of 8:00 to 17:00. Most couples film the ruins on a separate day, not the wedding day.
How is wind handled when filming a Tulum beach wedding?
