Cabo Photographer for Couples, Proposals and Honeymoons

Not every session in Cabo is a wedding.

A guide for couples

A Cabo photographer for couples sessions, proposals and honeymoon portraits.

If you are looking for a Cabo photographer for something other than a wedding day, this is the page. Couples sessions, proposals, honeymoon and anniversary portraits: the same editorial, candid approach I bring to weddings, applied to an hour or two with the two of you and the coast.

I am a Cabo San Lucas photographer based in the city, and I photograph couples from Land's End and the marina to the historic district of San José del Cabo and the open beaches of the East Cape. Punta Lobos, where Janae and Wolf's session below was photographed, is one of the places I return to most.

Most couples who book a photographer in Cabo for a session are here on vacation, planning a proposal, or back for an anniversary. The session is built around where you are staying, the light at that time of day, and what you want the photographs to feel like.

Key things to know

What a couples session in Cabo looks like

01

Couples sessions

A relaxed session for two, on the beach, in town or in the desert, photographed the way I photograph a wedding: candid first, directed only when it helps.

02

Proposals

Discreet coverage of the moment itself, planned with you in advance so the location, the timing and the light are already decided when you arrive.

03

Honeymoon and anniversary portraits

For couples already married, in Cabo for the honeymoon or back years later. A session that reads as editorial, not as a souvenir snapshot.

04

Where we photograph

Punta Lobos, the beaches around Land's End, the Cabo San Lucas marina, the historic district of San José del Cabo and the East Cape.

More about couples session photography

A Cabo San Lucas photographer for the days around your wedding.

Many couples who hire a Cabo photographer for a session are also planning a wedding here, or already had one. A session the day before gives you portraits without the schedule of the wedding day pressing on them; a session the morning after gives you the two of you, rested, on an empty beach.

For couples who are not getting married at all, the session stands on its own. The work is the same: honest moments, editorial frames, light that is chosen rather than accepted. If you want to see how that looks at a wedding, the Cabo wedding photographer portfolio is on the home page; the engagement page shows save-the-date sessions in the same style.

For couples planning their couples session in Cabo

Practical notes for your day.

  • The strongest light on the Pacific side is the hour before sunset; on the Sea of Cortez side, early morning.
  • Proposals are photographed from a distance first, then as a session once the answer is yes.
  • Bring one change of clothes if you want two different looks; the location does the rest.
  • Sessions move at your pace. I direct when it helps and step back when it does not.

Cabo photographer questions

Do you photograph sessions that are not weddings in Cabo?

Yes. Couples sessions, proposals, honeymoon and anniversary portraits are a regular part of the work, in Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo and the East Cape.

Where in Cabo do you photograph couples?

Punta Lobos, the beaches around Land's End, the marina in Cabo San Lucas, the historic district of San José del Cabo and the beaches of the East Cape. The location is chosen with you, based on where you are staying and the light at the time of day.

How do I book a Cabo photographer for a proposal?

Send the date, where you are staying and the kind of place you have in mind. The location, timing and where I will be standing are agreed in advance, so nothing is improvised on the day.

Is a couples session the same as an engagement session?

An engagement session is a couples session for couples who are about to get married, often used for save-the-dates. If that is you, the engagement page has its own portfolio and notes.

Yes. A session before or after the wedding is quoted together with the wedding coverage.

Do you speak English?
