Sargassum in Cancun and Riviera Maya: Your Photos Still Get the Blue Sea


You dreamed of turquoise water. Then you read about sargassum.
Take a breath. Your photos are still on.
Sargassum comes and goes. It changes from one day to the next, and from one beach to the next.
So we check the beach that morning, choose the cleanest corner, and let the light do the rest.
And even if you find it hard to believe in magic: we edit the sargassum out of your photos and, if you prefer, we bring back the blue sea.

Sargassum and your photos: quick answers
Should I cancel my photo session if there is sargassum?
No. Between the spot we choose, the angle and the editing, your gallery will not be about the seaweed.
Can you really remove sargassum from the photos?
Yes. We edit it out of your final images and, if you like, we bring back the blue color of the sea.
When is sargassum season in Cancun and Riviera Maya?
It tends to show up more in the warmer months, but it changes every year and even every week.
Which beaches have less sargassum?
It depends on the day, the wind and the current. That is why we check the beach the same morning of your session.
What if my resort's beach is covered that day?
We move a few steps, change the angle, or use the palms, gardens and pool around you. There is always a beautiful corner.
Planning a photo session in Cancun or Riviera Maya?
You came for the Caribbean you imagined. That is the one you will take home.
As a photographer in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Riviera Maya, I plan every session around your resort, the light and the sea that day.
