2. Book your session — Easy online booking allows you to secure your preferred date at least 14 days in advance, though last-minute slots might also be available.
3. Confirm details via email — You receive your itinerary and instructions, ensuring you’re prepared for your shoot.
4. The photoshoot itself — The actual session can last between 1 to 4 hours, depending on your choice. Each package includes a set number of final, edited images.
5. Receive your photos — Within two weeks, you’ll get a private online gallery with your images, ready to download and share.
What to Expect During Your Photoshoot
The experience is tailored to meet your style and preferences. The photographer, Agustin, who received praise for his friendly and creative approach, will help you find the best angles and poses, with fun ideas especially for families and kids. The scenery of Puerto Vallarta offers plenty of opportunities for stunning shots — from colorful streets to lush backgrounds.
For those opting for longer sessions, the variety of locations becomes a major plus. The 2-hour package, the most popular choice, covers 1-2 spots, perfect for capturing a range of scenes without feeling rushed. The 3-hour option is well-suited for larger groups or those wanting more detailed shots, while the 4-hour package offers a comprehensive experience with multiple locations and outfit changes.
Location and Accessibility
The meeting point is in Perico, Zona Hotelera Nte., an area close to many scenic spots. Since transportation isn’t included, you’ll need to arrange your own transport to the shooting locations. This isn’t necessarily a drawback—many travelers enjoy exploring on foot or via Uber, especially since Puerto Vallarta’s streets are colorful and photogenic.
The Quality of Photos and Delivery
The packages promise a considerable number of images: 20 for the 1-hour shoot, up to 50 for the 4-hour session. The photos are professionally edited, ensuring vibrant colors and flattering compositions. One reviewer specifically noted that Agustin “made the time enjoyable” and had “fun ideas for the kids.” Although traffic caused a slight delay for that guest, it highlights that busy schedules and city life can affect the timing but not the overall quality.
