Sayulita Photographer
Weddings & Portraits
Sayulita's painted streets, surf-worn beaches, and golden evening light make it one of the most beautiful places in Mexico to photograph a couple or a family. I travel there regularly from Puerto Vallarta — no travel fee, no compromise on quality.
Why couples choose Sayulita for their session
Forty minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita moves at a different pace. It's bohemian, colorful, and unpretentious — and that spirit shows up in the photos. The main beach curves gently toward town, the streets are lined with murals and bougainvillea, and the light in late afternoon is extraordinary.
It's a popular destination for intimate weddings at private villas, beachfront elopements, and engagement sessions for couples who want something with more soul than a resort backdrop. I know the town well — which beach spots give you privacy at sunset, which streets turn golden at 5pm, and where to find the quiet moments most photographers miss.
Best photography locations in Sayulita
Sayulita Beach
The main beach faces west, which means spectacular sunset light. The wave-worn rocks at the south end of the beach create a dramatic natural backdrop few locations can match.
Town & Painted Streets
The streets around Sayulita's central plaza are lined with murals, tropical flowers, and color everywhere. Great for an editorial, relaxed, street-style portrait feel.
Private Villas
Many of Sayulita's most beautiful weddings happen at private hilltop villas with jungle gardens and Pacific views. Intimate, exclusive, and visually stunning.
Nearby Beaches
Playa Los Muertos, Playa Carricitos, and the beaches toward San Pancho are wilder and less crowded — perfect for couples who want solitude and open skies.
