Michelle & James

Engagement Photoshoot at Belmond Maroma

Michelle and James chose Belmond Maroma for their engagement photoshoot as a way to experience the place with calm. For couples planning a wedding in the Riviera Maya, this type of session becomes a meaningful first step.

We started the session inside the hotel and continued at the upper viewpoint. The architecture, the open sky, and the white textures created a visual language similar to Santorini.

These first images were relaxed and intimate. The goal was not performance but presence. This moment helped Michelle and James feel comfortable in front of the camera and settle into the rhythm of the session.

Why Engagement Sessions Matter

Engagement photoshoots create an opportunity to build trust between the couple and their wedding photographer. Spending time together before the wedding allows me to understand how the couple connects and how they respond to guidance.

For Michelle and James, this session made the camera feel familiar. That familiarity carries into the wedding day and allows moments to unfold with clarity.

A Change of Look and a Different Energy

After the first part of the session, Michelle and James changed into a more formal outfit. This transition marked a shift in mood. We moved to Bambuco by Handshake one of the most recognized bars at Belmond Maroma, a space known for its atmosphere and social energy.

They ordered drinks and spent time together without interruption. The photographs from this part of the session reflect elegance and ease. The environment supported a refined engagement photography style that works well for couples drawn to destination weddings in quiet luxury resorts.
