Family Photographer Tulum

Tulum Family Photographer; Gavin Higgins.

 

You think your family is crazy? You should meet mine! But isn't that the best thing about family? I'm all about those unique moments. Kids want to climb a tree? Let's do it! Funny uncle Bob wants to throw some bunny-ears around? I'm in! Yes, we will do some posed group shots, and we will 100% get some nice individual pictures. I want to get you a range of images that are going to transport you back to this time and its unique characteristics for years to come.

 

Based in Tulum, Mexico, we also cover the entire Riviera Maya (Cancun, Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres) and locations around Mexico and abroad when required as destination family photographers.

 

We love capturing the moments between the moments on your family photoshoots. The cheeky smile, the unhinged belly-laugh, the crazy antics. We want to capture the real raw elements of your unique personalities and present them in a way that enables you to relive these special moments over and over again.

 

When we pose families, we try to make your family photos look natural and candid. We want you to forget the camera is there and just enjoy the moment and let your personalities shine through authentically.

 

We want you to be relaxed and comfortable with us, and we take care to build your confidence and gently guide you where necessary.

 

No two families are alike, and we work hard to make sure we treat your Tulum Family Photoshoot with the utmost attention and respect. 

 

Please connect with us, and let's discuss your unique Tulum Family Photoshoot and how best we can tell your story.

Tulum Family Photographer FAQs.

Great we’re halfway there! I’m so happy that you love my family images. The next steps are to choose or create a package that suits your budget and then to have a chat to see if we are a good fit for each other. 

We have a variety of pre-built family photography packages that cover most family photoshoot budgets and photography needs, but we don’t take a cookie-cutter approach to anything we do for our family photography clients, and so we are happy to discuss your specific photoshoot budget or set of photography needs and to formulate a custom family photography package for you if you desire.

Once you have chosen a  pre-built family package or have a clear idea of your budget and needs, the next step is to connect. We will do a deep dive into the specifics of your project and how we work, and what you can and shouldn’t expect from us as your family photographers. This usually takes around 15 minutes and can be done in person, over the phone, or via a Zoom/Skype/Whatsapp video call.

If we are a good fit, we will send you a family photography booking proposal, and once accepted and the deposit is paid, your Tlum Family Photoshoot will be booked!

We are available as Tulum Family Photographers seven days a week. 

Our favorite times for Tulum Family Photoshoots are late afternoon and early morning because that’s when the light is soft and beautiful. Mornings are usually less windy and locations less crowded so we always try to work then if we can.

We can photograph family in Tulum at any time of day however and we will match up schedules to find a time that works for everyone involved.

In certain cases, we do offer Sunrise Family Photoshoots which really are worth getting up early for in Tulum!

If this is something you require, we can facilitate it, but generally, we work on location for family photography.

For Tulum Family Photoshoots, it will usually be Gavin Higgins and possibly a photography assistant. 

I would prefer that only the people being photographed be there for the photoshoot. I do understand, however, that there will be circumstances where others will need to be in attendance, and in these situations, I ask that they give us space and do not distract you or interfere with the shoot so that I can concentrate on getting you the best images possible. If someone is interfering with my ability to provide the required services, I reserve the right to ask them to leave.

The number of family images you can expect to receive will be stated in your chosen Tulum Family Photography package or your personalized quote. 

Should you wish to purchase additional images after the shoot, that option will be made available to you.

As professional family photographers, every image that we deliver to our clients has been carefully selected and retouched to meet our standards of quality and style. Therefore, our RAW (or not enhanced) digital negatives are generally not available to clients. Of course, there can be exceptions to this when agreed to before the photoshoot and well documented in the contract. In those instances, the client has the option to purchase, for an additional fee, the exclusive copyright for our art.

Have a camera; will travel!

We are based in Tulum, Mexico, but we also photograph families along the entire Riviera Maya ( Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, Cozumel, and Isla Mujeres ).

We are also available to photograph projects anywhere in Mexico and internationally as destination photographers upon request.

Travel, meals, accommodation, and other associated costs will need to be considered when creating your tailor-made wedding quote.

Yes! We know your photoshoot is unique, and we are happy to formulate a family photography package that perfectly fits your needs. 

Once you have a good idea of your budget and your specific needs, you are welcome to contact us, and we will help you bring it all together to create a perfect family package for your photoshoot.

No. Video is a specialized area and you should consider contracting a professional in this area if it is important to you. I can refer you to a few if you wish.

Popular wedding photography locations

There is a reason Tulum has become such a popular destination on the Yucatan Peninsula. It’s the coming together of the history of the nearby Mayan ruins, the energy and creativity of the town, and the stunning landscape of a town where the lush green jungle meets the azure Caribbean sea and powder-white beaches.

Tulum used to be a quiet beach town, but The pull of ancient Mayan energies added to the magic of the natural wonders and historic sites have been attracting spiritually centered tourism for decades. These Days,  Tulum has become a thriving tourism hot spot featuring modern hotels and resorts and all the amenities you could need.

Tulum is located on the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Tulum is around 45 minutes south of Playa del Carmen and 90 minutes south of Cancun by road.

Tulum is famous for turquoise Caribbean waters, white-sand beaches, and world-class snorkeling and diving. Not to mention the food and parties! Your wedding guests will also have a fantastic time because there is so much to explore and do.

 

Cancun is recognized worldwide for its spectacular white sand beaches and its fascinating sea in turquoise blue tones. With unique natural places, Mayan culture, water activities, and adventure. International Cuisine, spectacular golf courses, sophisticated spa facilities, exclusive shopping centers, typical handicraft markets, as well as shows, bars, and nightclubs that give fame to its incomparable nightlife.

Playa Del Carmen used to be a sleepy fishing village but is now a Riviera Maya destination in its own right. Its lively nightlife and boutiques complement local taquerias and chic luxury hotels—all a bit more authentically Mexican than Cancun, just up the coast. During the day, you can head to the beach or take the ferry to Cozumel, and at night, stroll La Quinta (the city’s main pedestrian thoroughfare and center of its nightlife) for some people-watching and excellent margaritas. And that’s not all; fantastic diving and snorkeling are just offshore, while the ancient ruins of Coba tower over the inland jungles nearby.

Isla Mujeres is a beautiful, peaceful paradise island across the Bahia de Mujeres (Bay of Women) from Cancun, Mexico. Isla Mujeres is a more laid-back and tranquil location than Cancun, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to do! You can fill your day with water sports, shopping, exploring, and making new friends in Isla Mujeres.

Known for stunning white sand beaches, calm, clear blue waters, and some of the friendliest locals in the Mexican Caribbean. Isla’s diversity, from fishermen, artists, musicians, divers, chefs & ex-pats, form a unique community. Combining the beauty of the Caribbean, the history of the Mayans, and the infectious charm of the local people, Isla Mujeres has become a haven for people from all corners of the globe.

The beautiful island of Cozumel is located just off the northeast coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula—directly across the sea from Playa Del Carmen & about 90 minutes from the Cancun airport. 

Located on the Great Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (the 2nd largest coral reef in the world), Cozumel is in a perfect spot for crystal-clear Caribbean waters, white powder sand beaches, and world-class diving and snorkeling. 

The Riviera Maya will never cease to amaze you.

The Riviera Maya coastline along highway 307 between Cancun in the North and Tulum in the south. Popular locations along this route include Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, and Tulum. Between the towns are many resorts, hotels, restaurants and a wide variety of tourist attractions.

With over 120 km of crystal-clear waters, its white-sand beaches, cenotes, ancient archaeological sites, natural parks and theme parks, magnificent hotels, and exquisite cuisine, the Riviera Maya is paradise on Earth!

From the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, countless coastal Mexican towns and cities are excellent all year round. Even in 2020, a year impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, over 23 Million tourists traveled to Mexico. The appeal is obvious—crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, ancient Mayan ruins, many all-inclusive resorts, authentic margaritas, and delicious Mexican cuisine—and it extends beyond the average vacation. The country is also a delightfully tropical wedding destination.

A destination wedding in Mexico starts with determining where you want to spend your wedding day. Popular wedding location options include Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Tulum, and more, and where you’ll end up comes down to what you’re looking for. 

Found yourself a picturesque corner of the globe to host your destination wedding? Then the next thing to tick off on your to-do list will be finding a fantastic destination wedding photographer to capture your wedding day. Of course, you will be pouring in a lot of time,  effort, and money to turn your wedding into the perfect celebration, so it should be beautifully captured as well.

From the exotic landscapes of your venue to stunning bridal portraits to the tiny details, a fantastic destination wedding photographer can capture it all in marvelous photographs. You want to work with a destination wedding photographer who will deliver amazing photographs and a seamless experience.
