Planning a couples session in Puerto Rico? Whether you’re dreaming of cobblestone streets in Old San Juan or a lush rainforest backdrop, here’s everything you need to know to make the most out of your photoshoot—plus tips to help you avoid crowds and soak in the magic of the moment.
Do I Need a Reservation or Permit?
Most locations in Puerto Rico are easily accessible without reservations, including El Yunque National Rainforest, which no longer requires entry tickets for general visits.
That said, certain areas—like private venues, natural reserves, or special spots like Cueva Ventana—may still need permits or advance notice. I’ll help guide you through what’s needed depending on your chosen location, so you can focus on the fun part: showing up and being in the moment.
Best Time for Your Session
Timing plays a huge role in your photos—both in terms of lighting and avoiding crowds.
-
Morning sessions are great for places like Old San Juan, where foot traffic picks up fast.
-
Golden hour in the afternoon offers dreamy light and works beautifully for beaches, forests, or mountaintop views.
-
Weekdays are ideal if you want a more relaxed, crowd-free experience. You’ll have more freedom to explore and take your time during the session.
Want to Avoid the Crowds? Here’s How.
If you’re looking for an intimate and relaxed experience, I recommend choosing less crowded locations and times. Not only does this make it easier to capture candid, unbothered moments, but it also helps you feel more comfortable in front of the camera.
We’ll plan around spots that let you move, laugh, and love freely—without dodging tourists or waiting for backgrounds to clear out.
