My Top Tips to Plan a Perfect Tulum Sunrise Elopement!

  1. More time! Especially to do more things and go explore if you are in a different country or location. You can plan to get married as soon as the sun rises and have your photos taken. After that the day is yours! Planning a whole day with your honey! It’s a great way to start your day!!!
  2. Lighting, lighting, lighting!! I know we all love sunsets and they are beautiful but sunrises are just as beautiful and guess what you don’t use light which means… hahahaha more photos!!! You can still get some golden hour shots in the morning just as the sun radiates on you and your love! Also you’ll notice the light kinda dances when the sun is rising, it’s beautiful!
  3. Weather! If you are eloping in a tropical location mornings are cool and not hot. The temperatures in Tulum can climb pretty high throughout the day depending what time of year you plan to elope. A sunrise elopement always ensures a cool fresh clear morning to exchange vows! And you most likely will have clear weather even if you elope in the mountains.
  4. Crowds! Tulum really is the hotspot for elopements, especially in Mexico. It’s also a beautiful tourist destination. Which usually means crowds. However in the early morning you wouldn’t see many people out, you can really say it’s just you and your babe or both of you and your close loved ones. During this elopement, it really felt like we were the only ones at the beach. It felt private and intimate and no one was in the water either!

"We are so happy we decided to have Lety capture our wedding."

My husband and I both knew it was very important to have beautiful photos for future memories of our wedding. We are so happy we decided to have Lety capture our wedding as the photos turned out amazing. She was extremely flexible due to covid.

"Would absolutely recommend if you need to book a destination wedding or engagement session.."

Working together was a dream! Her expertise and clarity with shooting and prompts was top notch- you can really tell she has the experience and know how of a seasoned wedding photographer. Would absolutely recommend if you need to book a destination wedding or engagement session. We shot with Lety in NYC and she handled the city like a pro !

"Lety is the vendor I was most confident in."

Working with Lety has been a dream! We booked her for our wedding this past weekend, and had an engagement shoot as well. Lety is so fun to work with, and her work is absolutely gorgeous! A friend even said we should use her photos as wallpaper :)
She makes us feel natural and nothing felt awkward at all
Out of all the vendors I hired, Lety is the vendor I was most confident in - she made it so easy for everyone being photographed feel relaxed and made it fun! Cannot recommend her enough

"Working with Lety was a
complete dream!!"

From the 1st meeting we had with her, she was super interested in getting to know us as a couple. This shows up in our pictures. She totally nailed our love, and how much we value having fun together. On the day of the wedding, she worked seamlessly with our other vendors and made us feel at ease. When you hire a wedding photographer, you hope that you get a handful of good pictures after the wedding that you like. For us, we have so many beautiful shots, they look like artwork, and I can’t wait to get them hung on walls. Lety takes such pride and dedication in her work. She truly cares about the couples she works with. We loved working with her!
