For some people, visiting Cabo St Lucas is a once-in-a-lifetime trip. For others, it’s a relaxing getaway and the ultimate island vacation. Regardless of which category you fall into, you want ways to commemorate your experiences.
Whether you’re coming to Cabo for a wedding, hanging out with the family, or heading out for a romantic getaway, hiring a photographer while you’re here is a great idea. Schedule a photo shoot to have those memories forever.
Below, you will find some great locations to have photos taken in Cabo, and a few photographer recommendations as well.
Premier Cabo St Lucas Photography Locations
There are so many great locations where you can get photographs. Many of the excursions will have their own photo opportunities onsite. But if you want to hire professional photography, you will want to use local landscape that captures the beauty of the location.
Check out some of these awesome ideas.
Choose a Beach
Cabo has plenty of gorgeous beaches. Any one of those beaches would make a great place to have photos taken. A popular choice is the beach at sunset, but you can have photos done at any time of the day.
You can choose a beach, or work with your photographer on their beach recommendation. Here are some popular beaches to consider.
- El Medano Beach
- Lover’s Beach
- Playa del Divorcio
- Chileno Beach
- Santa Maria Beach
- Cannery Beach
- Los Cerritos Beach
- Playa Bledito
- Playa Costa Azul
These are just a few of the top beaches, according to tourists. However, all of the beaches in Cabo are public, so it’s perfectly fine to head out to whichever beach appeals to you.
Cabo St Lucas Arch
The Arch in Cabo is one of the most noteworthy destinations on the island. Everyone wants to see the Arch, and what better backdrop is there for your pictures? You can head out on a cruise and see it close up, or you can see it from certain beaches and visual areas as well.
This is a natural arch that has formed in the rock near Land’s End, and it’s a classic must-see in Cabo. Of course, the best views come from taking tours and cruises that go directly out near the Arch for up-close views. But you can also get close via Playa del Amor, which is Lover’s Beach.
Downtown Vibes
The traditional beach and Arch photography is always a winner, but why not change it up with unique scenery and backdrops that will be different from the norm? Cabo is full of beautiful historic buildings and colors in the downtown area.
The town has a lot of really great photo opportunities, and it’s a location you should spend time exploring as well. While you’re there, you can enjoy local cuisine, see what some of the local vendors have to offer, and learn more about the rich history of Cabo.
You can discover the beauty in its natural setting and go home with gorgeous photos that bring out the best of the area. It’s an experience, and it makes for some really awesome photography, too.
Cabo Arts District
We briefly mentioned the downtown area, but Cabo also has an arts district. While the downtown area has stunning beauty and architecture, the arts district is flooded with brilliant colors all around you.
The arts district is so exciting, and it really brings out the brilliance of Cabo. Much like downtown, you have shopping, vendors, food, and more that you can enjoy while you’re here. You can even treat your photographer to a margarita.
The art here is portrayed in the buildings, the local artists, and tons of amazing galleries as well. Be sure to check out the street art while you’re here.
La Paz
La Paz makes a really awesome day trip from Cabo if you have the time. It’s the capital of Baja California Sur, and there are plenty of magical opportunities. While you’re there, you can see the whales, take a cruise, snorkel, and more.
You can also hire a photographer to capture your photos in different areas. Balandra Beach is a phenomenal location with tons of colors that look amazing in photos.
Resort Locations
If you really aren’t sure where to have your photos taken, your resort likely has some awesome views that will work just fine. The resort building itself will look great, but there are probably beach access locations, palm trees, green grass, and more that can be used to capture some photo opportunities.
This takes you out of the “normal” beach photos, but still captures some of the beauty of the island that surrounds you.
Make These Photos Yours
We could list specific locations all day long. In the end, it’s between you and your photographer to determine what location(s) best suit the visuals you want to capture from your vacation. Whether you love the beach or want to check out the downtown architecture, you really can’t go wrong.
You don’t have to choose based on what everyone else does. Your photographer will likely be native to the area and have some great ideas as well.
These are some local photographers we recommend:
- Gonzalo Verdeja Photography
- Jose Manuel Bustamante
- Dino Gomez Photography
- Daniela Fernandez Photography
