Couples Photographer in Phi Phi Islands

Most sessions run between forty-five minutes and two hours. In Thailand the time of day matters more than the length: the sun rises and sets between roughly six and seven o'clock all year, the soft light lasts only a short while because the sun climbs fast, and by mid-morning heat and hard overhead light take over. An hour that starts at sunrise or ends at sunset usually gives more than two hours at noon. The photographer's packages on their profile say exactly what each length includes.

Light, breathable fabrics — linen and cotton — that won't show the heat, in colours that sit well against green water and pale sand. If the route takes in a temple, both of you need shoulders and knees covered: a light shirt over a dress, or a sarong over shorts, solves it in a minute, and shoes you can slip off help, since they come off before you enter a hall. In the hot season, from about mid-February to mid-May with April the hottest month, keep the session to the first hour after sunrise or the last before sunset.

Each photographer sets their own price for a photoshoot on the Phi Phi Islands: every package on their profile shows an all-inclusive price, and nothing is added at checkout. Packages differ by how long the session runs and how many edited photos you receive, so compare a one-hour beach session against a longer one before you book.

November to April. Phi Phi Don has no cars, so sessions move on foot and by longtail, and the viewpoint above the village is at its best around sunrise and sunset. Maya Bay, on Phi Phi Leh, is inside a national park and run under strict rules: boats no longer enter the bay but moor on the other side of the island, visitors walk in along a boardwalk, swimming is not allowed, time on the beach is limited, and the bay has closed every year from 1 August to 30 September — check the current dates. Arrive at opening for a beach with fewer people on it. From May to October, monsoon swells can cancel boats at short notice.
