Cenote Underwater Trash The Dress Tulum
Our underwater photoshoots take place in a very relaxed and even fun atmosphere. On the one hand, the newlywed couple, who, after the “stress” of the wedding, enjoy the first day of tranquillity, ready to try an experience that will be remembered for years. On the other hand, there is us, happy and honored to be part of a moment of joy of two people never seen before but who turn into friends in a few minutes.
Cenote Underwater Trash The Dress Tulum
During all these years we have met about 200 couples. We would be lying if we said that meeting them at an airport or station, we would immediately remember their name (we have a terrible memory for names). And the same happens for their origin. How could we remember if Mary and John were from Texas or California or Saskatchewan (!) or even UK? Instead, we often remember specific details, sometimes the profession (how many nurses ….), sometimes how one interacted with the other. But above all, we remember the funny details.

For example, a Bolivian couple once forgot the groom’s jacket at the hotel, but it didn’t seem to bother them at all. They were both so relaxed that the bride, with the utmost naturalness, asked us: “You can add it with photoshop, right?
Another time a groom (always grooms…) forgot his beautiful white shirt, perfect for him who was black. We ended up lending him a Ralph Lauren with blue and white checks, which we had never tried underwater. It was perfect.

In the case of Carolina and Philip, the couple in these photos, he forgot his pants, which is much more serious than forgetting a jacket or a shirt, if you think about it. Can you imagine an Underwater Trash The Dress Tulum with the groom in his underwear?
Fortunately, the panic only lasted a few seconds. Our faithful Jorge, omnipresent assistant, on land as well as underwater, a man of a thousand resources, offered to lend his jeans shorts.
Philip tried them on, and they fit him perfectly. The photoshoot could begin.
But let’s change the topic for a moment.
Time
Very often, before booking, our couples ask us how long it takes to be underwater to take these photos. Many have the impression that certain expressions and poses require to stay a long time. In reality, this is not the case.
As we always say (and as we have written in other pages), each pose requires a very minimum underwater time, generally no longer than 10 or 15 seconds. Simple and clear instructions and a pinch of experience mean that it is possible to obtain the results you see on our website, even in such a short time.
Sometimes, certain poses have to be repeated, but it is a minimal sacrifice worth making.
Then, once we are sure that pose is good, without any hurry, we move on to the next one, until we cover all those we have planned. No need to say that different cenotes involve different poses.
The eyes
A detail on which we are very demanding is the eyes. We want them to remain wide open. And this, even if it seems somewhat unnatural, is something that anyone can master in a few minutes. Remember that the cenotes’ water (as opposed to the sea) is fresh and (unlike the pools) does not contain chlorine. So the eyes don’t burn.
Keeping your eyes open is essential to get that feeling of “normalcy” even if you are underwater. It wouldn’t make sense to have pictures with closed eyes (and maybe swollen cheeks like someone holding their breath).
For this reason, before starting to photograph, we always take a few minutes to get the bride used to being underwater with her eyes wide open.
Which cenote?
Although we are continually looking for new cenotes, we focus our work on two of them, which are located halfway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum.
One is private, and the other is public.
The first, which is quite expensive, is usually chosen by those who require more privacy or want to pose naked. It has lush vegetation all around and it is relatively small and shallow.
The second, on the other hand, is public. It is much larger and has an external and an internal part (a cave with incredibly transparent water).
As we said before, the possible poses are different from one cenote to another.
The photos in this post were taken in the public cenote.
We conclude by thanking Carolina and Philip, who were a fantastic couple. We hope to meet them again soon for another underwater adventure.
All the best guys
