Couple photography · Bonito
In short
Couple photography in Bonito starts at $150: 30 min on location with a photographer who works in Bonito, and 20 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 7 days.
Why choose couple photography in Bonito?
Couples come to Bonito for a picture of the two of them floating over a bed of green weed in water as clear as air. That picture exists, but in Bonito it is made under the rules of whoever owns the river, and the biggest float in the region keeps its underwater photography in-house. A couple session here is therefore planned in two halves: the underwater frames from the reserve, and a hired session somewhere the light and the setting are the photographer’s to use.
Worth knowing about Bonito
The Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata does not allow professional cameras in underwater housings, or drones, on its float, and offers its own professional photography service during the tour. A couple who want underwater pictures in Bonito buy them from the reserve, and the hired couple session moves to the Buraco das Araras, where the 970 m trail ends at two platforms over the sinkhole.

FAQ — Couple photography in Bonito
Can our photographer shoot underwater on the Rio da Prata float in Bonito?
No. The Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata, near Bonito, bans professional cameras in underwater housings and sells its own professional photography during the float. A Bonito couple session plans the underwater frames with the reserve and the hired photographs on dry ground nearby.
What time of day suits a couple session in Bonito?
Late afternoon at the Buraco das Araras, when the macaws return to the sinkhole and the sandstone glows. In Bonito the sun sets at about 17:12 in late June and 18:32 in January, so a winter couple session starts noticeably earlier than a summer one.
