Why choose couple photography in Ilha Grande?
Most couple sessions on Ilha Grande are about beaches, and there is no shortage of them. Dois Rios is different: a long beach on the open side where two rivers reach the sea on either end, with a village behind it built around a former prison. The ruins, the old village street and the empty beach give a session texture and a story, at the end of a walk across the island.
Worth knowing about Ilha Grande
INEA records that Vila Dois Rios housed a prison from 1903 to 1994, when it was closed, and that the site is now used for research by the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). A couple session there pairs the empty beach with the old prison buildings, and the walk across from Abraão is planned so the light is still good on arrival.

FAQ — Couple photography in Ilha Grande
Is Dois Rios on Ilha Grande a good place for a couple session?
Yes, for couples who want something other than a postcard beach. Dois Rios, on the open side of Ilha Grande, combines a long, quiet beach between two river mouths with the village of the former prison, closed in 1994 and now used by UERJ for research, which gives the couple session texture and history.
How long does it take to reach Dois Rios for a couple photoshoot on Ilha Grande?
Dois Rios is across the island from Vila do Abraão, reached on foot over the ridge, so the couple photoshoot is a half-day outing rather than a quick stop. The walk is planned in the cooler morning, with water, and the session is made on arrival.
