Why choose elopement photography in Búzios?
An elopement in Búzios has something a wedding of a hundred guests cannot use: the small coves on the northern side of the peninsula, where two people, an officiant and a photographer fit on a strip of sand between rocks. Several are steep or slow to reach on foot, and the boat that takes the couple there becomes part of the story, from the pier at dawn to the vows on a beach with almost nobody else on it.
Worth knowing about Búzios
The Prefeitura of Búzios lists boat taxis from the Píer do Centro, on Praia do Canto, and from Praia dos Ossos to Azeda, Azedinha, Armação, João Fernandes, João Fernandinho, Tartaruga and Manguinhos. An elopement on one of those coves can therefore start at the pier, arrive by sea before the day visitors, and leave the same way after the portraits.

FAQ — Elopement photography in Búzios
How do we reach a small beach for an elopement in Búzios?
By boat taxi or on foot. The Prefeitura of Búzios lists water taxis from the Píer do Centro and Praia dos Ossos to coves such as Azeda, João Fernandes and Tartaruga, so an elopement can arrive by sea with the officiant and photographer, and the boat is booked for the return as well.
Is an elopement on a Búzios beach legally binding?
Not on its own. A symbolic elopement ceremony on a Búzios beach has no legal effect in Brazil. Couples who want a legal marriage marry at a Cartório de Registro Civil, which asks for documents prepared well in advance, or marry at home and hold the ceremony in Búzios.
