Why choose honeymoon photography in Fernando de Noronha?
A honeymoon on Fernando de Noronha is usually a week of boat trips, snorkelling and long lunches, and the pictures couples want most are the ones in the water: floating over a coral pool, or on the sand of a bay with nobody else in it. The island makes those possible and also rations them, because the pools are opened by the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) a few hours a day, to a capped number of people, at whatever time the tide allows.
Worth knowing about Fernando de Noronha
ICMBio opens the Atalaia natural pool only in a daily slot calculated from the low tide and capped by a carrying-capacity study, so a honeymoon session there is booked for the couple and the photographer separately, once the slot is published. Life jackets are compulsory and standing or kneeling on the bottom is banned, so every Atalaia picture is taken floating.

FAQ — Honeymoon photography in Fernando de Noronha
Can our Noronha honeymoon photographer come into the Atalaia pool?
Yes, with a booked slot of their own. Each visitor to the Atalaia natural pool on Fernando de Noronha, photographer included, needs a place in the daily slot ICMBio sets from the low tide, plus the park ticket, and wears the compulsory life jacket, mask and snorkel. The camera goes in a housing and the whole honeymoon session there is shot floating.
Can we wear sunscreen for honeymoon photos at Atalaia on Fernando de Noronha?
Not before entering the water. ICMBio bans sunscreen and other skin products before a dip in the Atalaia natural pool on Fernando de Noronha, to protect the coral. Honeymoon couples cover up with a rash guard and plan the pool for the slot nearest early morning, keeping the sunscreen for the afternoon beach.
