Why choose honeymoon photography in Maceió?
Honeymooners based in Maceió or the pousadas of the north coast almost always spend one day at the Galés de Maragogi, the reef pools that made the region famous. The photographs they imagine are in the water, the two of them floating over the coral with the catamaran behind. The Galés are regulated more tightly than any other pool on this coast, and the honeymoon session is built around what that regulation leaves room for.
Worth knowing about Maceió
ICMBio’s Instrução Normativa nº 08 of 2009 caps the Galés de Maragogi at 720 visitors a day and requires boats to leave the zone at high tide. It also reserves underwater photo services for providers with ICMBio authorisation, a municipal permit and an underwater photography course, so a honeymoon photographer from Maceió works from the boat and the surface while the couple floats.

FAQ — Honeymoon photography in Maceió
Can our Maceió honeymoon photographer come to the Galés de Maragogi?
Yes, as a visitor on the same boat, counted within the cap of 720 people a day that ICMBio sets for the Galés de Maragogi. The honeymoon photographer shoots from the deck and the surface; underwater photo services at the Galés are reserved for providers authorised by ICMBio and the municipality.
How long is there for honeymoon photos on the Galés de Maragogi reef?
Only the low-tide window. ICMBio does not allow boats to stay in the Galés de Maragogi zone at high tide, so the catamaran’s time on the reef is set by the tide and by the operator’s permit. The honeymoon session on the reef is short, and the rest is shot on the beach before and after.
