Why choose honeymoon photography in Porto de Galinhas?
Honeymooners in Porto de Galinhas often want their session on the first evening, to have it done and enjoy the rest of the week. The village is close to Recife by Brazilian standards, but the sun sets early in this part of the world all year round, earliest in June, and the drive plus check-in eats most of an afternoon. Whether arrival day works is a matter of landing time and month, and it is checked before the session is booked.
Worth knowing about Porto de Galinhas
Porto de Galinhas is about 60 km and an hour by car from Recife’s airport on the PE-009, and sunset there falls between about 17:10 in June and 17:45 in January. A couple landing after about 14:00 in the June to August months will usually miss golden hour on arrival day, so the honeymoon session moves to the second evening or to a sunrise.

FAQ — Honeymoon photography in Porto de Galinhas
Can our Porto de Galinhas honeymoon session be on the day we arrive?
Only with an early flight. Porto de Galinhas is about an hour from Recife airport on the PE-009, and sunset comes between about 17:10 and 17:45, earliest in June. Couples landing in the early afternoon or later, especially in the middle of the year, book the honeymoon session for the second evening or a sunrise.
Is sunrise or sunset better for honeymoon photos in Porto de Galinhas?
Both work, in different places. In Porto de Galinhas the sun rises straight out of the sea in front of the village, and sets over the river at the Pontal de Maracaípe. Honeymoon couples who are early risers get an empty beach at dawn; the Pontal sunset is busier but warmer in tone.
