Why choose destination wedding photography in Búzios?
A wedding in Búzios is usually a pousada or hotel wedding with the sea in the background: a ceremony at sunset on a terrace or a stretch of beach, dinner under string lights, a dance floor by the pool. The photography is shaped by the bay side of the peninsula, where the sun goes down over the water, and by the town's own rules for what can happen on the sand.
Worth knowing about Búzios
Article 49 of the municipal code of Armação dos Búzios bans amplified sound of any size on the beaches. A Búzios wedding ceremony held on the sand therefore uses acoustic musicians and an unamplified officiant, and the microphone, the speakers and the band move to the pousada terrace or the reception venue behind the beach.

FAQ — Destination wedding photography in Búzios
Can we have music at a beach wedding ceremony in Búzios?
Only unamplified music. The municipal code of Armação dos Búzios, article 49, prohibits amplified sound of any size on the beaches, so a beach wedding ceremony in Búzios uses an acoustic guitar or strings, and the amplified music is kept for the venue terrace or reception.
Do Búzios pousadas charge a fee for an outside wedding photographer?
Some Búzios pousadas and hotels do, some do not, and a few work only with their own team, and the policy is rarely published. The vendor rule, any fee and the insurance the venue asks for are confirmed in writing with the wedding coordinator before the contract is signed.
