Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon, in Alifu Alifu (North Ari) Atoll, is 112 villas across the island, enough to choose a quiet stretch of beach for the session. Honeymoon, wedding, proposal or family — a session here is an hour in the soft light, unhurried, with the photographs in your hands in forty-eight hours.

The travel fee to Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon is US$680 by speedboat, always quoted on its own line, so the package price is the package price.
The light at Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon.
At Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon we start about an hour and a quarter before sunset on the beach that faces the open sea, move through the shallows as the light turns gold, and finish on the pool deck after the sun has gone. Central atoll islands have the classic Maldivian sunset — long, gold, and over the water. Sunrise sessions are quieter still, and the water is at its clearest.

Questions about Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon.
How much does a photographer cost at Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon?
Portrait sessions start at US$320 (Tropical Memories, 20–40 minutes) and run to US$4,250 for a full day with drone and a sunset cruise. The travel fee to Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon is US$680, which covers the speedboat transfer from Malé. Weddings are quoted on the ceremony.
Can I book an outside photographer at Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon?
Most Maldivian resorts welcome a photographer booked directly by a guest; a few have an exclusive in-house studio. I confirm Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon's current policy with the resort before you pay anything — usually within six hours of your enquiry — and if the island is exclusive I will say so plainly.
What is the best time of day for photographs at Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon?
The last seventy-five minutes before sunset, then the blue hour. Sunrise is the alternative if you want the beach to yourselves and the flattest water. Midday is for the drone, not for portraits.
How do you get to Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon?
Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon is a 60-minute speedboat from Velana International Airport in Malé. I book the same transfer through the resort and arrive on the day of the session.
When will we receive the photographs?
A sneak peek within 24 hours and the full edited gallery within 48 — often before you leave Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon. Every image is delivered in full resolution with a personal licence to print and share.
Which season is best at Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon?
Alifu Alifu Atoll has two monsoons: Iruvai (late November to early April) is the dry season with clear skies and still lagoons; Hulhangu (April to November) brings dramatic clouds, short showers and the best sunsets. I shoot year round; the plan simply changes with the sky.
