V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection sits on the island of Mirihi in Alifu Dhaalu (South Ari) Atoll. It is a small island of 38 villas, which means empty beaches at sunset and no queue for the jetty. I have been photographing on Maldivian resort islands since 2013, and every session here runs the same way: I arrive on the resort's own transfer, meet you at your villa or the jetty, and we walk into the light.
I have published 3 shoots from V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection below, the latest in September 2017. They are the best guide to what your own session would look like: the same beaches, the same jetty, the same last half hour of light.
The travel fee to V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection is US$580 by local island route, always quoted on its own line, so the package price is the package price.

The light at V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection.
At V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection we start about an hour and a quarter before sunset on the sunset side of the island, move through the shallows as the light turns gold, and finish on the sandbank if the tide allows. 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.

Can I book an outside photographer at V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection?
Most Maldivian resorts welcome a photographer booked directly by a guest; a few have an exclusive in-house studio. I confirm V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection'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 V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection?
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.

When will we receive the photographs?
A sneak peek within 24 hours and the full edited gallery within 48 — often before you leave V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection. Every image is delivered in full resolution with a personal licence to print and share.
Which season is best at V Villas Maldives at Mirihi-Mgallery Collection?
Alifu Dhaalu 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. The shoots on this page were made in Atha, Dosa.
