Planning a photoshoot in Boracay this December? Whether it’s for a wedding, prenup, family portraits, or a content creator session, packing smart makes ALL the difference. December is one of the busiest and most beautiful months on the island—cooler weather, golden sunsets, and vibrant turquoise waters. But it also brings crowds and occasional light showers, making preparation essential for clients booking a Boracay Photographer.

As one of the leading photography teams on the island, Eight Productions helps clients prepare for flawless shoots regardless of season. This guide will show you exactly what to bring, what to wear, and how to stay ready for any unexpected changes.

Why December Shoots in Boracay Require Special Planning

December marks peak season in Boracay. The weather is generally sunny and cool, but because of holiday traffic and increased tourist activity, clients should anticipate:

• Tighter shoot schedules
• More people at popular spots
• Sudden drizzles or windy conditions
• Busy beachfront pathways and hotels

A well-packed kit ensures your session with your Boracay Photographer stays smooth, stress-free, and visually stunning.

Wardrobe Guide for a December Boracay Shoot

1. Outfits That Match Boracay’s Colors

Boracay light reflects beautifully on:

• White, beige, nude tones
• Soft pastels (sage, sky blue, blush, butter yellow)
• Tropical colors (coral, turquoise, mustard)

Avoid overly busy prints unless they match the theme. Your Boracay Photographer will often suggest tones that enhance skin glow and sunset warmth.

2. Bring At Least 2–3 Outfit Options

For variety and weather adaptation:

• Beach casual (linen shirts, flowy dresses, shorts)
• Semi-formal (long gowns, polos, button-downs)
• Swimwear for midday or shoreline shots

Having multiple outfits helps adjust to wind, crowds, or lighting changes.

3. Consider the Wind

December winds can be strong—great for dramatic dress movement, but also tricky.

Pack:

• Double-sided tape
• Hair clips or pins
• Light jackets or shawls for breaks

4. Footwear Suggestions

You don’t need heels to look elegant!

Bring:

• Sandals
• Barefoot sandals
• Wedges with stable heels
• Clean sneakers for casual concepts

Props That Elevate Your Boracay Photo Session

Your Boracay Photographer may bring creative direction, but personal items make the shoot more meaningful.

Recommended Props

• Wide-brim hats or straw hats
• Sunglasses (bring 2–3 choices)
• Beach blankets for lounging shots
• Fresh flowers, especially tropical colors
• Accessories: earrings, bangles, anklets
• Bubbles or small confetti (eco-friendly only)
• Umbrella or clear parasol for rain or sunny glam shots
• Personal mementos (letters, gifts, rings, anniversary tokens)

What NOT to Bring

• Balloons (not allowed on Boracay due to environmental laws)
• Glass bottles near the water
• Non-biodegradable décor

Eco-friendly props keep the island beautiful and protect marine life—something your Boracay Photographer will always support.

Practical Essentials Clients Often Forget

✔ Skin essentials

• Oil blotting paper
• Matte compact powder
• Sunscreen (non-greasy)
• Lip balm

✔ Hydration & snacks

The December heat can still be exhausting—bring water and small snacks especially for kids.

✔ Hair & style kit

• Small comb
• Light hold spray
• Hair ties
• Fabric steamer for clothes

✔ Safety pouch

• IDs, hotel keycards
• Small towel
• Portable fan

Backup Plan Guide for December Weather & Crowds

December is gorgeous… but also unpredictable.

A professional Boracay Photographer always prepares contingencies, and clients should too:

1. Adjust Shoot Time

Morning and sunset are prime times. If the beach becomes crowded, alternative locations can include:

• Puka Beach’s quieter shores
• Private beachfront areas
• Garden pathways
• Cliffside resorts or hidden coves

2. Weather Backup Outfits

Pack at least one outfit that still looks good when wet or windy such as:

• Satin slip dress
• Linen clothing
• Swim cover-ups

These photograph well even in cloudy or moody lighting.

3. Bring a Waterproof Bag

Sudden drizzles may force quick movement. Waterproof bags keep:

• Phones
• Jewelry
• Wardrobe pieces
• Makeup

…safe and dry.

4. Flexible Props

Choose items that can work under sun OR clouds—like hats, blankets, or florals.

5. Communication is Key

Your Boracay Photographer will guide you on:

• When to move locations
• When to shoot during crowd dips
• How to make use of weather for dramatic shots
