Your photoshoot
on Funadhoo
Professional photography on Funadhoo, Shaviyani Atoll — honeymoon and couples sessions, proposals, families, and drone aerials, photographed by locals who know the island's best light.
About Funadhoo
Funadhoo is the capital of Shaviyani Atoll, an island of about 2,250 people on 0.85 km², roughly 220 km north of Malé and served by its own domestic airport. It is a long, green island with a protected harbour on the lagoon side and a long stretch of beach, and it acts as the gateway to an atoll of small fishing villages, resort-rimmed reefs and uninhabited islands. Tourism is still light, which keeps its lagoon beaches and village lanes quiet outside local holidays.

Photoshoot on Funadhoo — FAQ
We arrange boat or domestic transfer, or pair you with a Coora photographer already in Shaviyani Atoll. If you're already staying on Funadhoo, we simply meet you there — we photograph guests on their own island.
Golden hour — roughly the last 60–90 minutes before sunset, and the first hour after sunrise. We schedule every Funadhoo session around it and move between jetty, beach and palm lines as the light changes.
It depends on the beach: swimwear is only allowed on designated tourist beaches on inhabited islands. We confirm Funadhoo's rules before your shoot and plan looks and locations to match.
Often yes. Drone rules vary by island and resort; we check Funadhoo's current permissions before your session and, where flying isn't possible, plan aerials from a nearby sandbank.
