Your photoshoot
at Soneva Jani
Professional photography at Soneva Jani on Medhufaru, Noonu Atoll — honeymoon and couples sessions, proposals, families, and drone aerials. We come to your resort; you just show up in the light.
About Soneva Jani
Soneva Jani sits on Medhufaru in Noonu Atoll, about 40 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport — we come to you by seaplane or by domestic flight and boat. It is set in one of the largest private lagoons in the Maldives, with a long chain of overwater villas reached by a lengthy timber jetty, famous for retractable roofs and slides into the lagoon. The water is shallow and pale for a long way out, which gives clean horizons and almost surreal colour for couple, proposal, and honeymoon sessions.
