What a vacation photoshoot is

A relaxed session, usually 30 to 90 minutes, with a photographer who lives at your destination. You meet at a landmark, a beach or your hotel, walk a little, and get natural photos of your trip without anyone missing from the picture.

What it usually costs

Prices depend on the destination and length. Many photographers charge the equivalent of $150 to $450 for an hour. Every photographer on Book Holiday Photos shows their own price in local currency, and that is what you pay.

When to book

As soon as your dates are fixed. Popular photographers in places like Santorini, Paris and Bali fill sunrise and sunset slots weeks ahead in high season.

Choosing the right photographer

Look at the places they shoot, the languages they speak, how many edited photos are included and how fast the gallery arrives. Book early in your trip if you can, so the weather has a backup day.

How booking works

Three steps, any time zone.

  1. Search your destination

    Type where you are going. Compare local photographers, their sessions, prices and favourite spots.

  2. Pick an open time

    Times are shown in the destination's local time, and only when the photographer is really free.

  3. Book and pay securely

    Your card is authorised when you book and charged only when the photographer accepts, usually within a day. If they cannot make it, the hold is released.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How do I book a photographer abroad?

Search your destination, choose a photographer and a session, and pick an open time, shown in local time. You pay securely online; your card is charged only once the photographer accepts.

What if it rains?

Most photographers move the session to another day of your trip. Their profile and the booking confirmation explain how they handle weather.

Do we need to speak the local language?

No. Photographers list the languages they speak on their profile, and most work with travellers in English every day.
