Experience a Personal Photo Session in Munich with a Skilled Photographer
If you’re heading to Munich and want to turn your trip into a series of unforgettable pictures, this private photoshoot offers a perfect blend of scenic locations, professional guidance, and personalized service. For $179.31 per person, you’ll spend about an hour exploring the city’s most photogenic spots, from the bustling Marienplatz to historic sites like the Residence and Bavarian Opera. Led by Marina Ickes, a photographer known for making her clients feel at ease, this experience is ideal for travelers craving authentic, high-quality images that truly reflect their time in Bavaria.

As one reviewer mentioned, Marina “really brought something special to the experience,” making her clients feel like models and encouraging natural, joyful expressions.
You’ll be walking around for about an hour, with the photographer capturing over 50 high-resolution images.

Afterward, you’ll receive a private online gallery with color-corrected photos in about 14 days—perfect for sharing or printing.
Authentic, Personalized Photos in Beautiful Settings
The main draw is the chance to avoid the awkwardness of asking strangers to take your photos, plus the assurance of high-quality results. Marina’s reviews highlight her talent and friendly demeanor—”She took us to so many cute historic spots,” says one happy couple, emphasizing the variety and charm of the locations.
Practical Aspects and Considerations
While the price includes the photo session and delivery of digital images, it does not include transportation. You should plan how to get to the meeting point at Fischbrunnen, whether by public transit or walking. Munich’s public transportation is reliable and close to the meeting spot, making it easy to start your session without hassle.
The duration is about an hour, which is enough time to cover multiple locations without feeling rushed. The availability is generally about 22 days in advance, so booking early is recommended, especially during peak travel seasons.
