When visiting Paris, it’s almost obligatory to document your trip with photos that do justice to the city’s timeless beauty. A private photoshoot with a local professional photographer offers a fantastic way to do just that. For around $290 for a group of up to six people, you get about an hour of personalized picture-taking at some of Paris’s most iconic locations, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and along the Seine River. The shoot is flexible, with timings available from early morning to evening (7 a.m. to 8 p.m.), which makes fitting it into your busy sightseeing schedule quite manageable.
Two things we particularly appreciate are the customized experience—your photographer tailors the session to your preferred style and locations—and the quality of the photos. After your shoot, you’ll receive 45 professionally edited images—a generous number that offers plenty of options for printing or sharing. That said, one potential consideration is the weather, as the experience is weather-dependent, but if the skies turn gray, you’ll be offered a different day or a full refund.
This experience suits couples, families, or groups of friends looking for high-quality, authentic photos with a personal touch. If you love the idea of capturing genuine moments with Paris as your backdrop, this private photoshoot might just be a highlight of your trip.

The Essence of a Paris Photoshoot: What You Can Expect
Imagine wandering through Paris with a professional photographer by your side—someone who knows the city’s best angles and hidden gems. The meeting point is conveniently located at La France Renaissante, 810 Pont de Bir-Hakeim, a spot with easy access to some spectacular views, especially of the Eiffel Tower.
