What’s Included and How It Works
When you book the Private Vacation Photography Session with a Local Photographer, you’re securing a dedicated, custom photo session. The price of $325 covers up to six people, making it a cost-effective way to capture everyone in the picture—literally. The session lasts about an hour, which is enough time to visit multiple locations or focus on a single beautiful spot, depending on your preference.
All taxes, fees, and digital images are included, with a gallery delivered in high resolution within five days. This quick turnaround means you’ll have photos to share and print sooner rather than later. The package also emphasizes professional guidance from a local photographer, someone who knows Whistler’s best views and hidden gems.
What Locations Might You Visit?
Your photographer will work with your preferences, but typical spots include Rebagliati Park, known for its lush scenery, or the bustling Village, perfect for capturing the lively, mountain-town vibe. Green Lake offers serene, reflective backdrops, ideal for couples or family shots. If you have a special place in mind, your guide can craft a custom route—meaning no cookie-cutter photos here.
The Planning Process and Flexibility
About 24 hours after booking, the Flytographer team reaches out to confirm your details and coordinate meeting times. This personal touch helps tailor the experience to your schedule and wishes. Since it’s a private shoot, only your group will be involved, ensuring a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable.
You also have the flexibility to choose your start point, and the session ends back at your meeting spot. Keep in mind, transportation to the shooting locations is not included, so plan to arrive on foot or arrange your own transport if necessary.
What to Expect During the Photo Shoot
In our experience, the photographer is friendly and professional, ensuring you feel at ease. The hour flies by quickly, but you’ll have plenty of time to pose, walk, and enjoy the scenery. Whether you prefer candid moments or classic posed shots, the photographer will help you look your best.
One thing to note is that proposal photography isn’t included, so if you’re planning a marriage proposal, you’ll need to arrange that separately. Also, entrance fees to certain locations aren’t covered, so if you plan to visit specific sites that charge admission, budget accordingly.
The Photos and Delivery
Once the shoot wraps, you’ll receive 20 to 65 high-resolution digital photographs, depending on your package. The images are shared through an online gallery, making it easy to download, share, or print. Many reviews highlight the quality, noting, “We loved the way our photos turned out—they’re stunning and natural,” which confirms the professionalism of the photographer.
Who Will Love This Experience?

This photo session is perfect for couples wanting romantic keepsakes, families seeking professional portraits, or groups celebrating milestones. If you appreciate having a professional capture your trip’s best moments without the awkwardness of trying to do it yourself, this is a smart choice. It’s also ideal if you’re looking for a stress-free way to get personalized images, especially in a beautiful mountain setting.
Considerations and Tips
While many love the flexibility, remember that transportation costs to certain scenic locations are not included, so plan accordingly. Also, the price might be a barrier for budget travelers, but the quality and personalized service can justify the expense for those wanting top-notch photos.
Weather can be a factor—since the experience requires good weather, if poor conditions cause cancellation, you’ll be offered an alternative date or a full refund. Keep an eye on the forecast if you’re planning during shoulder seasons.
