How the Experience Works
Meeting and Planning
Your private photography session begins at Trg Sv. Stjepana, the lively square in the heart of Hvar town. The process starts with a friendly meet-up, where your photographer introduces themselves and discusses your preferences. We appreciate that you can communicate your ideas beforehand via messages, which helps set clear expectations about the locations and style of photos you want. This pre-planning makes a big difference, saving time and ensuring the photos are truly personalized.
The Photography Locations
While the exact spots depend on your preferences, the photographer will guide you to some of the best scenic points Hvar has to offer. Typical options include the iconic Hvar Fortress, the charming old port, or lesser-known viewpoints with stunning views of the Adriatic. The beauty of this experience is its customization—if you have a special place in mind, it’s likely to be included.
Duration and Flow
The entire session lasts around one hour, which is enough time to capture a variety of shots without feeling rushed. The photographer will take both candid and posed shots, helping you relax and enjoy the moment. The activity ends back at the initial meeting point, so it’s easy to combine with other activities or sightseeing afterward.
The Value of a Private Photographer
For just over $298 (encompassing the entire group), this experience offers a personalized photography service that can produce high-quality images to cherish long after your trip. Compared to hiring a photographer for a full day or paying for studio-style sessions, this is a cost-effective way to get professional photos in a stunning setting. Plus, since it’s a private tour, you won’t have strangers in your photos — just your group.
What Travelers Might Appreciate
While no reviews are available yet, the flexibility and focus on personal preferences make this a great option for those who want authentic, well-crafted memories. The ability to discuss locations beforehand means you’re more likely to get shots that really matter to you—be it candid laughter, romantic couples’ portraits, or fun family shots.
Considerations
Since weather can impact the session, it’s good to have a backup plan or be prepared for possible rescheduling if inclement conditions arise. Also, the one-hour duration, while perfect for quick captures, isn’t meant for extensive photography or multiple outfits and styles.
