Explore London: Personalised Photoshoot Experience

Thinking about capturing your trip to London with some professional photos? This personalised photoshoot experience by Kaya Dawkins might just be what you’re after. It’s designed for individuals, couples, and families who want to create lasting memories with high-quality images against the backdrop of one of the world’s most photographed cities. While it’s not your typical tourist snap session, it offers a chance to get genuine, unstaged photos taken by someone who really knows the city.

What we really like about this experience is how flexible and intimate it feels. First, the relaxed atmosphere allows for natural expressions — no stiff poses or forced smiles here. Second, the expert guidance from Kaya helps even camera-shy travelers get great shots. But it’s not perfect; the price might seem steep for some, especially considering you only get images and not physical prints or extras. This experience works best for those who value quality over quantity and want a personal touch.

If you’re someone who loves personalized experiences, prefers a more laid-back approach, and is happy to sit through a couple of hours of strolling through London’s most iconic spots, this could be a perfect fit. Keep in mind, it’s not suitable for wheelchair users, and it requires some walking and outdoor time, so dress appropriately.

What to Expect from the Photoshoot Experience

This experience is all about blending professional photography with a relaxed exploration of London. Kaya, the photographer, is dedicated to capturing your story, whether that’s a personal portrait, a romantic couple session, or joyful family moments. The whole vibe is friendly and unhurried, which makes a big difference in getting natural-looking photos.

The starting point is Waterloo Station, a central hub that’s easy to find and provides a good launching pad for your stroll. From there, Kaya will guide you through some of London’s most famous sights, like Big Ben and St Paul’s Cathedral. Expect to spend about 30 minutes at Big Ben, soaking in the views and snapping photos from different angles. Then, you’ll move on to the London Eye, giving you plenty of opportunities for fun, candid shots.

The itinerary is flexible but typically includes a walk over to the Graffiti Tunnel at Waterloo, a colorful spot perfect for urban-style shots, and a gentle visit to St Dunstan’s, a charming and less crowded location. The walk between spots allows for casual conversations and lets Kaya capture spontaneous moments. The entire session lasts between one and two hours, depending on your preferences and pace.

Once your shoot wraps, Kaya will edit your images to bring out the best in each shot. You can look forward to a collection of high-resolution photos that truly reflect your experience in London. Reviews indicate that the quality of the images is a highlight, with many mentioning how gorgeous and natural they look. Expect a mix of posed and candid shots, with guidance from the photographer to help you feel comfortable.

Within one to two weeks, you’ll receive access to a private online gallery. This makes it easy to view, download, and share your photos — no need for physical prints unless you choose to order them separately. It’s a straightforward process, and most travelers find the quick turnaround very convenient.
