If you’re dreaming of having beautiful professional portraits taken during your trip to Paris, this private photoshoot experience could be just what you need. While we haven’t tried this one ourselves, we’ve gone through the details and reviews to give you an honest look at what it offers. It’s a great option for anyone looking to turn their Paris visit into a collection of timeless images, whether you’re solo, a couple, or with family.
What we really appreciate about this experience is the personalized touch — you can stick with the classic Eiffel Tower backdrop or choose a different spot that’s special to you. Also, the photographers’ extensive experience in Paris (over 10 years!) promises a professional touch that can make a real difference in your photos. On the flip side, the one-hour duration means things move quickly, and if you’re hoping for a longer or more elaborate shoot, this might feel a bit brief.
This photoshoot works best for travelers who want quality portraits with a personal flair and don’t mind a short and sweet session. If you’re after stunning, professional photos as a keepsake of your Paris trip, this could be a simple, enjoyable way to get them.

What’s Included and How It Works

This private photoshoot lasts about an hour and is designed to be intimate and flexible. You’ll meet your photographer at a central spot, Pont de Bir Hakeim, next to the horse statue—an easy landmark to find with metro access at Bir Hakeim station. From there, the photographer will guide you through a couple of scenic spots, with the initial focus often on the iconic Eiffel Tower.

Detailed Breakdown of the Experience

Meeting Point and Initial Location
The photoshoot kicks off at Pont de Bir Hakeim, a bridge renowned for its views of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. Meeting next to the horse statue keeps things straightforward. If you’re arriving from the metro, Bir Hakeim station makes it easy to get there without hassle.
The Itinerary and the Scenic Stops
The session includes a walk from Bir Hakeim to Place du Trocadéro, which is considered one of the best viewpoints for photos of the Eiffel Tower. Expect about an hour of dedicated time, where your photographer will pose you, suggest natural candid shots, and help you look your best. Since the photographers are detail-oriented and friendly, you’ll likely feel at ease quickly.
More Great Tours NearbyCustomization and Flexibility
One big perk is the ability to customize your location. If the Eiffel Tower isn’t your favorite backdrop or you want something more unique—perhaps a quiet corner of Montmartre or along the Seine—the team can accommodate. This flexibility makes the experience more personal and memorable.
