Why Consider This Photoshoot?

If you’ve ever tried to take your own photos in front of London’s landmarks, you’ll know how tricky it can be to get the angles right, especially if you’re traveling alone or with kids. This private session takes that stress off your shoulders. A professional photographer will make sure you’re both looking your best, and the backdrop of the London Eye adds that instantly recognizable appeal to your photos.
The duration of about 15 minutes** makes it a quick addition to your day. It’s not a full tour — just enough time to get a handful of well-composed shots. Past participants have found the experience pleasant and well-organized, with one reviewer mentioning how Jordi managed to navigate a rainy day smoothly, even in less-than-ideal weather. This shows that even if weather isn’t perfect, your photos can still turn out great.

What the Experience Entails

Your booking is confirmed ahead of time, meaning you know exactly when and where to meet — at the Southbank Centre in London. It’s a central, easily accessible spot, close to public transportation. The session begins at the scheduled time, so punctuality is key. If you’re running late, the session will still end at the planned time, so plan accordingly.
On the day, a friendly photographer will greet you and guide you through the shoot. Since it’s private, they’ll be able to customize the session based on your preferences — be it solo shots, a couple’s portrait, or a family photo. Past reviews highlight how accommodating Jordi was, especially navigating tricky weather or finding a quiet, private spot for the photos.
Photos are delivered as digital files, high-resolution and professionally edited. You’ll have the images within 48 hours, ready to share on social media or print as keepsakes. If you want prints, you can order them separately via your own link after receiving the photos.
Detailed Breakdown of the Experience
Meeting Point and Timing
The starting point is the Southbank Centre, a lively spot near lots of London attractions and public transit options. Because the session is only about 15 minutes, arriving a little early helps you settle in and avoid missing your slot. The session ends back at the starting point, so no need to worry about transport afterwards.
The Photoshoot
The actual photo session is designed to be straightforward and relaxed. The photographer will guide you on poses but also encourage natural, candid shots. Many reviews emphasize the professionalism and friendly attitude of the photographer, Jordi, who was notably praised for navigating the shoot through weather challenges and finding a secluded spot for privacy.

Photos and Delivery
Once the shoot is over, your pictures are edited with care, and you’ll receive a link to download high-resolution images within 48 hours. The editing process ensures your photos are polished, with good lighting and color correction, making your London memories shine.
Cost and Value
At roughly $99.80 for up to 10 people, this experience offers good value — especially considering the quality of photos and the private nature of the session. Compared to typical professional shoots, it’s affordable, and the quick turnaround means you can share your images promptly.
Considerations
One review pointed out that the location instructions from the operator were inaccurate, leading to some initial confusion. So, double-check the meeting details once confirmed and be punctual. Also, keep in mind that the activity relies on good weather; if it’s canceled due to rain or other conditions, you’ll be offered a full refund or a reschedule.
Who Will Love This?

This experience appeals most to travelers who want a personalized souvenir of their London trip without the fuss of a long tour. It’s especially suitable for those celebrating a special occasion — birthdays, anniversaries, or just a memorable trip — since the photos can become keepsakes.
It’s also great for solo travelers or small groups seeking high-quality images with iconic London sights as the backdrop. Families can enjoy it too, but keep in mind it’s a quick session, so it’s best suited for a few posed shots rather than all-day photography.
Final Thoughts
If you’re after a hassle-free way to immortalize your London visit with professional photos, this private shoot outside the London Eye is worth considering. It offers a blend of convenience, quality, and privacy, making it a smart choice for busy travelers who want a special memento without dedicating hours to a photo tour.
Remember, the key to a successful shoot is punctuality and a bit of planning around the weather. With the positive feedback from past clients and the high-quality digital images promised, it’s a solid way to add a personal touch to your London experience.
While it might not suit someone looking for a lengthy, in-depth photography session or a full sightseeing tour, if you want quick, well-composed photos in a prime location, this is a practical, enjoyable option.
