What to Expect During the Session

When you book this private photo shoot, you’re signing up for 1.5 hours of dedicated photography time in the heart of Lucerne’s most photogenic areas. The photographer, Alon, will guide you through the scenic Old Town, featuring its charming alleys and historic buildings, as well as iconic spots like Chapel Bridge and Lake Lucerne. The Lion Monument, with its striking sculpture, provides a powerful backdrop that captures both the city’s character and its artistic heritage.

Throughout the session, Alon’s approach is friendly and encouraging. Many reviews highlight his ability to make clients feel comfortable, which is especially valuable if you’re camera-shy. His keen eye for lighting and composition means you’ll likely be surprised at how natural and flattering your photos turn out. He also offers gentle tips on posing – the kind of advice that helps you relax and be yourself in front of the camera.

The Scenic Spots and Their Charm

Chapel Bridge is possibly Lucerne’s most famous sight. Its picturesque covered walkway and the water surrounding it make for timeless photos. Expect to take shots during different times of day for the best lighting, especially if you’re there early or late when crowds are thinner.

The Lion Monument is another must-see, providing a dramatic and emotional centerpiece. Its textured stone and poignant symbolism are perfect for more artistic portraits or travel storytelling shots.

Lake Lucerne offers a tranquil backdrop with stunning reflections and mountain views in the distance, ideal for capturing the serenity of your trip.

Old Town alleys are full of character, with colorful facades and cobbled streets that add vibrant life to your photos.

The Photos and Delivery

One of the biggest perks of this experience is the combined package of both edited and unedited photos. You’ll receive 20 images that are professionally retouched for quality and clarity, delivered via email or a download link within three days. In addition, you’ll get around 80-100 high-resolution unedited images, giving you a broad selection to choose from or share with friends and family.

This dual approach means you’re not only getting polished results but also a treasure trove of raw moments that capture your genuine expressions.
