The Meeting Point: Starting outside McDonald’s offers a familiar, accessible location — no stress trying to find the spot. From there, the photographer takes the lead, tailoring the session to your style and preferences.

The Bryanston Pine Forest, in particular, gets high praise for its serene beauty and lush trees, giving your photos a fresh, natural vibe.

When evaluating the $60 price tag, consider what you’re getting: professional-quality images, expert guidance, scenic locations, and a memorable experience. For many, this is a better deal than trying to take selfies or relying on smartphone shots, especially given the quality and edited finish of the photos.
However, since transportation isn’t included, travelers should plan how to reach the meeting point and each location. The walking involved is manageable but consider that some locations might require a short stroll.
