Discovering the Experience

The private editorial photoshoot begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or designated meeting point in Krong Siem Reap, usually by tuk tuk, which adds a fun local flavor. The duration ranges from 2 to 4 hours, giving plenty of time to explore different locations or focus on one stunning backdrop. The flexibility is key—whether you want iconic shots at Angkor Wat or more intimate, candid-style images in Siem Reap’s winding streets or lush green spaces.

What Makes This Photoshoot Unique?

Unlike typical tourist photos, this experience emphasizes a personalized, magazine-quality result. Your photographer, Sonya Moore, or her team, works closely with you to understand your style and preferences. They assist with posing and styling guidance, making even camera-shy travelers feel at ease. As one reviewer noted, “They really make you relax and have fun, even if you’re not used to being photographed.”

You can also opt for styling guidance beforehand, ensuring your outfits and accessories complement your desired look. For those wanting to elevate their appearance even further, professional hair and makeup can be added as an extra.

The Locations

The main highlight is the choice of locations. Some prefer the classic Angkor Wat backdrop, with its intricate stone carvings and sunrise magic, while others might gravitate toward lesser-known spots in Siem Reap, which can offer more artistic or urban settings.

A review mentioned a “hidden gem” photo stop lasting about 1.5 hours, which suggests these locations are carefully selected for their photogenic quality and relative tranquility, away from the tourist crowds.

The Logistics

The transportation is simple and local, mainly tuk tuk rides, which add a charming Cambodian touch. The entire process is designed to be smooth, with skip-the-line convenience and a flexible schedule. The experience is private, meaning you won’t be sharing the lens with strangers, ensuring an intimate setting where your personality can shine through.

Breakdown of the Itinerary

The experience typically starts with a pickup from your accommodation in Krong Siem Reap and a short tuk tuk ride, which often takes around 20 minutes to reach the selected location. The choice of a hidden gem or iconic site adds variety, helping your images stand out from standard selfies.

The 1.5-hour stop at a less crowded but highly photogenic spot ensures you get quality shots in a peaceful atmosphere. During this time, your photographer is focused entirely on capturing natural, flattering poses, and helping you feel confident in front of the camera.

A second short tuk tuk ride usually brings you back to your hotel, completing a flexible, relaxed session.

Additional Considerations

While the experience is flexible and private, it’s worth noting that planning ahead for styling or special requests can enhance your photos. If you choose to add professional hair and makeup, you’ll want to schedule that in advance to avoid last-minute stress.

The duration (2-4 hours) allows for a quick, fun session or a more in-depth shoot, depending on your preferences. This makes it adaptable whether you’re short on time or want to make the most of your day.

Pricing and Value

Though the exact cost isn’t specified here, the inclusion of professionally edited images, guidance, and personalized locations suggests a premium service. However, considering the quality of photos and the tailored experience, many travelers find it offers good value for money compared to standard souvenir photos.
