Amsterdam photographers for travellers
Amsterdam photoshoot with a local photographer
One hour along the canals, a route planned for the light, and a photographer who tells you exactly where to stand. You fly home with photos of the two of you, and with videos to send your family the same evening.

Real Amsterdam sessions
Photos of you, not of the canals
Everyone flies home with three hundred photos of canal houses and not one good picture of themselves in front of them. These are our Amsterdam clients, photographed by our Amsterdam team this year.
Photoshoots in Amsterdam
Every session includes the route, full posing guidance, a private gallery and the behind-the-scenes videos. Pick the occasion, we plan the rest.
Canal bridges, gabled houses and a photographer who does the talking. Honeymoons, anniversaries, first trips together.
We pick the spot, stay out of sight and photograph the moment you ask. Then a short session for the two of you.
Portraits for your trip, your Instagram or your work, without asking strangers to take your picture.
Families with kids too: nobody under ten has to hold a pose. Compare packages
A tour is over by dinner. These photos stay.
One hour with us costs about the same as a private canal cruise and leaves you with the photo you would otherwise never have: both of you in the frame, in Amsterdam, looking like yourselves.
Never done a photoshoot? Most people haven’t. We tell you where to stand, where to look and when to walk, and ten minutes in you forget the camera.
The experience
What the canal hour feels like
It is a slow walk with someone who knows the city, and the photos happen on the way. This is the hour most couples book.
The start
We meet at a quiet bridge
A spot you can find on a map, near a tram stop. Your photographer is already there, coffee in hand if you like.
The first ten minutes
Walking and talking
The camera stays mostly down. You get used to each other, and we get to know how you move.
The middle of the hour
Three or four backdrops
Houseboats, a canal-house stoop, a bridge with bikes. We tell you where to stand, you just look at each other.
The end
We finish near a café
You sit down, the videos land on your phone that evening, the gallery follows within a week.
Planning included
Surprise proposals in Amsterdam
Rain, a canal pontoon, an umbrella. This proposal was photographed by our Amsterdam photographer, who looked like any other tourist with a camera until the ring came out.
We pick the spot
A bridge or a canal corner that works at your hour.
You get a simple plan
Where to stand, how to get there, how we recognise you.
We photograph the moment
The question and the reaction, then 30 to 40 minutes as a couple.
Videos the same day
Send them to your families before you call.
Where we shoot in Amsterdam
We choose three or four backdrops within a short walk, in the order the light favours.
Jordaan and Brouwersgracht
Houseboats, quiet bridges and the canal-house rows people picture when they think of Amsterdam.
The Nine Streets and Herengracht
Narrow bridges, shop fronts and the grand houses of the canal ring.
Magere Brug and the Amstel
The white drawbridge over wide water. Best early in the day.
Keukenhof and the tulip fields
Half a day out of the city in spring, when the bulbs are in flower.

Why travellers book us
A team, not one diary
Several photographers in Amsterdam, so your date is almost always open, and we match the photographer to your shoot.
A plan made for you
The route and the hour are planned around your dates, not fifteen minutes at one bridge.
Something to send home tonight
Behind-the-scenes videos arrive the same evening.
We tell you what to do
Hands, steps, where to look. Nothing to perform.
Your photos are yours
Full-size files, no watermark, commercial use included.
Other cities too
Coming to London, Paris or Lisbon next? We photograph there as well, the same way.
Who will photograph you
We’re Julia and Anatoly, the founders. We started this after coming home from our own trips with hundreds of phone photos and not one good one of the two of us.
In Amsterdam you are met by one of our Amsterdam photographers, people we work with every week who know the city’s light and its quiet corners. We tell you who is meeting you when we confirm the date.
Good to know before you book
Who can come
Couples, families with kids of any age, friends, dogs. Nobody needs experience in front of a camera.
What to bring
Comfortable shoes for cobbles and bridges, and a layer for the wind off the water. Flowers or props are welcome.
If plans change
Rain or a changed flight: we move the date for free. The deposit is refundable up to 7 days before.
Accessibility
Tell us about prams, wheelchairs or slow walkers and we keep the route short, flat and close to a tram stop.
