If you’re planning a trip to Florence and want to preserve your memories in a truly authentic way, a personalized photoshoot might be just what you’re looking for. While many travelers focus on visiting famous landmarks like the Duomo or Uffizi Gallery, this experience offers something more intimate: a relaxed, fun, and highly customizable photo session guided by a local photographer who knows Florence’s hidden gems.
From the stunning light that bathes the city’s streets to the charming, lesser-known corners, this tour is perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone celebrating a special moment like a proposal. Two things we really love about this experience are its emphasis on natural, unstaged photographs and the local guides’ insider knowledge of Florence’s quietest, most photogenic spots.
A potential consideration is that the session lasts around an hour, which might feel short if you’re hoping for a comprehensive sightseeing tour—though that’s not the goal here. This experience suits travelers who want professional photos that reflect their personal connection to Florence, rather than a cookie-cutter set of posed images.

Why Choose This Florence Photoshoot?
Imagine wandering through Florence’s narrow alleys and discovering a quiet courtyard bathed in the golden hour’s glow. That’s where this experience shines—taking you off the beaten path and into the city’s more intimate spaces. The local photographer understands the city’s best light and lesser-known spots that Instagram misses, which means your photos will have a genuine Florence vibe rather than looking staged.
