Traveling to Paris and want to leave behind the endless selfies for some professional-quality images? This Eiffel and La Seine Photo Shoot offers a captivating way to capture your moments with high-definition photos in one of the world’s most photogenic cities. Offered by a local Paris photographer, this quick yet memorable experience promises more than just snapshots — it’s about creating authentic memories with expert guidance.
What we really like about this experience is its affordability and flexibility.

This tour suits couples, families, or solo travelers who want professional photos in front of iconic Paris landmarks. It’s especially good for those with tight schedules or who prefer a more personal, relaxed interaction with a photographer rather than large group tours.

What to Expect from the Photoshoot

This experience begins at 2 Rue Nélaton in the 15th arrondissement, a convenient starting point near public transportation and close to many Parisian sights. The photographer will start by leading you to the Bir Hakeim Bridge, a favorite spot for capturing the Eiffel Tower with fewer crowds and stunning angles. The bridge’s unique architecture, combined with the Eiffel Tower in the background, makes for a striking shot.
From there, you’ll walk to an avenue with a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower, giving you both a different perspective and a chance to explore a quieter, less tourist-heavy part of Paris. Finally, the photographer will guide you along the Seine River, offering scenic backdrops with the water and bridges adding that quintessential Parisian flair.
Throughout the session, you’ll strike several poses, but the real draw is the expert eye of your photographer, who knows where to position you for the best lighting and framing. Based on reviews, the photographer is known for being friendly, professional, and attentive, ensuring each shot captures your best side while making you feel comfortable.
Important to note: Access into the Eiffel Tower is not included, so while the photos will be spectacular, you won’t be able to go inside during this session. The focus remains on capturing memorable exterior shots.
