Interlaken: Private Photoshoot with a Professional Photographer — a name that promises more than just photos, and often delivers. This experience offers travelers a chance to have personal, professionally taken photos in one of Switzerland’s most photogenic towns. Over two hours, you’ll be guided by an expert photographer through some of Interlaken’s most scenic spots while striking poses that make you feel like a star. It’s a relaxed way to create lasting memories without the hassle of trying to photograph yourself against dramatic mountain backdrops.
What I like about this experience is how it combines the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps with the personalized touch of a professional photographer who knows the area inside out. It’s not just about snapping shots; it’s about capturing the essence of your visit, with high-quality images you can cherish forever. Plus, you get a link to all the photos taken during the shoot, including five professionally edited images. That’s a true plus—no more fighting over which shots to keep.
However, a point to consider is the location’s dependence on weather. Since the photoshoot relies on stunning outdoor scenery, poor weather could diminish the experience or require rescheduling. Also, transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need to arrange your own way to the meeting point. Still, if you’re after a personal touch and beautiful pictures of your Swiss trip, the investment may well be worth it.

What to Expect from a Two-Hour Photoshoot in Interlaken

Upon meeting your photographer in central Interlaken—or in Thun if you prefer—the session begins with a quick chat about your preferred style and any specific shots you’d love to get. Since the experience is private, your guide can focus on creating images that reflect your personality and trip highlights.
The first part of the shoot usually involves a gentle walk through picturesque parts of the town with mountain vistas as the backdrop. Feel free to move naturally and enjoy the moment—no stiff poses here. The photographer, who knows local angles and lighting tricks, will guide you through flattering poses that make you look relaxed and authentic.
After capturing some candid shots, you might venture to other scenic locations—perhaps along the lakeside or with the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks framing your photos. Each location offers a slightly different mood, from serene lakeside views to dramatic mountain scenery. The photographer’s expertise ensures your photos are well-composed and reflect the stunning environment.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a variety of images—some candid, some posed—ready for sharing or printing. The 5 professionally edited images are a bonus, showcasing the best moments in a polished style. The full set of photos, accessible through a shared link, lets you pick favorites or use them for your travel album.
Transportation, Timing, and Practical Details

Since transportation to the meeting point isn’t included, you’ll need to arrange your own way to the central location in Interlaken or Thun. The meeting point in Thun, if chosen, is at the train station, making it convenient if you’re arriving by train. The shoot lasts approximately two hours, which is enough time to explore a few locations without feeling rushed.
Availability varies, so checking the schedule in advance is essential. The experience is offered with flexible starting times, but remember, weather can influence your plans. Rainy days might require rescheduling or choosing indoor spots if available, though outdoor scenery is the main draw.
The price includes the photoshoot, all images, and five edited shots, making it a solid value for couples or individuals wanting professional-quality souvenirs. Keep in mind that meals and transportation aren’t included, so plan accordingly.

Families or groups can book private sessions, but note that mobility issues are a consideration—this experience isn’t suitable for those with mobility impairments.
