What you’ll experience
Why choose Holiday session in Barcelona?
Most trips to Barcelona are built around timed tickets — the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, a museum — and the free hours fall in between. The holiday session goes in the one slot those tickets never use: early morning. At seven the Gothic Quarter is quiet, the pond in Plaça de Gaudí still reflects the basilica without three hundred people around it, and the whole family can be photographed somewhere recognisable without anybody being marched across the city. By the time the ticketed day begins, the session is over and breakfast is next. Put it near the start of the trip rather than on the last morning, so there is a spare day if the weather turns and the gallery reaches you while you are still here.
When to book in Barcelona
Seven in the morning is the hour, in every season, because it is the one time the centre belongs to residents. In summer that is shortly after sunrise and the light is already warm; in winter it is still dark at seven, so the slot moves to around half past eight, when the streets are just as quiet. Late September brings the Mercè festival around the 24th, which is lively but fills the old town, and the night of 23 June, Sant Joan, leaves the beaches crowded and littered the next morning. For a sesión de fotos de vacaciones in July or August, plan nothing outdoors after ten.

“We are very happy with our photo session. Everything was straightforward, from the booking to the final delivery. The photographer caught spontaneous moments and not just the usual posed pictures. A fantastic memento of our trip around Spain.”

Best locations
Where to shoot in Barcelona.
Where a holiday session goes depends mostly on where you are staying and who is coming. For a family with grandparents, the simplest plan is one recognisable place with somewhere to sit: Plaça de Gaudí in front of the Sagrada Família before eight, with the basilica reflected in the pond, then breakfast nearby. For a group that walks easily, the old town gives three locations within ten minutes on Premium — the cathedral square, Sant Felip Neri and the lanes of the Born — and none of them needs a ticket. Visitors staying at the beach end of the city can start on Bogatell and walk inland. The places we steer you away from are the paid monumental zone of Park Güell, where organised shoots are not allowed, and the inside of the Sagrada Família, which does not admit them either. Neither loss matters much: the free part of Park Güell, above the paid area, is open and looks over the whole city. As vacation photographers we would rather spend your half hour walking than queuing.
FAQ — Holiday session in Barcelona
We are staying near the beach, not in the old town. Does that change anything?
It makes sunrise easier. From the Barceloneta or Poblenou you can be on Bogatell as the sun comes out of the sea and walk into the Born afterwards; on Classic and Premium that is one continuous route on foot.
Can the photographer meet us at our hotel?
If the hotel is in or next to the old town, the Born or the seafront, yes, and we start walking from the door. If it is further out, we meet at the first location instead, so the session time is not spent in a taxi.
What if it rains on the morning we booked?
Light rain or a grey sky we shoot through; the old town under cloud is soft and even. If it is heavy, we move the session to another morning of your stay at no cost, which is why we suggest booking early in the trip.
Holiday session in Barcelona: how much does it cost?
