Private Vacation Photo Shoot
Meet Michael
If you've explored our Vienna Travel Guide or browsed through Muvamo's photos, you've already seen my work. Photography is my way of showing how beautiful the world can be - and my goal is to help you capture a little of that beauty for yourself. I started photographing Vienna's streets and architecture over ten years ago, and the city still surprises me. That sense of discovery is what I bring to every session.
When I'm not photographing travel content, I focus mainly on wedding and couple photography. Over the years, my work has been recognized internationally:
Two-time first-place winner at the Austrian Wedding Award, Austria's leading wedding photography competition. Represented Austria at the World Photographic Cup - the Olympics of photography.
I know this city inside out - the courtyards that catch the last light, the passages where the morning sun creates perfect backlit portraits, the quiet squares where you won't compete with tour groups. I'll guide you to the best spots for light, atmosphere, and energy that match your personality. Couple photoshoot, solo portrait, or family session - we'll capture your time here in a way that feels relaxed, natural, and beautifully you.

Book a Private Photographer in Vienna
Whether you're planning a couple photoshoot, a family session, or a surprise proposal - a private session with a photographer who knows this city turns your trip into something you'll keep forever.
Unlike platforms that match you with random photographers and charge per photo, you're booking directly with Michael Föls - an award-winning Vienna photographer who has been capturing this city for over a decade. One fixed price, 75-100 edited images, no per-photo fees.
Photographing Vienna for over a decade, we know every courtyard, passage, and golden-hour angle in the city center. From the Albertina Terrace and the State Opera to quiet spots most visitors never find - that local knowledge is the difference between a nice photo and an extraordinary one. We photograph couples, families, solo travelers, and special occasions like proposals, honeymoons, and anniversaries - all included in one straightforward package.
Every Vienna photoshoot starts with a conversation. You tell us your dates, your style, and what matters to you - a romantic golden-hour session at the Volksgarten, a lively morning walk through the old town, or a surprise proposal. We'll build a custom route and handle the timing so you get the best light and the fewest crowds. During the session, we give relaxed, natural direction that works for people who've never had a professional photoshoot before. We can also shoot outside the city center - just tell us your wishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if it rains?
We can decide according to your preferences - light showers can look cinematic. If the forecast turns, we work with you to adjust timing or route. And if conditions make it impossible, we'll reschedule or cancel at no extra cost.
Can we come with multiple people (family, friends)?
Absolutely. Just note that with more people, each individual will have slightly fewer shots, but we'll make sure everyone is beautifully captured. The largest session we've done was a family of 15 across 4 groups, and we'd say that's about the maximum we can handle.
What should we wear?
Neutral or solid tones work best with Vienna's architecture. Avoid large logos or busy patterns. Layers and light accessories help add variety quickly.
How long does it take to receive our photos?
You'll receive your edited gallery within 14 days after the shoot. Express delivery is available on request.
Do you offer engagement or proposal shoots?
Yes - and it's included in the standard package at no extra cost. As an experienced proposal photographer in Vienna, we'll help with location scouting, timing, positioning, and discretion. We've coordinated many surprise proposals and know the best spots in Vienna for the perfect moment. The only thing you need to worry about is the ring.
Can we print the photos?
Of course. The high-resolution files are perfect for both digital and printed use.
Can we gift a Vienna photoshoot to someone?
Yes! Just contact us and we'll send you a voucher.
What if we're camera-shy or feel awkward in photos?
That's actually most of our clients. We don't do stiff poses or forced smiles. Instead, we'll walk with you through Vienna, chat, give light prompts, and capture genuine moments in between. Most couples tell us they forgot they were being photographed after the first few minutes. No experience needed - just bring yourselves and we'll handle the rest.
Do you travel to other destinations?
While Vienna is our home base, we occasionally accept private destination bookings in nearby European cities upon request. Just contact us for individual pricing and requests.
How much does a private photographer in Vienna cost?
Our all-inclusive package is €450 for a 90-minute session with 75-100 edited images. There are no per-photo fees, no add-ons, and no hidden costs. You get the full curated gallery and work directly with the photographer.
What are the best photo locations in Vienna?
We'll recommend locations based on your style and the time of day. Popular choices include the Albertina Terrace, the State Opera, the Burggarten, Heldenplatz, and the Volksgarten. We also know quieter spots that most tourists and photographers don't use - hidden courtyards, covered passages with beautiful natural light, and backstreets with classic Viennese architecture. We'll build your route based on the time of day and what feels right for you.
When is the best time of day for a photoshoot in Vienna?
The hour or two before sunset gives the warmest, most flattering light and works beautifully with Vienna's sandstone and baroque facades. We also love early morning sessions when the city center is quiet and you have the grand squares almost to yourself. We'll recommend the best timing based on your travel dates and the season.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend reaching out at least two weeks before your trip, especially during peak season (May to October). Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible depending on availability.
