Meet our Travel of the Week Natasha from Live Learn Venture as she shares her Shoot My Travel experience with us!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE looking back at trip memories. When I travel, I like to collect bits and pieces from my travel experience to enjoy later on. This includes buying a small souvenir for my travel wall, keeping a couple of small items like ticket stubs and postcards, and of course photographs from my trip!

While we’ll always carry travel memories in our hearts and minds, it’s also fun to look back at trip reminders to think about the fun times that we had. Thanks to Shoot My Travel, I have some great photographs from my recent trip to Barcelona. If you’re looking to really capture a travel experience, I recommend hiring a company like Shoot My Travel. Here are 4 reasons to hire vacation photographers for your next trip.

1. A Photographer Will Know the Local Area

Travel photographers know the local area. This can be a huge benefit because they know the best places to get a stunning photograph or the best time to schedule your shoot so you can avoid large crowds to tourists. They can also recommend certain parts of town if you’re unsure where you’d like to have your photos taken. This is also a great way to get insider tips for the rest of your trip. Your photographer may suggest that you check out a café or attraction that is nearby your photo shoot.

2. They Can Capture Special Moments

It can be difficult to take a quality photo of yourself or your family. While #selfies are a thing, they don’t have the same look or feel. And it certainly pays to have a skilled photographer around to take your photo. Working with a vacation photographer gives you the chance to get quality photos and to capture those really special moments. Your photographer is there to take candid shots — which I think are the best kind of photos! And hiring a vacation photographer is a great way to set up and capture an extra special moment, too — such as an engagement!

3. You’ll Have the Perfect Backdrop

Sure, you can take family photos at home — but why would you want to do that when you could have a stunning backdrop while on vacation? When hiring for vacation photography services, you get to choose the backdrop. If you want to have beach photos, gorgeous garden or café views, or a famous monument as your photo background — it’s possible. This can create a truly impressive photo that sure beats using your living room wall as a backdrop.

4. You Will Have a Beautiful Memory of Your Trip

Finally, the best and most important reason to hire a vacation photographer — you will be left with a beautiful memory of your trip. You can look back at your trip for many years to come. While a souvenir or postcard may be a cool purchase idea, a photograph is a lasting and beautiful way to experience a memory again. This can also be a great way to share your adventures with loved ones — they’ll enjoy looking at your trip photos, too!

And there you have it — 4 reasons to hire vacation photographers for your next trip!

If you’re thinking about hiring a vacation photographer for a future trip, I recommend working with Shoot My Travel. You can browse their available photographers in your destination and find the perfect person who has a style that you love. I chose to work with Carolina from Shoot My Travel — she was perfect! She was lovely to talk to, made my sister and I feel comfortable, and took beautiful photos that we love! If you plan to visit Barcelona — you’ll be so happy with her photos! You can also book photographers for many other destinations.

Take your travel photos to a new level with the help of a vacation photographer. You’ll be so happy that you did!
