How long is each session?
Mini: 30 minutes · Standard: 60 minutes · Premium: 90 minutes. Time includes short walks between chosen spots.
How many photos will I get?
Mini: 15 edited · Classic: 40+ edited · Premium: 60+ edited. Each package also includes all technically successful unedited images.
When will I receive my photos?
Final edited photos are delivered within 7–14 days after the shooting.
What if it rains or snows?
Light rain/snow can look magical. For heavy weather, we’ll reschedule to the nearest available slot at no extra cost.
What should we wear?
For photoshoots at the Christmas market, I recommend wearing layers to stay cozy and add depth to your look. Bright accessories, especially scarves, bring a festive touch and make your outfit pop in photos. Try to skip backpacks, since there’s usually nowhere to leave them. And if you can, choose something more fun than a plain black puffer — but honestly, even a puffer looks so much better with a statement scarf.
What’s the best time of day?
Sessions run from 09:00 to 17:00. For twinkle lights and cozy ambience, late afternoon is ideal; weekdays are quieter than weekends.
How do we book and pay?
A 50% down payment is required to book your session. The remaining balance is paid after the shoot, either in cash or using the same method. Accepted payment methods are PayPal, bank transfer (IBAN), and cash.
What’s your reschedule/cancellation policy?
For cancellations made 3 days or less before the shoot, 100% of the fee is charged.
Can you help us avoid crowds?
Yes—weekday timing, smart routes, and quick micro-setups. Premium allows more time for quieter corners.
Do you retouch skin and clothing?
Natural, flattering edits: color, light, gentle skin cleanup, object removal. Advanced retouching is available as an add-on.
Where do we meet?
After booking, we’ll connect via WhatsApp chat to coordinate — we’ll discuss the route, meeting point, and all the necessary details there.
Accessibility & strollers
Most markets are accessible; some cobblestones/steps. Tell me if you have a special request.
What languages do you speak?
English, Russian, German.
Is Vienna safe at the markets?
Yes, generally very safe. As everywhere, watch your bags in crowds and keep valuables close.
