Awesome experience and pictures that will last a lifetime. Walked from Buckingham Palace to Big Ben with loads of pictures in between. At the suggestion of the photographer, we moved our time slot back to twilight vs midday and the pictures turned out fantastic. Pictures were available same night for download. Highly recommend!
Short, rushed experience with little direction. Many of the photos that were sent as the finished products had somebody’s eyes shut in them if more pictures have been taken more options would be available.
Mehr was my photographer in September 2023 and was willing to take different photos and poses with me. We stayed around Buckingham Palace and the river Thames per my request, and these were of course popular locations, though she tried to find lesser used spots for the photos. It was a good experience and great value. I wouldn’t use it solely for all photos, but I thought it was handy to have a fellow photographer rather than my tripod to focus.
SR was wonderful. Friendly & personable. We had a great time and have beautiful photographs to remember my mom’s 80th birthday in London.
I highly recommend this experience. It is definitely something worth taking a venture into especially if you are a solo traveler. The only reason I provided three stars instead of five is because the original agreed-upon time was not kept. I showed up and waited for my photographer for over an hour before I gave up and left. However, I did reach out numerous times and after several attempts, the company did make it right by rescheduling. I do want to add if I had another engagement I would’ve had to cancel however I was able to show up for the rescheduling and Dana did a magnificent job with my photos.
The photographer Daniel was very nice and professional. He came on time and took some fabulous shots.
SR was awesome to work with! He was extremely accommodating and willing to meet me and my husband at 6:30 am to get those good lighting photos before the crowds! He worked hard to get my dream photos captured and gave an excellent result:) I’m very happy with my experience!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Smiler London who captured our girls trip beautifully! From candid moments to carefully staged shots, their keen eye for detail and creativity made the experience super memorable! They effortlessly highlighted the essence of our time together, delivering stunning photos that we'll cherish for years.💯
Overall a good experience. We had Mano as our photographer and he was very nice. We really enjoyed him and what I am about to say is a reflection of the tour operator and not him personally. The photographer contacted us prior to the shoot to introduce himself and kept in touch the morning of, however, we did not get to see images of his work prior to the shoot. I was very disheartened to learn (day of) that I was not able to preview and select my 25 images. I only like about 5 images out of the 25 and no individual shots that were taken, were included in the deck of 25, which was sad. The 5 I do like are of good quality and I am thankful for that, however, I’ve done these shoots all over the world, and this was my first experience where I’ve not been allowed to select the 25 images I am purchasing. Our friend flew us to London for a well deserved break and we splurged for this opportunity to take Christmas card pictures and unfortunately, only a handful were flattering. I know there are more images out there, as he did show us great shots on the camera, but I can only see/acquire those if I pay additionally for the full deck and that does not feel like a fair practice. We all view ourselves differently than the photographer, and the customer should be able to select the images they feel most beautiful, not vice versa. This was a lot of money for only a handful of images. Also, I do wish we would have discussed weather prior, as the photographer called and rescheduled our shoot the morning of due to weather and that threw our weekend plans off. A 24 hour weather call policy should be in place in order for guests to better plan their day. I know the weather can change but even calling the night prior would have been a huge benefit. This would have been a 5 Star experience if a better weather plan was in place and if I could have selected my 25 images. I would HIGHLY suggest the tour operator place a disclaimer letting guests know they are unable to select their 25 paid images, prior to booking.
Perfect photo shooting day by a nice and professional photographer 'Daniel' . He contacted me in advance for meet up arrangement. During the photo shooting tour, he also introduced the landmarks along the tour as a guide.
Great experienced photographer captured the best locations for our family and individual shots. Very friendly and just the perfect amount of time at each location
Awesome pictures by a skilled photographer we would totally do this again. We have the most amazing pictures that are literally magazine worthy!
Daniel is an amazing photographer. He is very friendly and gave great prompts for the camera to keep us comfortable. He showed us the iconic spots and gave great information about them. He captured everything we wanted and gave us beautiful photos to remember our London trip with!
Mehr was a great photographer! She was flexible and a good communicator. I appreciated having someone else take pictures of my family instead of it always being me! :)
I was thankfully paired with Mehr for my photography session and she was amazing to work with! She reached out to me a few days in advance and shared her portfolio showcasing her work. She has great communication skills and is very easy to work with. As we progressed through the photo session, she made sure to show me the photographs she had taken and asked if I would like to retake anything. I loved every single photo she had taken. I told her that I don't like having my photos taken so I was pretty much clueless about poses so she made sure to make suggestions along the way ensuring my photos came out beautiful. Her photographs were amazing! I have received so many compliments on them since they have been posted. I would highly recommend Mehr Farahani to anyone. Not to mention that I would book her again next time :)
During our session in London, Mehr not only showed incredible patience with our fussy one-year-old but also managed to create a series of beautiful photographs that give us the perfect snapshot of our trip to London. We were especially impressed by Mehr's ability to work with natural light, and use the surrounding sights to capture our photos. We highly recommend Mehr to anyone wanting to preserve the memories of their visit to London!
We did a photoshoot with Mehr and it was delightful! She took us to all the best places for a great shot and was fantastic with our three children (it's not easy to get them all looking at the camera and smiling). We really enjoyed our time and the photos are beautiful. Our Christmas card is ready and we are ordering several enlargements for our home. I've never booked a vacation photoshoot before but after this experience I would 100% do it again. One suggestion - wish the platform would let the customer choose which photos are included in the bundle, but we ended up with so many great shots it worked out.
Dana provided an exceptional photo shoot experience for our family in London, showcasing patience, creativity, and an extraordinary ability to engage with children. They expertly captured beautiful moments against iconic landmarks, never rushing and always suggesting the best spots. Dana's combination of professionalism and warmth makes them highly recommendable for memorable photography.
Fantastic family photos! Mehr knew where to go for less crowds and great backgrounds. Turnaround was really fast. Would recommend! 👍
Dana was awesome and took amazing photos of me. Lovely experience. Perfect excursion for solo travelers.
Mehr was very knowledgeable on the best poses and locations to capture amazing photos. our photos are beautiful, and the turnaround time to receive them was very fast! would definitely recommend smiler and Mehr.
Dana was not only a master behind the camera but also a true professional. She arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel at ease throughout the session. I would highly recommend.
Mehr’s photography skills were phenomenal and embodied everything I wanted for how I envisioned my photos to come out. As a solo traveller, I wasn’t satisfied with taking my own photos and happened to stumble upon her work. Easy to work with, made the process simple and even assisted with poses during the shoot! She made my trip one to remember with the beautiful views that I will cherish for a lifetime, thank you Mehr!
Mehr captured our family's essence in stunning London scenes! She was patient, knowledgeable, and remarkably talented. I am thrilled to have these memories captured so beautifully. I would indeed book her again.
Srujan was an amazing photographer. Worked with us on locations and helped us with getting the best pictures. He was so nice, encouraging to us, and just down right fun to take pictures with. If you book he is one to book with! Thank you Srujan for an amazing experience with my best friend.
We had a great experience. Mehr was FABULOUS and personable. She cared about what we really wanted and truly listened - and delivered! Far exceeded our expectations and I would book with her again in a heartbeat. There was a snag while we were here because of the Underground strikes, and Mehr kept in real-time touch with us to make sure the timing would work out. She turned around the photos within 24 hours and I am swooning over them. I have attached my Top 4 favorites! Thank you so much Mehr, it was a pleasure meeting you! x
I did a solo travel and was hesitant at first bc I wouldn’t have a way to take my own photos to capture memories. Booking a session with Mehr was the best decision I could’ve made. She responded to all my messages promptly and was understanding of my needs. She was the best!
We did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with oue photographer who guided us and took amazing pictures. It was a lot of fun at the same time.
Our photographer was a pleasure to work with. Very kind and motivated to get the best shots of us. Thank you Srujan!
Most patient an amazing photographer with great skills Zach is amazing and very patient specially with my kids and provided as the great ideas for photos
It was a great experience. My first time taking pictures with a professional. The result was great.
A really satisfying experience for the whole family! Daniel was able to quickly put us at ease and capture very nice photos in front of Buckingham, London Eye, Westminster and Big Ben. This makes us great memories, with incredible photo qualities! Thanks again! I recommend this experience without problem.
