Holiday photographer in Velden am Wörthersee

A holiday photographer in Velden am Wörthersee is a photographer who meets visitors during their stay and photographs them as they are on holiday — couples, families or friends — so that everyone is in the pictures, not just the person holding the phone. Velden works well for this because so much is reachable without a car. The boat operator lists the Velden landing stage at Schlosspark 1, a few steps from the castle hotel, with the town centre and the Kurpark each about 350 metres away, a nextbike rental right beside the jetty and the Velden bus station about 500 metres away. The railway station is about one kilometre from the lake.

A holiday session usually lasts an hour and is booked early in the stay so that a rainy day still leaves room to reschedule. Many guests meet the photographer at the landing stage, walk along the shore and finish at a café or on the jetty. In high summer, sunrise around 5.25 in mid-July gives the shore almost to yourselves. The edited gallery arrives a few days after the session, often while you are still at the lake.
