The spots that work
- Brouwersgracht and Leidsegracht: bridges, leaning houses, bikes, few people early in the morning.
- Magere Brug: the white bridge lit at night, see the page.
- Jordaan: lanes and colourful facades, good light late in the afternoon.
- Vondelpark: greenery and quiet paths, see the page.
- Tulips and windmills: spring only; off season the photographer suggests other settings.
Preparing your session
- Book for the late-day light; have a rainy-day plan B, as rain is common in Amsterdam.
- Choose plain colours that stand out against brick and water.
- Do not count on a drone: the rules are strict, see drones in Amsterdam.
- For a proposal, tell the photographer in advance, see the marriage proposal in Amsterdam.
To complete the trip, read romantic Amsterdam or the Amsterdam honeymoon.
