Annecy asks for a compromise no other place does. The old town, with its canals and painted fronts, wants early or late light like anywhere else; the water only shows its colour between about ten and four, when the sun is steep enough to reach the bottom. Doing both well means two short sessions rather than one long one.

Locations
Best photo locations in Annecy
Where to shoot in Annecy, when the light is best, and what each place needs.
Pont des Amours et canaux du vieil Annecy
- Best time
- Before 09:00
- Permits
- Free — public streets and bridges
Painted fronts over green water, and a bridge that carries a steady queue of visitors from mid-morning to dusk. Empty at eight, impossible at eleven.
Rives du lac, côté Sévrier
- Best time
- 11:00 – 15:00, for the colour of the water
- Permits
- Free — public shore
The turquoise only appears with the sun high, which is why this is the one location we book at midday. Mountains behind, and enough shore to work along.
When to visit Annecy for photos
June to September for the water. October gives the mountains their first snow with the lake still warm-toned. Winter is often clear and cold, with the peaks white behind the old town, and almost nobody there.

Reviews from Annecy
“We booked a family session in Annecy and were impressed by the entire experience. The photographer knew the area extremely well and found beautiful backgrounds around the lake. We received a great variety of photos, from traditional family portraits to candid moments.”

These come under the Annecy rate: a photographer travels out from the city at no extra charge, and the session is priced exactly as it would be in Annecy itself.

Photographer in Annecy: your questions
Can we get the old town and the lake in one session?
Only by accepting that one of them will be at the wrong hour. If the turquoise water matters to you, we shoot the lake at midday and the old town at eight the next morning — two short sessions rather than one that compromises both.
How much does a photographer in Annecy cost?
Sessions in Annecy start at €150 (corporate headshots). For example: holiday session from €180, elopement from €750, studio portrait from €160. The price covers the session, the editing and a private gallery, and it is confirmed in writing before you book.
How quickly will we receive our photos?
Your edited photographs arrive in a private online gallery within 48–72 hours of your session in Annecy. 24-hour delivery is available as an option.
