Best Photography Spots for a Santiago de Compostela Photoshoot

Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia in northwest Spain, is a city brimming with photographic opportunities. Its historic old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts winding cobblestone streets, centuries-old buildings, and charming squares that are a dream for photographers. The jewel of the city, the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, is a masterpiece of Gothic and Baroque architecture and a prominent subject for artistic shots. The vibrant atmosphere of the Obradoiro Square and the beauty of the Praza de Quintana provide ample material for capturing the essence of the city. Beyond the old town, the verdant Galician landscapes and coastal regions offer even more opportunities for stunning photos. Santiago de Compostela is a destination where history, culture, and natural beauty converge, making it an ideal place for diverse and captivating photography.

Our friends & family traveled to the Bahamas for our wedding. We had a wedding photographer at our resort, but we decided we would like our friends and family to have a separate photo shoot at different locations around the island, so we contacted Local Lens. Best decision ever!

Our photographer was awesome. It was very easy to plan and everything went according to what we asked. The photographer made great suggestions.-Michelle
This shoot was booked as a gift to my friend to have her dream visit to the city and get lovely photos of her in various locations. She thought it was the best gift and loved being the star of the photos. The photos themselves turned out stunning!-Graham
We got engaged! Mike was amazing! Very kind and took amazing photos.-Taylor
We flew out for a surprise proposal. Nothing in particular for Barcelona, was attracted to the idea of a beach photoshoot. Jordi was superb! He arranged what we needed and made it all so simple.-Pav
We booked a shoot because we had a family beach trip!-Kalena
We were on vacation for our daughter’s 1st birthday and our experience was wonderful. Daythan was the absolute best. He was so great with our daughter!

Would book him again in a heartbeat. Great photos and great experience.-Rachel
We had an Anniversary in Cancun, Mexico We wanted to capture the beautiful memories we had in Cancun on our anniversary day. My husband and I truly believe that Laura captured the most beautiful memories that we will cherish forever!

We honestly loved the experience and we felt so comfortable and had a lot of fun, my husband wants to do this experience again with Local Lens and we highly recommend Laura.-Bilkin
Had a Just Because photoshoot for headshots at the WeWork Reforma location - Very nice experience, fantastic photographer!-David
We had a Just Because photoshoot to capture a nice memory. Alina was the best. She is so friendly and open to any ideas.-Kartika
I took a solo trip because I had a limited amount of time in Barcelona, and I wanted to make sure I had enough time to do the things I wanted to do.

I chose Barcelona because it was on my bucket list of things to do. I wanted to book a vacation photoshoot because I wanted memories to keep of the places I went to in Barcelona.

The experience was beyond my expectations. Jordi went above and beyond in making sure I was comfortable. He was completely accommodating and did not make me feel rushed.

To create a better experience, I would have liked a little more direction but then again I'm just really awkward when taking pictures.-Kevin
