A birthday by the sea, an anniversary, a hen party, a graduation or a family celebration — in Alanya such events are remembered for a long time. Especially if there is a photographer and videographer, not just a phone with blurry shots. Here is how to plan the celebration and its photography.

Where to celebrate in Alanya

  • Yacht — a birthday on the open sea with swimming and a sunset. More — in the article about yacht photo shoots.
  • Restaurant or terrace with a view of the castle and the sea.
  • Villa with a pool — for a group and a party.
  • Beach picnic at sunset — cosy and beautiful for photos.

How to plan the event so the photos turn out well

  • Start before sunset: the first 1–1.5 hours fall into the golden hour — the best shots of guests and group photos.
  • Plan a group photo of all guests at the beginning, while everyone is fresh and dressed up.
  • Think through the key moments: the cake, speeches, a surprise, a dance — tell the photographer about them in advance.
  • Decor: balloons, flowers, signs look better in photos in one colour palette.

Photo, video or both

The photographer captures reportage and posed portraits: emotions, details, guests. The videographer keeps the voices, speeches, music and atmosphere — you get a film or a short clip for social media. A drone adds spectacular shots of the yacht, villa or beach from above.

  • Videography — from €200 for 60 minutes, editing extra.
  • Drone filming — from €250 for 60 minutes.
  • Photography — from €100 for 30 minutes, one hour with hotel pickup — €150.

How many hours of shooting you need

For a small birthday or picnic 1–2 hours are enough. For a party at a villa or on a yacht with a programme — 3–4 hours, to capture both the preparations and the main moments. We will plan the time so that the shoot covers the golden hour and the highlight of the event.

Children’s birthday

For a children’s party choose a time when the kids are lively — the morning or late evening, when the heat eases. Bring balloons and soap bubbles — children play with them and the shots come alive. More tips — in the article “Family photo shoot with children”.
