The Carpathians – the best place for your photo session

24 May 2023

The Ukrainian Carpathians attract tourists from all over the world with their beauty and crystal-clear air. Majestic mountains and boundless forests, healing mineral springs, lakes, and waterfalls, delicious cuisine and unique color, historical sights, and mystical places of the Carpathians — all this gives the most vivid impressions of the trip.

The best way to preserve good memories of your vacation is to take photos or order a professional photo session. This will allow you to return to the fairytale of the Carpathian Mountains at any time by opening a photo album, a folder on your computer, or a gallery on your smartphone. If you are going to this fabulous magical land, be sure to take a photo session against the backdrop of Carpathian nature!

Professional photo shoot in the Ukrainian Carpathians

The picturesque nature of the Carpathian Mountains, with its crystal lakes, magnificent waterfalls, dense forests, and snow-capped peaks, is the best location for a photo shoot! You will not find a more magical, majestic, and authentic place, so a trip here is the perfect reason to order the services of a professional photographer. Adventure, romantic, or family photo sessions in nature should be of decent quality: forget about unsuccessful photos with blurred frames or closed eyes!

One of the most popular services in the Carpathians is an excursion with the assistance of a professional photographer. By taking part in such an expedition, you will be able to enjoy new experiences without being distracted by taking pictures. The Carpathian region has unsurpassed landscapes and incredible locations for photography. Majestic mountains and spacious valleys, roaring waterfalls, legendary spruces, or magical Hutsul heritage — your photos against the background of all this will be as wonderful as the impressions!

The most popular photo sessions in the Carpathians

Nature was, is, and will be the best photo zone, especially the picturesque landscapes of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Among the most popular types of photo shoots in this area are:

• photography on a walk;
• excursion photo session;
• family photo session;
• portrait photography;
• children’s photo session in nature;
• wedding photography;
• extreme photo shoot (rafting trip, mountain hike, ATV tour, etc.).

If you are planning a wedding, you will not find a better option than a photo session in the Carpathians. Artistic wedding photos do not necessarily have to be taken on the wedding day because this is an additional hassle and fuss that can overshadow the celebration. It is better to choose a separate day for photography, having thought out the images and entourage, not rushing anywhere, and not worrying as much as on the wedding day. You can wear a wedding dress again or come up with original images that you could not afford during the celebration.

Newlyweds look very beautiful in traditional Ukrainian clothes or their stylized versions with embroidery, wreaths, and other attributes. However, even simple clothes in light shades against the background of nature look perfect — a light dress, a linen shirt, a thin stole, etc.

Of course, not only a wedding can be the occasion for a photo session. You can reveal in a photo a family holiday with children, a romantic weekend, or an adventure with a group of friends, for example, climbing Hoverla, visiting an ethno-park, or taking a jeep tour.

Think of clothes that will be in harmony with nature and the subject of the photo, and choose the appropriate attributes: a children’s toy, a jug and a picnic basket, a blanket, colorful Hutsul items, bouquets of flowers, balloons, etc. Any things that are symbolic of your family, and friendship or love stories will be the highlight of the photo and will make the photo session unique.

Wedding ideas for photos in the mountains

You’ve put a lot of effort into preparing the wedding and making everything the best it can be, so now you can take a break from the hustle and bustle with a clean heart. A wedding photo session in the mountains will be a great reason to go to the mountains for a vacation. The picturesque nature will give you real inspiration and many wonderful locations, and we want to offer some popular ideas.

1. On a mountain path. The most important thing is to wear comfortable shoes and choose a good day. You will look amazing on the rocky paths because this scenery was created by nature itself.
2. Near the mountain stream. In fact, it can be not only a stream but also a lake, a river, a small waterfall, or any body of water with a backdrop of mountain stones and local plants. You will get very romantic photos, especially if you take picnic accessories with you.
3. The morning sky. For the sake of such a photo session, it is worth waking up and reaching the mountains before sunrise. Just imagine this beauty when the morning rays break through the sleepy clouds, filling the sky with a magical glow and incredible colors.
4. Seasonal photo sessions. The Carpathians are beautiful at any time of the year — summer, winter, spring, or autumn. Each season presents its own landscapes, which can be beautifully captured in a photo shoot. Some newlyweds are photographed even in the winter, especially lovers of active leisure and extreme sports.

When going on vacation in Bukovel, take care of a cozy and comfortable place to stay — book a room at the ethno-hotel “Stara Pravda” in the village of Polyanytsia. Here you will find quality service, a warm atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, great rooms, and a wide range of leisure activities, from swimming in the tubs to the services of a professional photographer for the most vivid memories!
