Book a Chiang Mai photoshoot from $279 with a vetted local photographer and a clear plan for your location, timing and meeting point. Choose 30, 60 or 90 minutes, get WhatsApp help before the session and receive naturally edited photos in a private online gallery within 5 days. From compact Old City temple clusters and Tha Phae Gate brickwork to the gardens of Royal Park Rajapruek or a dedicated Doi Suthep plan, Travaya helps you create a relaxed session without turning it into a rushed sightseeing route.
Choose the duration that fits your Chiang Mai plan. A 30-minute session works best for one focused Old City setting. With 60 or 90 minutes, you have more room for a compact walking cluster, a calmer pace and extra portrait corners. Doi Suthep or Royal Park Rajapruek should be treated as the main destination, with travel and access planned separately.
Every package includes: private online gallery (24 months access), delivery within 5 days and the option to buy the full gallery. Not sure which package suits you? Tell us what you have in mind on WhatsApp, and we’ll help you choose.
30-Minute Session
Perfect for capturing beautiful, natural photos at one carefully chosen location. A great choice for couples, solo travellers and small families looking for a short and relaxed photoshoot.
60-Minute Session
Our most popular option, offering plenty of time for natural moments, different compositions and a variety of nearby backdrops. Ideal for couples, families, maternity and solo photoshoots.
90-Minute Session
Perfect for those who want more variety and a relaxed walk through the city. There is time for multiple backdrops, different group combinations and, where possible, an additional nearby location or outfit.
Choose between Chiang Mai’s old city gates, the city’s ornate temples and mountain-top Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Travaya helps plan the setting that best matches your photoshoot.
Tha Phae Gate offers brick walls, a wooden gateway and an open square. Your photographer can vary the angle as visitors pass. Use pedestrian areas, leave the old brickwork untouched and keep portraits free of staged pigeon chasing.
Wat Rajamontean is the temple pictured here, with ornate stairs and red-and-gold details. Travaya helps choose an accessible temple setting and confirm photography conditions. Leave entrances and worship areas clear, and follow the instructions given on the day.
The carved pavilion columns pictured here offer one setting at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Plan the mountain journey and temple access separately with Travaya. Confirm the funicular if you need an alternative to the long staircase.
These photographs show locations you can discuss with Travaya: Wat Rajamontean, Tha Phae Gate, Royal Park Rajapruek, a Doi Suthep pavilion and Wat Saen Mueang Ma Luang. Use them to choose a setting for your portraits. Gardens and mountain locations need separate travel and access planning.
Early morning usually gives cooler air and calmer backgrounds around Chiang Mai’s Old City. Arrive dressed and ready, with temple access and meeting details already checked. That lets you use the quiet window for photographs instead of organising the group at the entrance, while soft light keeps brick walls and red-and-gold details easier to balance.
Choose breathable fabrics that cover shoulders and knees, then check the latest rules for the specific temple. Deep green, cream, blue and soft neutral colours work well with Chiang Mai’s red brick and golden ornament. Bring comfortable shoes for warm paving and stairs, plus an easy extra layer if your plan includes the cooler mountain setting of Doi Suthep.
Wat Rajamontean and the nearby moat bridge can create several looks without transport. Tha Phae Gate and selected wall sections form another compact story. Doi Suthep and Royal Park Rajapruek sit outside that walking pattern, so treat either as the main destination instead of adding it to a rushed Old City checklist. The result is calmer and photographically stronger.
The light changes across temple courtyards during the day. Near Wat Rajamontean, an entrance corner and the covered section of the moat bridge can provide shade when accessible. Your photographer checks the conditions and uses doorways or pavilion columns where suitable. Keep the group clear of worshippers and entrances, and allow a short pause if a useful corner is busy.
Old City walls are fragile, so photograph them from the pavement, across the road or beside the moat without climbing or touching the brickwork. At Tha Phae Gate, Travaya does not recommend chasing pigeons for staged photographs. Quieter side angles, the wooden gate and walking portraits create a more respectful gallery without turning wildlife or heritage into props.
Doi Suthep has a long Naga staircase with more than 300 steps, while a lift or funicular may offer an alternative when operating. Discuss mobility, family needs and maternity comfort before choosing it. Allow separate travel time from the Old City and focus the shoot on the outer pavilion, staircase and selected viewpoints rather than trying to cover the whole complex.
Choose Wat Rajamontean for compact temple variety, Tha Phae Gate for warm brick, Royal Park Rajapruek for gardens, Doi Suthep for a mountain-temple story or Wat Saen Mueang Ma Luang for quieter Lanna detail. The right choice depends on shoot type, mobility, current access, preferred mood and how much of your booked time you want to spend walking.

Questions? WhatsApp UsEverything you need to know about booking a photographer in Chiang Mai
Travaya packages in Chiang Mai start from $279. The price depends on the session type and duration you choose; check the package details for the included photographs. Your private session includes a local photographer, guidance during the shoot, edited images and delivery in a private online gallery within 5 days.
Our favourite Chiang Mai photo locations are Wat Rajamontean, Tha Phae Gate with the Old City walls, Royal Park Rajapruek, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and Wat Saen Mueang Ma Luang. They offer red-and-gold details, warm brick, gardens, mountain atmosphere and quieter Lanna courtyards. Travaya helps choose one realistic route for your shoot style and mobility.
Temple portraits can be beautiful when current access and photography rules allow. Dress respectfully, follow staff instructions and leave entrances and worship areas clear. Some temples may restrict equipment or professional shoots. Travaya helps plan the route, but clients remain responsible for required tickets, permits and venue charges. Rules can change, so they should always be checked shortly before the session.
Early morning usually offers cooler air and calmer backgrounds around the Old City. Late afternoon can bring warmer light, although some temple courtyards fall into shade earlier behind surrounding buildings. Doi Suthep and Royal Park Rajapruek need their own timing because of travel and walking distances. We choose the start around the selected location, weather, mobility and current opening conditions.
Getting in touch two to six weeks ahead gives us more flexibility to arrange your preferred start time with our hand-picked photography team. Earlier is helpful for proposals, school holidays, weekends and destination locations such as Doi Suthep or Royal Park Rajapruek. Last-minute sessions may still be possible, so message us on WhatsApp and we will check the current options.
Confirm admission, professional photography permission and any equipment restrictions for your chosen venue before booking. A visitor ticket alone may not cover a private professional shoot. Travaya helps arrange the details; required tickets, permissions and venue charges remain the client’s responsibility. Agree any additional travel cost separately, especially for Royal Park Rajapruek or Doi Suthep.
Choose breathable fabrics and colours that complement Chiang Mai’s red brick, deep red, gold and green settings. For temple routes, cover shoulders and knees and check the latest dress rules. Comfortable shoes matter for warm paving, garden paths and stairs. Doi Suthep can feel different from the Old City, so a light extra layer and an easy footwear option can be useful.
Yes, when the route matches the people and the occasion. Families and maternity sessions benefit from shade, short walking distances and simple meeting points. Couples and engagements can use movement through the Old City, while proposals need discreet timing and a nearby alternative for portraits. Royal Park Rajapruek suits clients wanting space and greenery; Doi Suthep needs more travel and stairs planning.
Travaya’s in-house editing team prepares your photos in our natural, warm style. You receive the edited images within 5 days in a private online gallery, ready to download, print and share. Your booking specifies the number of included photographs.
Choose a compact Old City route or plan a separate visit to Doi Suthep or Royal Park Rajapruek. These ideas explain how the settings, walking distances, shade and access arrangements shape your private Chiang Mai photoshoot.
Chiang Mai rewards a focused story. Around Wat Rajamontean, temple stairs, red-and-gold details, a moat bridge and an older temple across the water create several looks without a long transfer. Tha Phae Gate offers a different brick-and-city mood. Travaya helps you choose one main setting, while your Chiang Mai photographer uses the nearby light, architecture and frames to produce visual variety without turning paid session time into transport.
View Chiang Mai packagesTravaya helps arrange a compact route, meeting point and start time around the places you want to photograph. Near Wat Rajamontean, an entrance corner and the covered section of the moat bridge can offer shade, depending on the light that day. At Tha Phae Gate, your photographer looks for a less crowded angle. Photograph the old walls from a pedestrian path or a safe viewpoint across the moat; keep out of traffic and leave the fragile brickwork untouched.
View Chiang Mai packagesFor a proposal in Chiang Mai, tell Travaya how you would like to arrive and whether your partner expects a photoshoot. We agree a recognisable meeting point, a discreet camera position and a nearby place for portraits afterwards. A garden setting such as Royal Park Rajapruek requires advance confirmation of access and photography conditions. Temple spaces need particular care: a staged proposal must never interrupt worship or assume permission. Your photographer captures the reaction and offers relaxed guidance once the surprise is over.
Plan a Chiang Mai ProposalCouple and engagement photographs can feel distinctly Chiang Mai without becoming a landmark checklist. Deep red and gold temple details add warmth; Tha Phae Gate brings simple brick texture; garden paths create softer movement. Your photographer uses walking, conversation and light direction to build natural interaction, then chooses cleaner portrait frames when a courtyard or square becomes busier. The final gallery feels polished while still showing how you experienced the city together.
Plan a Chiang Mai Couple ShootFamily photographs work best when the route respects children, heat and attention spans. Wat Rajamontean gives several backgrounds in one compact cluster, while Royal Park Rajapruek offers more space but needs a carefully chosen garden area and separate travel arrangements. Your photographer keeps the pace flexible, finds shade when available and captures small interactions between guided portraits. That leaves room for water breaks, regrouping and the spontaneous expressions that make a family gallery personal.
View Chiang Mai Family PackagesA maternity session should prioritise comfort without losing Chiang Mai’s character. Maternity photos can be taken solo, with your partner or together with your children. A quiet Old City temple can provide decorative doors, courtyard shade and short walking distances, while selected garden areas at Royal Park Rajapruek add greenery and open space. Your photographer adapts poses, angles and pauses around how you feel that day. Doi Suthep can still be considered, but the transfer, stairs and current lift access need careful planning first.
Plan a Chiang Mai Maternity ShootWat Phra That Doi Suthep is a mountain destination outside the Old City walking route. Plan the journey, arrival and meeting point separately with Travaya before choosing a package. The long Naga staircase and the funicular require different access arrangements, and its operation should be confirmed if stairs are difficult for you. Once at the temple, carved pavilion columns and selected outdoor viewpoints can give varied portraits without crossing the whole complex. Agree any travel or venue charges before booking and leave worship areas and access routes clear.
View Chiang Mai packagesThirty minutes works best for one clear Old City setting and a precise meeting point. Sixty minutes gives room for a compact walking cluster, more relaxed direction and several architectural corners. Ninety minutes can support a larger garden route or greater variety, but transport to Doi Suthep or Royal Park Rajapruek must still be planned separately. Travaya matches the package to your priorities, so session time becomes photographs rather than commuting.
Compare Chiang Mai PackagesTravaya pairs you with a vetted Chiang Mai photographer and helps arrange the route, start time, meeting point, temple etiquette and shoot style through WhatsApp. During your private photoshoot you receive warm, natural guidance for couple, family, maternity, engagement, proposal or solo portraits.
