Photographers in Munich
Professional photography in Munich for couples, families, proposals, portraits, weddings and more.
Twenty or thirty days a year the Föhn presses the air so clear that the Alps stand behind the city from seventy kilometres away. Those days can be planned for — you only have to know what to look for in the forecast.

Chosen for the light and the hour. Your photographer will suggest the right one for your session.
- 01
Olympiaberg
A rubble hill from the war, sixty metres above the plain, and the only point from which the city and the Alpine chain fall into one frame. On a clear October evening half of Munich is up there; on the others you have it to yourself.
- Best time:
- Sunset, on a Föhn day
- Permit:
- Free — public park
- 02
Eisbach und Monopteros, Englischer Garten
The Eisbach wave is the one Munich subject that moves, and it runs around the clock. The Monopteros two hundred metres on gives the view south across the meadow to the towers of the old town — empty in the morning, a picnic ground from eleven.
- Best time:
- The first hour after sunrise
- Permit:
- Free — public park
- 03
Schloss Nymphenburg
The canal axis in front of the palace is five hundred metres of symmetry and nearly photographs itself. The park behind is laid out in the English manner and far less walked — for a wedding report it is the actual destination, not the facade.
- Best time:
- Morning, before the canal has visitors
- Permit:
- Park free. Commercial photography: permission from the Bavarian palace administration, chargeable
- 04
Isarkiesbänke bei der Reichenbachbrücke
Turquoise meltwater, white gravel and pines, five minutes from the centre. In high summer it is busy, but the banks are long enough that two hundred metres upstream you are alone.
- Best time:
- Late afternoon in summer
- Permit:
- Free — re-naturalised riverbank
- 05
Viktualienmarkt und Asamkirche
The market gives colour and movement; the Asamkirche two hundred metres on gives the opposite — a baroque interior eight metres wide in which three people are already a crowd. Together they make a session that does not look like a postcard.
- Best time:
- Weekday mornings
- Permit:
- Market free. Asamkirche: free, but a working church — no tripod, no shooting during a service

Check availabilityWhen to be photographed in Munich
Munich has one subject no other German city has, and it is temperamental. In a Föhn the Alpine chain stands sharp on the southern horizon; on the other three hundred days it is not there. From the Olympiaberg and the Monopteros in the Englischer Garten that is the difference between a postcard and a grey band, and because a Föhn shows up in the forecast two or three days out it is the one booking on this site made at short notice rather than long. Everything else here is water and park. The Englischer Garten is larger than Central Park, the Isar runs re-naturalised for twelve kilometres inside the city and has gravel banks you stand on in August as though you were in the mountains. What costs money is the palaces: Nymphenburg and the Residenz belong to the Bavarian palace administration, and a commercial photograph in either needs permission and carries a fee. The park at Nymphenburg is free and the courtyard is not — a distinction that only becomes apparent once you are standing in it.
The Föhn days cluster in spring and late autumn, not in summer. October is the city’s best month: clear air, colour in the Englischer Garten, and the two weeks of the Wiesn when any appointment in the centre is better avoided. From mid-June to the end of August the Isar gravel banks are where Munich looks like a holiday. January and February are cold and often under high fog — and that fog is not a washout but the softest light of the year.

Questions about Munich
Can we plan on having the Alps in the background?
You cannot plan on it, but you can wait for it. The Alpine view depends on a Föhn, which shows in the forecast two or three days ahead. If it matters, book a flexible slot and we fix the date at short notice — this is the one session on the site that works that way round. Without a Föhn the Olympiaberg is still the best view over the city.
What does a permit at Nymphenburg cost?
It depends on scale and area and is set case by case by the Bavarian palace administration; an hour in the courtyard runs to a low three-figure sum. The public palace park is not affected. We obtain the permit and invoice the fee separately rather than burying it in a package price.
Should we avoid the Oktoberfest fortnight?
For anything in the centre, yes. For a fortnight the hotels are full, the trams are full and the area between the Hauptbahnhof and the Theresienwiese is effectively unusable. The Englischer Garten and Nymphenburg are barely affected — and anyone who wants a Tracht session on the Wiesn gets, in exactly those two weeks, something that does not exist the rest of the year.
