The Perfect Dubai Photoshoot Locations

Are you looking to have a photoshoot with your loved ones? Whether you want a Dubai family photo shoot, a couples photoshoot or a maternity photoshoot, it is a big decision to choose the ideal location for you!

After “what to wear”, this is one of the most asked questions I get. There are also lots of things to consider such as the time of day and the weather. But, I am always here to help.

Dubai has some of the most gorgeous locations that are pretty hard to resist, and narrowing down which one to choose can be hard, understandably. As a photographer in Dubai, I love meeting people who long for everlasting memories and an intimate time with loved ones.

I love, love and even better, I adore capturing it on camera so you have them to look back on in years' time where the images are of high quality, in an aesthetic that you like and where everyone is actually in the photo! Mama, I’m talking to you! 

So, to help you with your search, here are the perfect Dubai photoshoot locations that you do not want to miss. 

6 Dubai Photoshoot Locations

• Desert 

• Beach

• Nad Al Sheba

• Love Lakes

• Dubai Hills Park

• Dubai Creek Park

Desert

One of the most incredible things that we have to offer in Dubai is the desert which is best shot at golden hour in the evening and is by far my most popular shoot spot! 

These make for glowy and golden images which offer the most perfect lighting if you ask me! 

As well, it is a quieter time of the day which allows us more privacy for your photoshoot and the temperature is usually cooler.

You and your children can be wild and free, running down the dunes and lots of playful fun can be had. I will encourage you to relax and be yourselves and I will capture it in all of its uniqueness and beauty.

Beach

A Dubai photoshoot location that is wild, free and beautiful is AI Sufouh beach, where I do all of my beach sessions. Here we have the beach and water, but also tall grasses and bushes that photograph beautifully, so we get the best of both worlds in one!

You can’t go wrong with this location as your children can run around, play and you can enjoy the sea breeze.

This location is best shot at sunrise and we can get the Burj Al Arab in the background, which at sunrise offers pastel blue tones that look stunning! Also, children are usually more cooperative in the morning and you can treat yourselves to breakfast after your shoot.

It is lovely in the evening too as it is often hazy because of the humidity. However, there does tend to be more people in the evening so keep this in mind if you feel embarrassed shooting with people around.

I love to end all beach shoots with splashing in the water shots and so do the families!  

Nad Al Sheba

Nad Al Sheba is a lovely unique Dubai photoshoot location that feels like you're somewhere else. This neighbourhood is coveted by a nostalgic design philosophy, creating a distinct space within Dubai's effervescent city.

The Nad Al Sheba gardens offer the perfect spot for the whimsical at heart. And, as always the best time for your shoot is the evening at golden hour.

Love Lakes

Love Lakes is the ideal Dubai photoshoot location if you would like sandy vibes with a hint of nature. Named after its unusual shape consisting of two large interconnected hearts!

This scenic spot is located in the tranquil Al Qudra area and is more contained than the desert. Home to more than 100 species of animals, flowers, and plants, was once known as a hidden gem, but it has now gained popularity as one of the city's most picturesque places.

You get the best of both worlds of greenery and sand, if you’re finding it hard to decide which setting you would like. 

Dubai Hills Park

Dubai Hills Park is located in the heart of Dubai Hills Estate and is a lush green oasis known for its incredible natural beauty with 1,800 trees and palms planted.

This Dubai photoshoot location is perfect for mini sessions or sessions with grandparents who are perhaps not as mobile as it is easy to access and flat. 

There are tons of spaces and backdrops for us to explore during your photoshoot for a fun adventure and gorgeous photos. This is a client favourite of mine.

Dubai Creek Park

Dubai Creek Park is a good spot if you're looking for a slightly more formal setting located right on the edge of Dubai Creek, distinguishing it from other green spaces in the city. It's also Dubai's second-largest park, with acres of botanical gardens and children's play areas.

This Dubai photoshoot location is a well-maintained and landscaped park with large rockery, tall cacti, open grass and a beach.

This location pretty much has it all for all kinds of atmospheres and backdrops, so we can truly make the most of what it has to offer us. Your children can play in the park afterwards too!
