If you’re planning a trip to Universal Studios Orlando with your family and you’re a Harry Potter fan (or even just along for the Butterbeer), there’s no better place to capture those memories than within the cobblestone streets and enchanted corners of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. As a professional photographer, I’m thrilled to offer family photo sessions that turn your visit into a timeless storybook experience.
Why Harry Potter World?
From the steam billowing off the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9¾ to the flickering lanterns in Diagon Alley, this place feels like magic. The immersive detail offers an unforgettable backdrop, ideal for capturing the wonder, excitement, and togetherness of your family vacation.
Whether you’re proudly donning your house robes or simply soaking in the fantasy, every corner of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley is bursting with photo opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.
What to Expect During a Session
As a photographer, my goal is always to create a relaxed, fun experience, which is especially important when working with families in a high-energy setting like a theme park! I guide you to the best photo spots tucked behind Ollivanders or over by the Leaky Cauldron, making sure we hit iconic scenes without disrupting the flow of your day.
I also focus on the in-between moments: the way your kids’ faces light up when they see the dragon atop Gringotts Bank, your hands wrapped around mugs of Butterbeer, a family laugh outside Honeydukes. These are the memories that matter.
Tips for the Best Session
- Come early: Crowds are lighter in the morning, and ususally impossible to avoid after 10am.
- Coordinate your outfits: Whether you’re going full GRYFFINDOR! or just color-coordinating in neutral tones, it adds a polished look to your photos.
- Bring your wands! Props like wands, Hogwarts scarves, or Chocolate Frogs make great additions to your photos and tell your family’s unique story.
- Don’t stress the kids: It’s okay if little ones are wiggly or excited. I work with their energy to capture candid, joyful moments.
Also, I have a few wands and robes to lend out – so if you are in need, let me know and I might have something for you to borrow!
Booking Details
Family sessions in the Wizarding World are limited and must be scheduled in advance, as I only book one family per park day to ensure a personalized experience. I handle all park photography rules carefully and with respect for both the guests and Universal’s guidelines.
If you’re planning your next trip to Universal Studios Orlando and want to leave with more than just souvenirs – something heartfelt and lasting – let’s talk. I would be honored to capture your family’s magical moments with the same care and creativity I bring to every session.
