Favourite Dubai Family Photographers

We’ve been in Dubai for just under three years now and used quite a few local photographers. Each with their own style and different price packages to suit all budgets. Keep reading to see who we love and what exclusive offers they’re giving you… There’s some amazing exclusive discounts!!

Capture The Moment

I absolutely love capturing pictures of the kids! I’m able to do this daily with my phone, no problem… But in terms of family pictures and nice ones with me and the kids it’s near on impossible. That’s when only a photographer will do! Even for high res, good quality images of the kids. I mean, phone cameras are great but how many of us have camera rolls full of blurry pics!

I’ve made a list of my favourite Dubai photographers (in no particular order!) along with some key info, contact details and examples of their work… AND most importantly any offers/discounts that they have on! I really hope you find this useful. * To view the photographs fully please turn your phone/tablet to landscape (like we do when we hand it to our kids to watch you tube… 😂 we’ve all been there) or view this page on a desktop.
