Photoshoot · 15 to 60 min · 10 to 50 edited photos in 48 h · Price per group · From €89

The white façade of the Royal Palace, the iron and gold railings and the hedges of the Sabatini Gardens are enough for a whole session without repeating a backdrop. A Madrid photographer waits for you in Plaza de Oriente and in a quarter of an hour, half an hour or a full one photographs you around the palace. In two days you have the photos edited. Smiler sells it from €89 per group, in three sizes.
How much time and how many photos

Standard: 15 minutes and 10 photos, one or two people, €89.
Premium: 30 minutes and 25 photos, up to six people, €149. Enough for Plaza de Oriente and the railings.
VIP: one hour and 50 photos, up to twelve people, €249. Enough to go down to Sabatini and back.

The golden hour is paid separately, €35 more, and is when the palace stone takes on colour. The photographer selects the photos and edits them; any extra ones you want are bought afterwards.
From Plaza de Oriente to Sabatini
The meeting is in Plaza de Oriente, between the palace and the Teatro Real; the photographer fixes the exact point through the app. From there you move along the façade facing the square, the railings and, if there is time, the Sabatini Gardens, to the north, with their pond and clipped hedges. The session is on the street and in the public gardens: to enter the palace you need the visit ticket, bought separately.
With more time: Flytographer
Flytographer, a network of holiday photographers, has two routes here: the Royal Palace one, through the gardens and with the Opera opposite, and another that links the palace with La Latina. Sessions run from half an hour to three hours, cost from $325 for 30 minutes and 20 photos, and the gallery arrives in five working days.

## Consejos

### Wear something colourful
Against the palace's pale stone, a plain, vivid shade stands out more than white or beige.

### Combine session and visit
With the session first thing and the palace ticket straight afterwards, you do not have to come back.

### The café, opposite
After the session, the Café de Oriente, on the same square, faces the palace.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Does it include entry to the Royal Palace?
No. It takes place outside, in the square and the public gardens.

### Can I change the date?
With Smiler, free up to 24 hours before. With Flytographer, according to its policy, which refunds 90% with more than fifteen days' notice.

### When do the photos arrive?
In 48 hours with Smiler and in five working days with Flytographer.
