Vacation photoshoot · Nashville
In short
Vacation photoshoot in Nashville starts at $325: 60 min on location with a photographer who works in Nashville, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 48–72 hours.
Why choose Vacation photoshoot in Nashville?
A vacation photoshoot in Nashville is a one-hour walking session through two or three locations that delivers 40 retouched images within 48 to 72 hours, priced from $325. Visitors to Nashville usually have a two- or three-night trip and want proof of the city itself, not a generic park. A one-hour Nashville route therefore stays tight: Lower Broadway for the neon signs, the riverfront for the skyline, or Centennial Park for the Parthenon, with no more than a short ride between stops.
Worth knowing about Nashville
Metro Nashville Parks cannot permit drone use outside designated flying areas, and a Metro ordinance bars launching or landing a drone in a Metro park, while the Parthenon states that drones are prohibited in Centennial Park. A Nashville vacation photoshoot is therefore shot from the ground, and visitors traveling with a drone leave it at the hotel.

FAQ — Vacation photoshoot in Nashville
Can we fly a drone during a Nashville vacation photoshoot?
Not in a Metro Nashville park. Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation will not permit drones outside designated flying areas, a Metro ordinance bars bringing or landing drones in parks, and drones are prohibited in Centennial Park around the Parthenon. A Nashville vacation session is photographed from the ground instead.
Can a Nashville vacation photoshoot include the inside of the Parthenon?
Visitors may take their own photographs inside the Nashville Parthenon museum, except at one signed display case in the Centennial Gallery, after buying a $15 adult ticket on site. A professional session inside is not covered by that visitor rule, so a Nashville vacation photoshoot uses the columns and lawn outside.
