Autumn photo session in Riga
Autumn is the shortest window for outdoor portraits. This guide helps you pick the day, place and clothes before the leaves fall.
October · Sigulda · Jelgava · Jūrmala
Tips
Sigulda
The Gauja valley and Paradise Hill add depth and colour. Paths can be wet — bring shoes with grip.
Jelgava and Jūrmala
Parks and the coast give different backgrounds. Jūrmala is windier; bring a layer you can take off for the frame.
Weather
An overcast day is softer than midday sun. No exact 2026 peak-colour date is promised — check the forecast a week ahead.
What the session includes
Maria’s autumn session is the individual package: €120, up to 1 hour, up to 2 outfits, 70+ edited photos, one person. Travel and admission are agreed separately. See the autumn gallery. The image above is a mood illustration, not a client frame.
If the wedding is this autumn
An autumn wedding day needs a rain plan and a shorter light window. Compare the style in the wedding portfolio and use the wedding checklist on this site.
FAQ
Does the autumn session cost something else?
No. It is the same individual package at €120.
Can we shoot in Riga Old Town in autumn?
Yes. The Old Town gallery is separate: mariaphoto.lv/en/portfolio/oldtown/.
