Ashley’s Family Photos in the Marrakech Medina and Souks
A family photo session in the Marrakech medina and souks can become part of your holiday: a walk through the city, with time for portraits along the way. With Ashley’s family, the route unfolded from the open spaces around the Koutoubia into the medina’s narrow streets, then slowed down among gardens and quiet courtyards. Blue clothes against ochre walls, a child’s curiosity and small moments together gave this session its rhythm.
Explore the session
Family portraits around the Koutoubia
The Koutoubia offered a familiar Marrakech backdrop, with palms, green tiles and long ochre walls. We alternated portraits of the three of them with closer moments: an embrace, a kiss and a child finding a place on a low wall. Leaving room to move kept the photographs connected to the walk.
Family photos in the Marrakech souks
In the Marrakech souks, the light changed from one street to the next. Lanterns filled a shop doorway, narrow passages opened onto busier corners, and the family stopped whenever something caught their attention. These photographs bring the setting into the story without losing the gestures and expressions that make it personal.
Quiet portraits in gardens and courtyards
The last part of the session feels more intimate. Foliage, a wooden doorway and a simple ochre wall frame portraits together and quieter photographs of each person. Sitting down, leaning close or sharing a smile can be enough; the city gives the pictures a sense of place, while the family remains at their centre.
Planning a family photo session in the Marrakech medina
If you are looking for a Marrakech family photographer, we can plan a route around your stay and your children’s pace. Tell me where you are staying, your preferred dates and the kind of photographs you enjoy. For family photos in the Marrakech souks, we can plan a manageable walk, quieter stops and breaks around your children’s pace. We will confirm access and ask permission before photographing inside any shop. For a different atmosphere, explore this family portrait session at El Fenn.
