Photographer in Greece

Photographer Greece

Between the text, I’ve included photos from two different photoshoots I did as a photographer in Greece. The first is a couple session, and the second is a family photo session. They visited Greece during their holidays and had their portraits taken in Rethymnon’s old town and at the beach. Each location has its own unique atmosphere.

Why Greece is a great place for photos

Greece has beautiful light, open landscapes, small villages, and historic towns. There are beaches, hills, cobbled streets, white houses, and olive trees. You can find picturesque backgrounds almost everywhere.

The weather is good most of the year. Spring and autumn are calm and not too hot. Summer has more sun and longer days. Winter is quieter but still mild in many places.

The light in Greece is divine! Especially during early morning and late afternoon. This helps the photos look more natural. That’s why my suggestion shooting at sunrise or sunset.

Why people book a photoshoot on vacation

A photoshoot on vacation is a way to keep your memories. Phone pictures are nice, but having real portraits is different. It’s something you can keep for years. Many people book a photographer when they travel because:

They want to have photos with their partner or family
They are celebrating something special like an engagement, honeymoon, or anniversary
They want to propose in a beautiful place
They are traveling solo and want good portraits
They need content for work or social media

A local Greece photographer knows the area, the light, and the best time to shoot. You don’t have to plan everything yourself.

Best Locations For A Photoshoot In Greece

Crete
Crete is a large island with many options. You’ll find old towns like Chania & Rethymnon, fishing harbors, quiet beaches, hills with olive trees, and small villages. There’s a wide variety of locations, and most are easy to access.

Santorini
Santorini is famous for a reason. White houses, blue domes, narrow streets, and cliff views. It’s a popular place for couples, honeymoon photos, and proposals. The sunsets are very special.

Mykonos
Mykonos has small white houses, flower-filled alleys, and windmills by the sea. It’s a good location if you want something bright and elegant.

Athens And Mainland Greece
Athens offers a mix of history and city atmosphere. You can shoot near the Acropolis or the historic centre. Mainland Greece also has lakes, mountains, and quiet villages for a more peaceful session.

Types Of Photoshoots You Can Book

One of the best things to do in Greece is having a photo shoot in some magnificent places. There are several types of a photoshoots: Family, Couple, engagement, honeymoon, individual portraits, anniversary photo shoots. Undoubtedly, vacation photography in Greece is one of the greatest gifts for you and your people.

Couple Photoshoot
You don’t need a special reason to take photos as a couple. You can book a session in order to have good photos together in a beautiful place and Greece offers a calm and romantic setting. A couple photo shoot can be simple and natural, showing how you are with each other. It’s a nice way to keep memories from your trip.

Engagement Photoshoot
Many couples choose to have engagement photos during their trip. It’s a simple way to remember this stage in life. You don’t need special poses — just a walk and real moments.

Honeymoon Session
After the wedding, some couples take photos during their honeymoon. These sessions are relaxed. You walk, enjoy the place, and the photographer captures the connection between you.

Proposal Photography
If you are planning to propose, the photographer can capture this special moment without your partner expecting it. After the proposal, you can take some portraits together. It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Solo Portraits / Personal Content
You don’t need to be with someone else to have nice photos. Many people book sessions just for themselves. Some want personal memories, others need photos for work, online content, or a project.

Family Photoshoot
Vacation is a good time for family portraits. Everyone is together, in a good mood, and away from daily stress. The photos will be something your kids can keep when they grow up.
