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.

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