Frequently Asked Questions

Vacation Photoshoot in Greece — Pricing, Booking, Delivery & More

How does Photo Greece work?

You have two ways to book: browse photographers yourself — view portfolios, read verified reviews, and book directly. Or use our free concierge matching service — tell us your preferences and we'll hand-pick 2-3 photographers for you. Either way, payments are secure and your photos are delivered to a private gallery. Learn more on our How It Works page.

How much does a photoshoot cost?

Every price you see is all-inclusive — nothing is added at checkout. Our hand-picked express booking starts at €279 for a one-hour session; choosing your own photographer typically starts around €345, with half-day and full-day experiences from €575. Each photographer's exact packages are on their profile.

How do I book a photographer?

You can browse photographers yourself — pick one you like, choose a package, select your date and time, and send a booking request. Or use our free concierge matching — tell us your preferences and we'll send you 2-3 hand-picked options to choose from. Either way, the photographer confirms within 24 hours and your payment is held securely until photos are delivered.

What if I don't know which photographer to choose?

Use our free concierge matching service. Tell us your location, dates, group size, and budget — our team will talk to photographers, check availability, and send you 2-3 hand-picked options who are perfect for your shoot. You simply choose your favorite and book. It's completely free and there's no obligation.

How does payment work? Is it secure?

All payments are processed securely through Stripe, trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. Your payment is held in escrow — we don't release it to the photographer until you receive and accept your photos. This means you're always protected. You can pay with credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes, you can cancel through your dashboard. Cancellation 7+ days before the shoot gives you a full refund. Between 3–7 days: 50% refund. Less than 3 days: no refund (the photographer reserved their time for you). See our Terms of Service for full details.

Can I reschedule my booking?

Yes. One free reschedule is included if you request it 48+ hours before the shoot. Rescheduling due to bad weather is always free for both parties. For changes within 48 hours, contact your photographer directly — most are flexible and happy to find an alternative time.

What happens if the photographer cancels?

You receive a 100% refund, always. If the cancellation is last-minute (less than 48 hours), we'll also try to find a replacement photographer for you. Photographers who cancel repeatedly may be removed from the platform.

How long until I receive my photos?

Delivery time depends on the package you choose — each package shows the estimated delivery days on the photographer's profile (typically 3–14 days). Once ready, you'll receive a link to a private, password-protected gallery. You'll first see watermarked previews to review the photos. Once you approve the delivery, the photos you booked open in full resolution and you can download them one by one or all together as a ZIP archive. If your photographer shot more than the package promises, those extra frames stay watermarked and you can add any of them for a price your photographer sets — optional, and never instead of the photos you booked.

What if I'm not happy with the photos?

You have 7 days after delivery to accept your photos or open a dispute. Valid reasons for a dispute include: fewer photos in your delivery than promised, wrong location, severe technical issues, or photographer no-show. Extra photos offered at the price your photographer set are not a shortfall — they are added to the number you booked, never taken from it. We'll work with both parties to find a fair resolution — reshoot, partial refund, or full refund. Note that subjective style preferences are not grounds for a refund, so review portfolios carefully before booking. See our Terms of Service for details.

How long can I access my photo gallery?

Your private gallery stays accessible for 90 days after delivery. We recommend downloading all your photos within this period. You can download them individually or as a complete ZIP archive. Those 90 days are also your window for any extra photos your photographer offered — once the gallery closes, they close with it.

What are the extra photos in my gallery and what do they cost?

Photographers usually shoot more than the package promises. The photos you booked are yours and sit in your gallery as normal — nothing you paid for is held back. Anything above that number is offered as an extra photo at a price your photographer sets, all in: no fee on top, no minimum, nothing to subscribe to. Buying is entirely optional, and if your gallery shows no extra photos it means your photographer uploaded exactly the number you were promised. See our Help Center for how to pick and download them.

What does it mean when my photographer gifts me extra photos?

Some photographers hand you a few of the extra photos for free. A line at the top of your gallery tells you how many you can pick, you choose the ones you like best, and they open in full resolution straight away. There is nothing to pay and no card to enter. If you want more than the free ones, the rest are a price your photographer sets and the free ones always come off first.

What if it rains on my photoshoot day?

Weather rescheduling is always free for both parties — no penalties, no fees. Either you or the photographer can request a reschedule due to weather conditions unsuitable for outdoor photography. Discuss a backup plan with your photographer when you book.

Are the reviews verified?

Yes. All reviews on Photo Greece are tied to completed bookings. Only clients who have had a confirmed photoshoot can leave a review, ensuring authentic and trustworthy feedback.

What locations are available?

We cover 10+ locations across Greece, including Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, and many more.

Do photographers speak English?

Most photographers on our platform speak English. You can filter photographers by language on the catalog page. Many also speak Greek, German, French, and Italian.

How do I become a photographer on Photo Greece?

What are the photographer plans?

We offer three plans: Free (20% commission, 1 location), Pro at €29/month (15% commission, 5 locations), and Premium at €59/month (10% commission, all locations, custom profile URL, priority support). All plans include up to 500 portfolio photos. Visit our pricing page for a full comparison.

What is the Early Bird program?

The next 25 get Premium free for 6 months, and the next 50 get Pro free for 3 months. Spots are limited and first-come-first-served. Check available spots.

What happens if I don't show up to my photoshoot?

If you don't show up to your scheduled photoshoot without prior notice, no refund will be issued. The full payment goes to the photographer as compensation for their reserved time. If your plans change, we strongly recommend cancelling in advance — cancellation 7+ days before the shoot gives you a full refund, and 3–7 days gives you a 50% refund.

What happens if my photographer doesn't show up?

If your photographer fails to show up, you'll receive a full 100% refund. We recommend waiting 15 minutes at the meeting point, then opening a dispute through your dashboard. Our team will process your refund promptly. For photographers who repeatedly fail to show up, the platform will attempt to find a replacement photographer for affected clients, and the photographer may face account suspension.

When is my payment released to the photographer?

Your payment is held securely in escrow by Stripe until after your photos are delivered. Once the photographer delivers your photos, you have 7 days to review and either accept the delivery or open a dispute. When you accept, the payment is released to the photographer. If you don't respond within 14 days after delivery, the payment is automatically released.

What happens in case of extreme weather or emergencies?

In cases of force majeure — natural disasters, severe weather warnings, pandemics, or other extraordinary circumstances beyond anyone's control — both parties are entitled to a full refund or a free reschedule at no penalty. Neither the client nor the photographer is held responsible. Contact our support team or open a request through your dashboard.

What if my photos are delivered late?

Photos should be delivered within the timeframe agreed in your chosen package. If delivery is 3 or more days late, you may request a partial refund of up to 20% of the package price. If delivery is 14 or more days late, you are entitled to a full refund. You can open a dispute through your dashboard to request a refund for late delivery.
