Book a Wedding Photoshoot
in Agios Nikolaos & Elounda

Professional photoshoots in Agios Nikolaos and Elounda start from €279. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a short session around Lake Voulismeni to a longer route up the Mirabello coast to Elounda, Plaka and the Spinalonga channel.

Lake Voulismeni with the tavernas and the cliff around it, the harbour channel and the small town beach at Kitroplatia, the causeway at Olous with its windmill ruins and the sunken walls visible through the shallows, Elounda's fishing quay looking across the flat water of Mirabello Bay, and the shore at Plaka facing Spinalonga, where the fortress island fills the frame across the channel.

Dawn at Lake Voulismeni, when the water is glass and the tavernas have not set their tables out — it is a small lake, so a still surface doubles the whole town. The Mirabello coast is a late-afternoon job: the light comes across the bay onto Elounda and Plaka, and Spinalonga turns amber from the shore just before sunset. The season runs long here — May to mid-October is comfortable, and the eastern end of Crete stays warm into November.

Spinalonga is a ticketed archaeological site with posted opening hours that change with the season, and the last boats leave well before sunset — so a session on the island itself has to be a daytime one, booked around the ferry from Plaka or Elounda (about ten to twenty minutes each way). Most couples shoot the island from the Plaka shore instead, where the fortress sits across the channel in the golden hour and no ticket or timetable applies. Ask your photographer to check the day's hours and the boat times before the shoot is fixed.

For peak-season dates — May through October, and especially Saturdays on Santorini or Mykonos — book 6-12 months ahead. The best-reviewed photographers are often the first vendors to sell out after the venue itself. Shoulder-season and weekday weddings are far more flexible; three to four months is usually comfortable. If your date is closer than that, don't assume it's hopeless: availability shifts, and Photo Greece can check the whole vetted roster for your date at once instead of you emailing photographers one by one. When comparing, look at full wedding galleries rather than portfolio highlights — how a photographer handles a dim taverna dinner tells you more than their best ten frames.

Work backwards from the moments you can't lose. An intimate ceremony with dinner fits in 4-5 hours: preparations, vows, couple portraits at golden hour, first toasts. A classic full wedding day — getting ready through the first dances — runs 8-10 hours. Greek weddings tend to run long and warm up late; if your party will peak at midnight with plate-worthy dancing, budget coverage for it or arrange a set finishing time you're at peace with. One Greece-specific tip: schedule couple portraits around sunset, not the ceremony's end — in summer that golden window is what your photographer will plan the whole timeline around. Discuss your running order with your photographer and they'll recommend honest hours, not maximum hours.
