Book a Engagement Photoshoot
on Poros

For summer dates on Santorini, Mykonos or Paros, book 4-8 weeks ahead — June to September is peak season and the best photographers' calendars fill early. Athens and mainland spots like Nafplio are more flexible; two to three weeks is usually enough outside of high season. If your dates are fixed (say, you're combining the shoot with a wedding scouting trip), book as soon as you know them — you can always fine-tune the time and locations later in the chat with your photographer. Last-minute requests are still worth trying: Photo Greece can often match you with an available photographer within days.

Yes — that's one of the most popular reasons couples book an engagement session. You receive high-resolution files with personal usage rights, perfect for printed cards, wedding websites, guest apps and social media announcements. Tell your photographer in advance that save-the-dates are the goal: they'll deliberately shoot some wider compositions with negative space for text, a mix of portrait and landscape orientations, and a few images that work at small print sizes. A Santorini blue-dome frame or the two of you dwarfed by Meteora's rock towers makes an announcement nobody forgets. Delivery is typically within days, so the cards can go out quickly.

Practically, they're the same product — same duration, same pricing from €299, same photographer pool. The difference is intent. An engagement session usually has deliverables in mind: save-the-dates, a wedding website, images that match the aesthetic of your upcoming wedding. Your photographer will plan for that — cleaner compositions, ring details, perhaps echoing the color palette of your wedding venue. A couples session is freer: it documents your trip and your relationship as they are, with more candid wandering. Tell us which one you mean when booking and the session gets planned accordingly; plenty of couples honestly book it as both.

Professional photoshoots on Poros start from €310. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — one to two hours, roughly €310 to €450, covers the waterfront, the stepped lanes and the clocktower on the ridge. Love Bay, Russian Bay or a crossing to the lemon groves above Galatas needs travel time, so book the longer package.

The clocktower on the ridge, reached by stepped lanes, with the whole channel below it; the pastel waterfront seen from a boat or from the Galatas quay opposite; the stepped alleys behind the harbour; Love Bay, where the pines come down to the sand; and Russian Bay on the north coast, with the arched ruins of a nineteenth-century naval station on the shore.

Golden hour from the clocktower or the water. The town faces roughly south-west across the channel, so the whole pastel front lights up in the last hour and the ridge gives you the view over it. Mornings are calm and glassy for boat frames. Poros is an easy weekend hop from Athens, so Saturdays are busy from June to September; May and late September are quieter.
