Book a Wedding Photoshoot
on Poros

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.

Yes — island weddings are the norm here, and photographers are used to travelling. Many are based in Athens or Thessaloniki and fly or ferry out to Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and the Ionian islands routinely; others live on the wedding islands themselves. For remote venues, travel and accommodation costs are quoted transparently up front — for a Saturday wedding on a smaller island, expect the photographer to arrive the day before rather than gamble on a same-day ferry, and that overnight stay appears in the quote. When you enquire through Photo Greece, mention the island and venue in the first message; we'll prioritise photographers already on or near your island, which trims cost and adds local knowledge of the venue itself.

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.
