Book a Couples Photoshoot
in Rethymno

Most couples sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, enough time to visit 2-3 locations and capture a wide variety of natural, relaxed moments together. In Athens you might start at an Acropolis viewpoint, wander through Plaka's old streets and finish at Anafiotika's island-style houses; on Santorini your photographer will route you through Oia's quieter corners before the sunset crowds arrive. Longer 2-hour sessions are perfect if you want to explore more. Book with Photo Greece and we'll match you with the ideal photographer for your style.

The golden rule is to coordinate without matching — complementary colors and classic styles that reflect your personality. Solid, muted tones (cream, navy, sage, terracotta) photograph beautifully against Greece's whitewashed walls, blue domes and honey-colored stone. Avoid busy patterns, large logos and neon colors. Comfortable shoes matter: Plaka's marble-smooth lanes and Santorini's caldera steps are slippery, and island paths can be uneven. Bring a second outfit for variety on longer sessions, and a light layer for breezy island evenings. Your Photo Greece photographer will send a personalized style guide for your location, season and time of day.

Golden hour — shortly after sunrise or before sunset — gives the most flattering, warm, romantic light. In Greece, sunset ranges from around 5:30pm in winter to 8:45pm in summer, so plan accordingly. Sunset sessions on Santorini's caldera and at the Temple of Poseidon on the Athens Riviera are legendary, but they're also the busiest hours; sunrise shoots give you Oia's blue domes or the Acropolis viewpoints nearly to yourselves. Midday works too in shaded old-town lanes, but the strong Greek summer sun needs an experienced photographer. Your Photo Greece photographer will recommend the ideal timing for your location and season.

Professional photoshoots in Rethymno start from €310. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a session at the little Venetian harbour to a longer route through the old town and up to the Fortezza.

The horseshoe of the Venetian harbour with its lighthouse, the old town's mix of Venetian doorways and Ottoman wooden balconies, the Rimondi fountain, the ramparts of the Fortezza above the sea, and the long sandy town beach that starts right where the harbour ends.

Early morning in the old town and harbour, before the tavernas set their tables out — the lanes stay shaded and calm. Golden hour belongs to the Fortezza, whose walls catch the low sun with the sea behind, and the beach works for a soft-light finale. May, June and September are the sweet spot for the season.
