With Santorini being the most romantic and picturesque island on the map, it’s a must to book an intimate photoshoot with your partner, making sure to capture moments in both the hot spots and more “hidden” scenic locations. Get comfortable as we share our secrets in planning such an ideal photo & video session.
Choosing the most suitable hour of the day
It’s very important to book your photo session during an hour with soft light and when the streets are not overcrowded. Ideally, early morning hours are always peaceful and we highly recommend sacrificing some sleep, it’s totally worth it. If waking up at sunrise isn’t for you then we suggest the hours before sunset.
Deciding on the location
If you’re looking for breathtaking views, traditional paths & charming streets, blue domes & white houses, Oia, Imerovigli, Megalochori or Pyrgos are the villages you’re looking for. For a beach photo shoot, pay a visit to Vlychada, The Red Beach or more private beaches in Akrotiri. Be sure to advise your photographer on the best location based on accessibility.
Booking a photographer who knows his way around
A great tip is booking a local professional to be your photographer. Choosing a photographer who is from the island, or has lived there long enough to call it home, can prove to be a great benefit when it comes to visiting not only the famous locations but all the private ones too.
Put some extra thought to your outfits
With Santorini having vibrant blue colors of the sky and ocean in the background it’s a good idea to choose pastel colors in your clothes. Something light and casual is perfect in order to be in harmony with the landscape. As an extra tip we recommend flat and comfortable shoes since you will most likely be walking a lot and taking many, many steps.
Don’t be afraid of candid shots
Taking portraits and posing is great and inevitable but don’t hesitate to also take those candid shots. Walk, run, smile and laugh with your partner while your photographer takes clicks. Those true and genuine moments between the couple create for treasured photos that are kept cherished for a lifetime.
