TOUR ITINERARY

Based on our wonderful reviews, this is the best private photo shoot experience you can have! Also, an introduction and exploration of Athens’s history and beautiful areas and corners, while being photographed by a local professional portrait photographer!
Whether you’re a loving couple, solo traveller, group of friends, or a family, with my 30 years of expertise and a passion for capturing authentic moments, I promise to put all my heart into every photo and capture your real character! I try to adjust every photograph with your style and spirit, and the fun of your Athens adventure.
Having hosted hundreds of guests, I’m here to ensure your Athens experience is immortalized in wonderful photographs.

We will meet in a central spot of Athens and enjoy a fun and relaxed walk-and-pose tour on a very picturesque route inside the old part of the city. I will introduce you to hidden spots and gems of the town, corners of ancient and modern Athens and photograph your best moments back-dropped by the ideal known and unknown spots! We move through the side streets, often overlooked by visitors rushing toward the main sites.

Past beautiful neoclassical buildings, flowering pedestrian streets, Byzantine churches, bougainvillaea-draped staircases, and panoramic, breathtaking views of the city and the Acropolis, I have designed this walk around the light, the history, and the hidden beauty of the city I’ve known my entire life.

While enjoying my chilled, polite, fun and amiable character that is guaranteed to put you at your ease from the first moment, I will be providing you with a lot of “insider” information, suggestions and stories about Athens and make you see the city from a local’s point of view!

Your photographs can be street style, casual, styled photo shoots, wedding anniversaries, secret proposals, engagements or honeymoons.
Whatever your idea or purpose is, it can be arranged and customised to meet your personal needs and likes, and it will be captured with the most personal touch and love!
No matter the style, we will capture the fun and mood of your visit to the ancient Greek capital so you can have a touching photo album full of carefully thought-out and framed portraits to always remember your holidays!
Your happiness is my priority, and I’m dedicated to capturing the essence of your Athens adventure with creativity and finesse.

What’s Included in Your Photo Tour?

Expert Posing Guidance: Whether you are a solo traveller, a couple, or a family, I’ll help you feel comfortable and look your best.
Insider Stories: Along the way, I’ll share “insider” tips and historical anecdotes about the landmarks we pass.
Next-Day Delivery: You won’t have to wait weeks for your memories. Receive 60-90 professionally edited, high-resolution photos the very next day.
Acropolis Views: We always time our route to finish with breathtaking views of the Acropolis at the golden hour.
An assistant may be with us (only for 3-hour sessions) to help with equipment and free up your hands from bags, jackets, etc while you pose!

NOTE: This is a relaxed, walk & pose tour on a prearranged route through the picturesque old part of Athens. Even though I will make you feel and look like a superstar, the main idea is to capture your fun and happy moments from Athens in beautiful, touching photos, keeping it relatively simple.
If you have a special request or planning to bring extra clothes to change or aiming to wear a very special and outstanding dress or looking for something more personalized or any customization at all, please let me know early so I can make sure to meet your expectations!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our son’s christening. From the moment we met him, he was so warm, kind and professional, and genuinely felt like part of the family rather than just our photographer.

He captured the day so beautifully and was incredibly patient and accommodating, especially when things were delayed at the church. He stayed later than planned without hesitation to make sure we didn’t miss any of the important moments, which meant so much to us.

He made us feel completely comfortable throughout the day and captured so many beautiful, natural moments that we will treasure forever. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone talented, caring and genuinely passionate about what they do. Thank you so much for helping make such a special day even more memorable! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vasilis is absolutely brilliant! From the moment we met him in Athens, his quirky character and cracka one-line jokes instantly put our family at ease. He turned what could have been a rigid photo shoot into a fun, connecting, and memorable experience, sharing fascinating facts about Athens as we walked through the backstreets.
That incredible energy is completely reflected in the final photos he presented—they are absolutely amazing and captured our family's personalities perfectly. Not only are the photos stunning, but the entire experience created lifelong memories that we will cherish every time we look at them.
Vasilis's communication was always prompt and clear, and he delivered our photos within 48 hours. He truly knows how to operate a camera, creating incredibly creative shots straight out of the lens without needing any editing. If you are looking for a photographer who brings both incredible talent and great vibes, Vasilis is the one! Highly recommended. Look no further!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely amazing experience with Vasilis for our proposal photoshoot in Athens. From the very beginning, the arrangement was incredibly smooth and everything was perfectly organized.

The proposal at sunrise with the Acropolis in the background was truly magical, and Vasilis captured the moment beautifully. The photoshoot itself was amazing, he made us feel comfortable and natural, and the photos turned out even better than we could have imagined.

We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final photos. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with photographer in Athens, we highly recommend Vasilis!

 Verified Simply the best and most amazing photography tour in Athens!
Vasilis is such a great human being first and foremost! The passion and curiosity with which he explained the significance of each of the photography locations around Plaka, Anafiotika, Acropolis, the Agoras and Areophagus Hill is unrivalled! His tips for different photography poses, patience and calm made the journey very relaxed! He was even generous enough to recommend me restaurants and viewpoints in my upcoming trip in Santorini! I highly recommend this activity. Trust me, you will make fond memories of Athens!

 Verified The ONLY photographer you should hire when coming to Athens!
Vassilis is a gifted and generous photographer who will give you images and memories that you will treasure forever. He is so personable and makes everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. As someone who often feels awkward when being photographed, Vassilis was so helpful in giving clear instructions. He knows wonderful locations that are not only beautiful backdrops but are hidden gems that really help you get a sense of the real Athens, not just what all the tourists get to see. I have used him as a photographer on multiple occasions, for both me as an individual and for family photoshoots.

 Verified More Than a Photoshoot
Our experience with Vasilis was beyond wonderful, and our family photos exceeded all our expectations for an occasion so dear to our hearts. More than the beautiful pictures, the photoshoot itself became a special experience filled with storytelling, passion and laughter. Both the photographs and our encounter with Vasilis are memories that we and our children will cherish for years to come.
