 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Vasilis! Not only is he an incredibly talented photographer who captured beautiful, high-quality photos, but he also made the entire tour truly memorable. Throughout our walk through Athens’ Old Town, he shared fascinating insights about the city’s history, architecture, and local culture. His knowledge and passion made the experience so much more than just a photoshoot. He made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and the results exceeded all my expectations. The shots overlooking the Acropolis were especially breathtaking—they were true masterpieces. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens. Thank you, Vasilis, for an unforgettable experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thank you to Vasili our photographer. Vasili's photography is amazing. His creative flair, positive energy, passion and charismatic nature is reflected in his work. His knowledge of Greece and our culture connects with every photo his lens captures. Vasilis communication with me was prompt & detailed and he always followed up with a check in email - ticked all the boxes as he made the process of organising a photoshoot in Greece, coming from Australia smooth & seamless - well organised with suggested wardrobe tones and photo shoot locations. On the day, Vasili showed direction, vision and delivered on our goals - tested backgrounds, lighting and made every effort to create the perfect atmosphere. We walked through the beautiful streets of Athens, laughing and cherishing every moment which was reflected in his overall photo gallery. Highly recommended - he created a fun loving family photoshoot. Amazing, brilliant, talented photographer!! Best wishes Vasili ❤️

 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.
