 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.

 Verified Photography Session With a Wonderful Person!
An amazing photographer, but even more a warm and friendly person who quickly becomes a friend. I have had two sessions with him now, separated by three years, and my time with him has been a true highlight of each trip. The photos are a wonderful record of the joy of my time in Greece!

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.

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.
