A proposal, filmed

Eighty-eight seconds from a surprise proposal in Imerovigli: the drone over the caldera, the terrace lit with sparklers, the yes. Films are an add-on to any proposal package.

Where we shoot

Three villages, each with its own hour. The locations guide ranks every spot by light and crowd level.

All photo spots
Bride with a long veil walking along a cobbled path in Oia, Santorini Oia

The postcard: blue domes, the castle ruins, the windmills and the long walk down to Ammoudi. It is also the busiest village on the island from 17:00 until dark.

Sunrise to 09:00 for empty alleys; 60 to 30 minutes before sunset for the domes and the castle, but from the terraces above the crowd.

Couple on the roof of the Agios Georgios chapel with Skaros Rock and the sea shining Imerovigli

The highest village on the caldera and the quietest of the three. Skaros Rock.

Golden hour, 70 to 10 minutes before sunset, on the chapel terrace below Skaros; sunrise for the blue-domed Anastasi church.

Couple on the pier of the old port of Fira at sunset, the caldera cliffs behind Fira and Firostefani

The capital: the caldera path, the Three Bells, white hotels stacked on the cliff and the old port below.

Morning for the caldera path and rooftops; sunset from a private terrace rather than the main walkway.

Questions

All 40 questions
How much does a photographer cost in Santorini?

Independent photographers in Santorini charge about €150 to €300 for 30 to 60 minutes and €350 to €700 for two to three hours. We charge €349 for one hour with 60 or more edited photos, and every extra hour adds €150 and 50 photos. Weddings start at €349 for one hour and run to €2,290 for a full day of eight hours.

Is it worth hiring a professional photographer in Santorini?

If you want photos of both of you at the right spot in the right light, yes. Phone photos from the busy viewpoints rarely work: the light is behind you, the crowds are in the frame and nobody is in the picture together. A local photographer knows which terrace is empty at 19:10 and which path catches the last light.

How far in advance should I book?

Four to eight weeks ahead for June to September, when sunset slots fill first. Two to three weeks is usually enough in spring and autumn. Last-minute requests are welcome; we answer within 24 hours and often the same day.

What happens if it rains?

We move the session to another time or day at no cost. Rain is rare from May to October, but strong wind is not, so we decide together the day before and switch to a sheltered village or a later slot when needed.

How many photos will I receive, and are they all edited?

60 or more for one hour, 110 or more for two hours, 160 or more for three hours, 60 or more for a one-hour proposal. Every delivered photo is edited for color and light. We do not deliver RAW files.

How and when do we get the photos?

In a private online gallery with full-resolution downloads. Proposals arrive within two to three days, sessions within one week, weddings within four to six weeks with a sneak peek inside 48 hours. Express delivery within 48 hours is a €90 add-on.
