What it is
The Golden Hour Session is the one most couples book on their first trip: one hour in the last light, one village, no running between spots. We walk slowly, you get a few quiet directions, and the photos look like you rather than like a pose.
Alexandros's note: in Imerovigli I start on the chapel terrace at about 19:10 in July, not on the summit of Skaros. The terrace keeps the sun on your faces for twenty minutes longer and the path behind it is empty by then.
The session is priced per group of up to four people. Families with young children do better on the Family Session, which runs the same length at the same price with a calmer pace.

A typical session
We meet at the chapel terrace in Imerovigli, five minutes from the main road. A quick chat about outfits and the light.
Cliff path toward Skaros Rock. The caldera is behind you, the sun still high enough to light faces.
Skaros terrace for the golden-hour frames, the ones most couples use as their main print.
Last frames in the blue hour, back at the chapel. Alexandros confirms the delivery date before you leave.
Times for a July date in Imerovigli. The booking calendar shows the sunset time for your day.
Where
Sunrise to 09:00 for empty alleys; 60 to 30 minutes before sunset for the domes and the castle.
Morning for the caldera path and rooftops; sunset from a private terrace rather than the main walkway.

Questions
How much does a Santorini photoshoot cost?
Our couple and honeymoon sessions cost €349 for one hour, €499 for two hours in two villages and €649 for three hours across three villages with transport included. Prices are per group of up to four people, with no payment until we confirm your date.
Is the price different if friends come along?
Couple sessions are priced per group of up to four people, so two friends can join at no extra cost. Families of up to six book the Family Session at €349; beyond six people we add €40 per extra family. Larger groups get a quote.
How long is a session?
One, two or three hours for couples, families and tours. A surprise proposal takes about one hour including 20 minutes of portraits after the yes. Elopements run three hours, weddings six or ten.
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, 50 or more for a proposal. Every delivered photo is edited for color and light. We do not deliver RAW files.
We arrive on a cruise ship. Can we book?
Yes. We time the session to your tender hours and meet you in Fira or Firostefani, a few minutes from the cable car. One hour is enough for the caldera path and a rooftop; two hours adds Imerovigli. Tell us the ship and its departure time when you request a date.
