- Next morning: one hour of engagement photos in the empty streets, with the ring and the news already out.

- Proposal photos in two to three days, the full gallery within a week.
- Free reschedule for weather on either day.
What it is
The proposal evening is emotional and fast. The next morning is the opposite: you both know what is happening, you have slept on it, and Oia at 07:30 belongs to you. Couples who book the bundle get the two sets of photos they actually wanted: the moment, and the two of them.
Alexandros's note: for the morning session I meet you at the Oia bus square at 07:15. By 08:30 the first tour groups arrive and we are done.
The bundle saves €149 against booking the two sessions separately.

Reviews
“Alexandros was incredible. He made us feel completely at ease and the photos came back in 3 days, 42 stunning images. Best decision we made for our Santorini trip.”
“He captured my proposal perfectly. She had no idea he was there. The photos are breathtaking. We've already recommended Alexandros to three other couples.”
Questions
How much does a proposal photographer cost in Santorini?
The Secret Proposal package costs €349: Alexandros photographs the moment from a hidden position, then shoots 20 minutes of portraits. You receive 50 or more edited photos within two to three days. Add a next-morning couple session for €549 in total, or a proposal film for €390.
Can we shoot on a catamaran or at our villa?
Yes. Villa terraces and hotel pools are among our favorite private spots, and we regularly photograph proposals on catamaran cruises below the cliffs of Oia. Catamaran proposals are quoted individually because the boat is booked separately.
Proposal or engagement shoot: what is the difference?
A proposal shoot captures the surprise itself, photographed from a hidden position, with portraits right after. An engagement shoot is a planned couple session once you are already engaged, often the next morning. The bundle covers both for €549.
Can you also film it or bring a second photographer?
Yes. The proposal film (€390) adds a one to two minute edit, with drone footage where permitted. For weddings a second photographer costs €350 and a wedding film starts at €1,490.
