5.00Vassili is an amazing photographer who delivered more than expected. He has a great eye, knows all the hidden spots around the Acropolis and made my kids very much at ease, so that the photos looked very natural. He is a master of lights and we got amazing colours.
Mission Impossible accomplished

5.00It was a pleasure working with Vasilis. He was very prompt with replies and suggested great locations for our family of 5. It is never easy to get perfect family photos with 3 teenage boys and 1 middle aged dad who are not keen in posing for photos. But Vasilis accomplished the impossible. On the day of our shoot, he brought his assistant who helped him with lighting and watched our bags and jackets. Our photos turned out beautifully. We all looked very natural and not posed. Vasilis really captured all of us in our true essence. On top of that, we got our photos download link the very next day. He provided us with one iink for low resolution for social media and one high resolution link for printing. I especially love the composition of his photos. They all look like magazine covers. Even my boys were very impressed by his work and downloaded some photos on their phones. Besides taking beautiful photos, he also entertained us with interesting story of Athens. I would recommend him 10/10 times to anyone looking for a photo tour in Athens.

5.00My entire Photo Shoot experience with Vasilis receives 5 stars !! his communication skills, professional standards of excellence & friendly personality immediately puts you at ease, resulting in Magical Moments captured on film, his local knowledge guides you to the best places to be at the right time, so you have multiple options & photo's to choose from, despite the early crowds his patience paid off by getting photo's with perfect backdrops, I highly recommend Vasilis for creating lifetime memories !!
One of the best experiences we have ever done.

5.00Vasilis is a blessing to the world of photography. I booked a private tour for a surprise engagement in Athens, and I was looking online for someone who could inspire me to make the big move, without being too cheesy, classic, or obvious. For several days, I couldn’t really find what I wanted. Then I found Vasilis’ website, and I knew he was the one who could make it happen. From the moment we met, the connection was real, it felt like spending time with a longtime friend. After several amazing shots, he brought us to the most beautiful parts of the city, surprising us with historical gems and making the whole experience truly unique. I’ve been to Athens a few times, but I had never seen the city from such an interesting and beautiful perspective. We laughed, played with different shots and lights, all under Vasilis’ great inspiration. He seemed to find the perfect photo at every corner. The grand finale came when we went to the top of a hill, where the last shot of the day was planned. Vasilis went above and beyond to make this a truly special moment in our lives. We will always be grateful for the day we met him and for his incredible talent
Do this! You won't regret it!

5.00I cannot say enough great things about this photo session! Not only do you get outstanding photos of your memories in Athens, you also go to places you may not have even thought about going! They know the nooks and side streets for the best visuals. Our photographer was so nice and very knowledgeable about the area. I would recommend this tour 1000%! The photos were magical!
Going the extra mile!!

5.00Vasileios took on a job for me (I'm in Australia, he's in Athens) that involved photographing a piece of public property so that I could blow up the result and make a nice print for a friend. He really bought into what I was trying to do, was genuinely interested in my story about why i wanted what i did, did lots of legwork to make it happen before I'd even paid him and advised me on the best way to get what I wanted. To say I'm thrilled with the result is an understatement!!
Engagement proposal photoshoot tour

5.00From the first point of contact with Vasilis to organise the engagement proposal photoshoot, I immediately felt everything was going to be in safe hands. After reading Vasilis' past experiences of doing photography I felt reassured that nothing would go wrong. Vasilis has excellent communication skills with me via email in the build up to the engagement proposal photoshoot. During the engagement photoshoot itself, Vasilis had clearly great knowledge of Athens and took my fiancée and I to different spots and avoided the big crowds. We felt totally relaxed during the photoshoot and at times it didn't feel we were actually being photographed. This all comes down to Vasilis for making us calm at the beginning before the walking photoshoot tour and explaining to is what will happen. Vasilis has a great personality and very friendly which made us feel that we knew each other for a long time. From all the scenery during the walk to a sunset proposal it was all absolutely brilliant. We would highly recommend Vasilis for anyone who wants to have a photoshoot in Athens. The picture quality of the photos were absolutely magnificent and we're delighted with them. We hope to catch up with Vasilis in the future either in the UK or Athens or somewhere around the world!

Big shout out to this wonderful soul for capturing this amazing moment for us!

5.00Big shout out to this wonderful soul, no one is gentler or sweeter or kinder. Vasilis is that small package good things come in. He was witty and smart and laughed with us and shared stories. He is such a gentleman. He made us feel at ease and from the very first moments and knew it was an one of a kind man. He’s very professional, very courteous, knowledgeable and committed to his work. He captured our special moment and we couldn’t ask for it to be better. The photos are just gorgeous the scenery is breathtaking. It’s a privilege to call him a friend despite only knowing him for a few short hours. He is highly recommended by us and we do hope to see him in the near future.
Nice photography tour

5.00I had a wonderful experience on the photography tour with Stavros. The photos turned out fantastic, and I really enjoyed the entire session. Stavros was nice and patient, providing guidance on poses and how to make the most of each shot. He also did a good job of identifying beautiful spots for photography, making the tour both enjoyable and productive. It is worthwhile for anyone looking for nice photos while exploring stunning locations in Athens to hire the team.
