5.00absolute 10/10 experience! my husband and I eloped and Vasilis took our wedding photos in Athens and we could not be happier with how they turned out. You can feel how much he loves photography and the history of Athens throughout the experience. The photos are gorgeous and we had such an amazing time while taking them.

Wonderful Surprise Proposal

5.00Vasilis was amazing! We had issues on our end and were late to the photos but he worked with the time we had left and made it feel so special. He and my fiance planned a surprise proposal and it was so beautiful. He showed us parts of Old Athens that are less crowded and the photo opportunities were abundant. I highly recommend.
Special moments at the Acropolis

5.00This was one of the best things I have done on holiday. My son wanted to see the sights of Athens as he had been studying Greek history at school. We booked a late tour and met outside the Acropolis entrance. Vasilis was incredibly knowledgeable, and I had a little concern that it would engage my very active 10-year-old. I need not worry, Vasilis engaged him every step of the way and kept the conversation at a level my son understood. We walked and talked and the photographs we being taken at natural stops sometimes I had not realised. Vasilis captured some very special moments. Now that I am back home I will go visit the missing sister and let her know her sisters still think of her - The Caryatids of Erechtheion. This ended up being a very special trip. Thank you again for helping me make memories with my son Vasilis.
Best Decision in Athens

5.00Vasilis was one of the best decisions we made in Athens. He is a great tour guide with a wealth of knowledge and a passion about Athens since that is his home town. He is a great photographer and captured beautiful images of us and our group as we were exploring the city. Anyone considering a photographer, should book his 2 day picture tour. You'll casually explore all the great sights. Thank you again for everything !!

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!
