Santorini: Private Couples Photoshoot with Local Photographer

Summary

Private Santorini photo session for couples with local guide

You’ll wander Santorini’s iconic spots like Oia and Imerovigli with a local photographer who knows all the best angles (and shortcuts). Expect laughter, unexpected backdrops, and 40 edited photos that actually feel like you — not just postcards. If you want, there’s an option for hair and makeup too. You might leave remembering more than just the pictures.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the way the blue domes in Oia almost glowed against the morning sky — not just bright, but sort of humming with color. Our photographer, Eleni, greeted us with this easy smile and a “don’t worry, you’ll forget the camera soon.” She knew every shortcut through those winding alleys (I’d have gotten lost in five minutes), and she kept pointing out little corners where the light hit just right. There was this one spot where you could smell fresh bread from a bakery below — I nearly forgot to pose because of it.

I’m not usually comfortable in front of a lens, but Eleni had us laughing within minutes. She’d say things like “pretend you’re locals” or ask us to walk hand-in-hand past a painted door — simple stuff, but it felt natural. At one point, she tried teaching me how to say ‘kalimera’ properly; my attempt made her laugh so hard she almost dropped her camera. The whole thing felt more like hanging out than some stiff photoshoot. And honestly, I didn’t expect to feel that relaxed.

We stopped in Imerovigli too — quieter than Oia, with these pale pink bougainvillea spilling over white walls. The wind picked up and my partner’s hair went wild (should’ve sprung for the hair & makeup add-on maybe), but Eleni said those were her favorite shots. By the end, we’d wandered through places I wouldn’t have found on my own. It wasn’t about perfect poses; it was about catching those small moments between us — even if I blinked at the wrong time or we both cracked up at nothing.
