Surprise Proposal!

Ioannis was amazing. He was great to work with before and during the surprise proposal. The pictures exceeded our expectations. My fiancee and myself, would easily recommend him to anyone planning a surprise proposal in Santorini.

Amazing experience

We had an amazing experience with Ioannis. He met us on time at our scheduled location meet up and got straight to work. We have never had a professional photo shoot before but Ioannis put us at ease and knew exactly how to instruct us. Our pictures came out so much better than what I was expecting. The hard thing now is to choose which ones to print!

Amazing photo shoot

We had an amazing experience with Ioannis. I booked him in advance before planning our honeymoon in Santorini. He was very professional and prompt to respond . We were picked up with a private car on time from our hotel and visited different locations on the island. The pictures turned absolutely beautiful and they were ready in just a week. He and his friend ( sorry I forgot his name ) were very pleasant and easy to work with. They had professional equipments and I highly recommend them. Make sure to communicate what you prefer as far as more buildings or more nature backgrounds. We hope to go back soon for another photo shoot session.

Amazing photos, relaxing photo session with friendly photographers

We requested an hour photo session for our honeymoon. Although we were not ideal models, who are not dressed up well and not used to being taken photos, everything was smooth and the photos we received were just AMAZING! They will give you right instructions on posing during the session and you can trust their sense of photos/images. Totally recommended.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
