Dimosthenis was very helpful in the setup of the shoot. He even helped me find my transportation to the meeting spot. He was kind, courteous and funny and I'm very pleased with my photos. It wasn't just a shoot. It was a memory.-TiffanyView Photographer profile
Dimosthenis is just awesome! He was on time, he made us comfortable and relaxed during the photo shoot, and made the whole session fun. He is even good with kids, our grandson had a great time as well. All the pictures are just superb and beautiful. Made our Santorini tour more memorable. Highly recommend him!-Cora MView Photographer profile
Dimos was amazing! He made us feel very comfortable during our photoshoot! He listened to exactly the kind of pictures that I was looking for to caption our honeymoon. He took us to beautiful places in Oia where we got amazing photos!! Truly he knew all the spots, and even if a spot had a bunch of people waiting to take a pic, he was quick with judgment and brought us to a better spot to save time. He recommended we meet at 6.45 am and it was perfect, not to hot and not any crowds to get in our photos. I am very happy that I choose him. My friends and family said our photos are stunning and beautiful! Thank you SO much Dimos!!!"-DanaView Photographer profile
Kristo was amazing. Very professional and meticulous for the important shots. Furthermore, he played a huge role in my surprise proposal but pretending to be a an ordinary tourist who was able to capture the moment naturally.-Jake GolowView Photographer profile
Panos was extremely helpful before we even got there. We were on a cruise, and he helped me with details like the Uber and where to eat. Once the shoot started, he helped us navigate, carry things, and pose. He was friendly, and we plan on using him again the next time we visit.-RebeccaView Photographer profile
We had such a great time during our photoshoot! Dimosthenis was so nice from the moment we met and made sure everyone was comfortable while assisting with poses. He beautifully captured the morning light while leading us to some amazing Santorini backdrops!-KatieView Photographer profile
It was a pleasure working with Dimosthenis. His 7-year background in photography really shines in the photos he takes and his well-liked mannerisms to his clients.

He was one of the first ones to reach out to me when I inquired about photography services. He understood what we wanted in our photo shoot, set realistic expectations for us, and even gave us some pointers.

On the day of the shoot, he arrived at the meeting point earlier than we did. He was well prepared as he knew all the great spots to take beautiful photos around Oia. Dimosthenis is a very likable and charismatic guy, and it would be a pleasure to work with him again.

Thank you for making our dream shoot come true!-BenView Photographer profile
Our shoot and photographer were both outstanding. It was a great experience. My wife and I both felt comfortable and had a ton of fun.-ChadView Photographer profile
Dimosthenis was very nice and patient with our family! We love our photos!-ChristineView Photographer profile
Dimosthenis is a magician with a camera! He was so patient and helpful throughout our photoshoot. All of our photos came out amazing!

Thank you, Dimosthenis, for the wonderful experience and memories of our trip to Santorini that we’ll cherish forever.-Marina & JordanView Photographer profile

A babymoon is a way for parents to celebrate the coming of a new member to the family, and that, of course, needs to be commemorated. ⁣

The people have spoken, and the top spot to propose in Florence is 🥁🥁 Piazzale Michelangelo!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Piazzale Michelangelo is located atop a hill overlooking the entire city. The Duomo, Palazzo della Signoria, and Ponte Vecchio are all clearly visible, making it one of the most romantic and beautiful places to bend the knee! 💍✨⁣
⁣
It is also a bit far from all the major tourist attractions, helping you avoid the touristy crowds, so the trek to the top of the hill is definitely worth it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And even if there’s a bit of a crowd, couples can always find a private corner for an intimate proposal. 👉 Nearby Piazzale Michelangelo,  there is a great spot near Basilica San Miniato al Monte with a staircase with a great view and far fewer people.⁣⁣
