Morning
The white rocks
Soft light on the chalk-white stone and turquoise water. Quiet hours before the swimmers arrive.
The rock under your feet is white and smooth as chalk. Around you there is only sea, in a turquoise that hardly looks real.
In Milos every shore has a different colour, a different stone, a different kind of silence.
Why Milos
An island shaped by a volcano
White, red and ochre rocks, caves and little coves, fishing villages with boats beneath the houses. Milos has a variety you rarely find on a single island.
For a couple this means different stories in a single day: from the lunar landscape of Sarakiniko to the lanes of Plaka at sunset.
It suits a wedding, an after-wedding session, a pre-wedding shoot or an elopement, with a route that changes scenery from shore to shore.
The light
Three times of day in Milos
In Milos the stone reflects the light. Mornings are clear and bright, afternoons warm and low.
Afternoon
The fishing villages
Colourful doors, boats and the sea almost inside the houses.
Sunset
The Kastro
From the top of Plaka the sun sets over the bay. Warm light and an open horizon.
The places
Where we photograph
We plan the route together, depending on the light, the wind and how much you want to move around.
- SarakinikoWhite volcanic rocks that look like the surface of the moon.
- KlimaThe colourful boathouses of the fishermen, right on the water.
- Plaka & KastroWhite lanes and a view at sunset.
- Mandrakia & FiropotamosSmall harbours with boats and peace and quiet.
- KleftikoRocks and sea caves out in the water, reached by boat.
Before you come
Seasons, timing and what to wear
When to come
From May to October. June and September have warm water and fewer people. In July and August the meltemi often blows, so we adapt the route to the wind.
Best time of day
The best-known spots fill up from midday, so we start early. We keep the sunset for Plaka or a quiet little harbour.
Styling
Light colours and natural fabrics such as linen and cotton blend with the stone and the sea. White or a bold colour stands out against the turquoise. The rocks call for comfortable shoes: you change before each frame.
The experience with us
We know which shore to choose each day
We have photographed couples here. We know which shore is sheltered when the wind blows, when Sarakiniko empties and where the sunset looks its best. So you can enjoy your day, and we take care of the rest.
- Before the tripWe talk about dates, styling and the kind of images that move you. We plan the route together.
- Morning on the rocksWe start early, while the light is soft and the shores are empty.

- A breakA swim, a meal by the sea, rest while the sun is high.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best photo spots in Milos?
Sarakiniko for the white rocks, Klima for the colourful boathouses and Plaka for the sunset. We combine them depending on the light and the wind.
Can we be photographed on a boat?
Yes. A boat trip to Kleftiko or to shores you can only reach by sea gives images you simply cannot get from land.
Can you also photograph our wedding there?
Yes. We cover every wedding exclusively with a double team: four professionals, not two professionals and two assistants. Your couple session can take place on the day itself or a few days later, as an after-wedding shoot.
How do travel expenses work?
We are based in Patras and travel all over Greece, to the mainland and the islands. Travel and accommodation costs are discussed from the start, so you know the full amount before you book.
Can we also have a film?
Yes, the photography can be combined with a wedding film. See examples on our Films page.
How early should we book?
The earlier the better, especially for the summer months. Tell us your dates and we will let you know our availability.
