Morning
The Old Town
Empty alleys, balconies and squares before the cafés open.
Greece / Peloponnese
Nafplio
Wedding and couple photography among neoclassical houses, fortresses and the sea
Balconies with bougainvillea, neoclassical houses in pastel colours, and in the distance the Bourtzi out in the sea.
Nafplio is a town for walking. Every alley leads you to a square, a step, a view.
Why Nafplio
Town, fortress and sea within walking distance
Venetian fortresses, neoclassical mansions, marble-paved squares and a seaside promenade beneath the rocks.
For a couple this means variety within a few steps: the town, the castle and the sea.
It suits a wedding, an after-wedding session a few days later, a pre-wedding shoot or an elopement, with the Old Town in the morning and Arvanitia at sunset.
The light
Three times of day in Nafplio
In Nafplio the light changes with the sea. Mornings are clear and cool; in the afternoon the town turns golden.
Afternoon
The fortresses
The stone of Palamidi and Akronafplia in warm light.
Sunset
Arvanitia
The promenade beneath the rocks and the sun over the Argolic Gulf.
The places
Where we photograph
We plan the route together, depending on the light and how much you want to walk.
- Old TownAlleys, balconies with flowers and neoclassical houses.
- Syntagma SquareA marble-paved square surrounded by historic buildings.
- PalamidiThe fortress above the town, overlooking the whole gulf.
- BourtziThe little castle in the sea, seen from the waterfront.
- ArvanitiaThe promenade by the water, ideal at sunset.
Before you come
Seasons, timing and what to wear
When to come
All year round. Spring and autumn have soft light and mild weather. At weekends and in summer the town gets busy, so we shoot early and late.
Best time of day
We photograph the Old Town early, before it fills up. We keep the sunset for Arvanitia or the view from the fortress.
Styling
The town has elegance: classic lines, satin, linen. Pastels and white blend with the neoclassical houses. Palamidi has many steps: bring comfortable shoes.

Frequently asked questions
Is it worth going up to Palamidi?
The view is wide open, but there are many steps. We often drive up by road and photograph on the walls without getting tired.
What is the best time of day?
Early morning for the Old Town and sunset for the Arvanitia promenade.
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.
