Morning
The lanes
White walls, blue doors, bougainvillea and quiet.
Fishing boats moored in the little harbour, a Venetian castle half sunk in the water, and white lanes climbing up from the sea.
Paros is the Cyclades with a smile. Lively but relaxed, elegant but simple.
Why Paros
The balanced side of the Cyclades
White villages with blue windows, mountain paths, beaches with granite rocks and chapels on every corner. An island that has a little of everything.
For a couple this means variety without stress: short distances, many settings and usually somewhere quiet.
It suits a wedding, an after-wedding session, a pre-wedding shoot or an elopement, with Naoussa at sunset and the granite rocks in the afternoon.
The light
Three times of day in Paros
In Paros the light is clear and bright. Mornings in the lanes are cool; in the afternoon the sun sets over the sea.
Afternoon
The rocks
Low sun on the granite and turquoise water.
Sunset
The harbour
Naoussa in golden light, the caiques and the first lights.
The places
Where we photograph
We plan the route together, depending on the light, the wind and the schedule of the day.
- NaoussaThe little harbour with the caiques and the Venetian castle.
- ParikiaThe lanes, the Kastro and the Panagia Ekatontapyliani.
- LefkesA mountain village with cobbled paths and views to the sea.
- KolymbithresGranite rocks in strange shapes out in the water.
- The chapelsWhite domes scattered across the landscape.
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 and Naoussa gets busy, so we shoot early and late.
Best time of day
We photograph the lanes early. We keep the afternoon for the rocks and the sunset for Naoussa or a quiet chapel.
Styling
White, ivory and soft pastels suit the island, while a bold colour stands out against the blue. Light, flowing fabrics move beautifully in the wind. For the rocks, comfortable shoes.
The experience with us
We know where the island is quiet
We have photographed couples here. We know which lanes empty first, where it is less windy when the meltemi blows 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 in the lanesWe start in the quiet alleys, before the island wakes up.
- The rocksSea, granite, a few gentle directions. We do not stage poses; we let you be together.
- A breakA swim, a meal, rest while the sun is high.
- Sunset in NaoussaThe harbour in golden light, as the first lights come on.

Frequently asked questions
Can we combine Paros and Antiparos?
Yes. Antiparos is a few minutes away by boat and gives even quieter, more natural images.
What if it is windy?
In summer the meltemi often blows. We know sheltered spots, and light fabrics moving in the wind often give the liveliest images.
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.
