Morning
The lanes
Pebble-mosaic courtyards, white walls and mansions in the first light.
A horse carriage passes along the harbour. The cannons of the Dapia look out to sea and the mansions stand proudly behind high walls.
Spetses belongs to another era. Elegant, quiet, with the sea always beside you.
Why Spetses
Grandeur, sea and history
Captains' houses with pebble-mosaic courtyards, boatyards with wooden caiques, pine forests running down to the sea. Private cars are not allowed in the town centre, and that changes the rhythm.
For a couple this means calm and elegance: a carriage ride, a lane with bougainvillea, a sunset at the Old Harbour.
It suits a wedding, an after-wedding session, a pre-wedding shoot or an elopement, with the mansions in the morning and the Old Harbour at sunset.
The light
Three times of day in Spetses
In Spetses the light is soft, thanks to the pines and the sea. In the afternoon the harbour turns golden.
Afternoon
The Old Harbour
Caiques, boatyards and the sun sinking over the water.
Sunset
The lighthouse
The harbour entrance, the lighthouse and the sky in pink and gold.

Before you come
Seasons, timing and what to wear
When to come
From April to October. May, June and September have warm water and a quiet island. In July and August the island is busy, so we shoot early and late.
Best time of day
We photograph the lanes early. We keep the afternoon and sunset for the Old Harbour and the lighthouse.
Styling
Spetses loves elegance: linen, satin, a well-tailored suit. White, ivory and the blue of the sea suit the island. For the pebbles, comfortable shoes.
The experience with us
We know the rhythm of the island
We have photographed couples here. We know how to get around the island without a car, when the harbour empties and where the light falls in the afternoon. So you can enjoy your day, and we take care of the rest.

Frequently asked questions
How do we get around the island?
Private cars are not allowed in the town centre. We move by taxi, water taxi, carriage or on foot, and we include all of this in the plan for the day.
Can we come by car?
You leave the car at Kosta, on the Peloponnese coast opposite, and cross by boat in a few minutes.
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.
