Insights · Next day in Positano
Panagiotis and Anna were married in Ancient Corinth. For their next-day session we travelled to Positano, on the Amalfi Coast: a yellow car loaded with lemons, a walk along the beach and the houses of the village behind them.
In this article we show you their shoot and share what you need to know about a next-day session in Positano.

Why a next-day session in Positano
Positano is built into the cliffside, looking out over the Gulf of Salerno. Its houses step down to the sea, and from the road above the village you can see it all at once: the colourful houses, the mountains and the water.
For a couple, that means summer, colour and the sea in every picture, from the narrow steps of the village down to the beach.
The view of the village
The best-known picture of Positano is the whole village seen from above. It doesn’t take much: a low stone wall at the side of the road, the two of you, and the houses climbing the hill behind you.
The yellow car
A yellow open-top car appears in many of Panagiotis and Anna’s photographs: parked at the side of the road with Positano across the bay, with the two of them in the seats and the sea behind, and loaded with lemons, a wicker basket and a sign that reads “Positano”.
A car like this adds colour and gives you something to do with your hands: sit, lean, hold each other, without thinking about posing.
Lemons and fruit stalls
The Amalfi Coast is known for its lemons. At a fruit stall by the road, Anna was photographed among baskets of lemons, with lemons scattered even across the train of her gown.
The beach and the steps
Not every photograph was in the wedding gown. Panagiotis and Anna were also photographed in everyday clothes, on a walk along a pebble beach, and in lighter outfits, Anna in a short fringed dress, on the stone steps between the houses and on the beach below the village.
More than one outfit in a shoot adds variety to the set of photographs. If you are thinking about it, let us know in advance so that we can plan where to change along the route.
How to plan a next-day session in Positano
- Choose your season. May, June and September bring warm seas, soft light and fewer people. In July and August the village is busy and we only shoot very early. In winter many shops and hotels close.
- We start at first light, before the shops open and the lanes fill up. In the afternoon we come back for the golden light on the terraces.
- We plan the timing carefully. On the Amalfi Coast the light comes and goes behind the mountains.
- Allow for the steps. Positano is built into the cliffside, so we plan a route that mostly goes downhill, comfortable even in a wedding gown.
- Combine it with your honeymoon. The shoot usually takes place in the first days of the trip, so you can enjoy the rest of your holiday afterwards.
The nearest airport is Naples. If you like, a small boat shows you Positano as it looks from the sea. You will find all the spots and seasons on our page about photography in Positano and on the Amalfi Coast.
What to wear
Light summer fabrics: linen, silk, a dress that moves in the breeze. Bright colours such as lemon, coral or sky blue suit the village, and comfortable shoes are a must for all those steps.
Your wedding gown travels best in a proper garment bag, as cabin luggage. Ask your airline about the size it allows.
In Positano the backdrop is everywhere. The trick is to find it when the light is right and the lanes are quiet.
The wedding in Ancient Corinth
Before Positano, Panagiotis and Anna were married on 23 May 2026 at the Church of the Apostle Paul in Ancient Corinth, and the celebration continued at Ktima Pietri. You can see the whole story on their wedding page: Panagiotis & Anna.

Frequently asked questions about a next-day session in Positano
Do you travel to Positano for next-day shoots?
Yes. We travel with you or meet you there, and we plan the route together before the trip.
Are there a lot of steps in Positano?
A lot. Positano is built into the cliffside, so we plan a route that mostly goes downhill, comfortable even in a wedding gown.
Which season should we choose?
May, June and September bring warm seas, soft light and fewer people. In July and August we only shoot very early.
Can we be photographed from the sea?
Yes. Positano looks different from the water, and a small boat gives you pictures you can’t get from the shore.
Can we change outfits during the shoot?
Yes. Panagiotis and Anna were photographed in everyday clothes, in the gown and suit, and in lighter outfits. Let us know in advance what you are bringing, so we can build it into the route.
