Sunrise
The village
Empty lanes and the village slowly lighting up above the sea.
A village that steps down to the sea, stair by stair. Pink, yellow and white houses, bougainvillea and lemon trees.
In the morning, before the lanes fill up, all you hear in Positano are the waves. And the two of you.
Why Positano
Sea, steps and colour
Positano is built into the cliffs, overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. Every step opens a new view, every terrace is a ready-made frame.
For a couple this means summer, colour and sea in every image. From the main beach to a small boat out at sea.
It suits an after-wedding session, a pre-wedding shoot or an elopement, with the village in the morning and the terraces at sunset.
The light
Three times of day in Positano and on the Amalfi Coast
On the Amalfi Coast the light comes and goes behind the mountains, which is why we plan the timing very carefully.
Morning
The sea
Blue water, boats and clear light on the beach.
Sunset
The terraces
Warm light on the colourful houses and the sea turning gold.
The places
Where we photograph
We plan the route together, depending on the light, the crowds and how many steps you want to climb.

Before you travel
Seasons, timing and what to wear
When to come
May, June and September have warm water, soft light and fewer people. In July and August the village is crowded and we only shoot very early. In winter many shops and hotels close.
The time that matters
We start with the first light, before the shops open and the lanes fill up. In the afternoon we return for the golden light on the terraces.
Styling
Light, summery fabrics: linen, silk, a dress that moves in the breeze. Bold colours such as lemon, coral or sky blue go well with the village. And comfortable shoes for all those steps.
The experience with us
Positano, step by step
We have photographed couples here, and we come whenever you like. We know which steps stay quiet, which terrace catches the light and when to go down to the sea before the ferries arrive. So you can simply 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.
- The first lightWe start in the empty lanes, while the village sleeps.
- The beachBoats, sea, a few gentle directions. We do not stage poses; we let you be together.
- A breakA swim, a cool drink, rest while the sun is high.
- Sunset on the terracesThe village golden from above, as the sun goes down.

Frequently asked questions
Are there a lot of steps?
A lot. Positano is built into the cliffs, so we plan a route that mostly goes downhill, comfortable even in a wedding dress.
Can we be photographed on a boat?
Yes. Positano looks different from the sea, and a small boat gives images you cannot get from land.
Do you travel from Greece for the shoot?
Yes. We travel with you or meet you there. 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 most popular seasons. Tell us your dates and we will let you know our availability.
