What’s Included in the Mykonos Private Photoshoot?

This experience is all about capturing your moments in a way that feels authentic and beautifully composed.

Choosing the Right Package

This is a flexible experience, which is great because not everyone wants the same thing. If you’re just after a quick snapshot or two, the 30-minute mini session is perfect—it’s in one location, easy to fit into a busy day. For those wanting a bit more variety and time to explore, the 1-hour classic session lets you visit one or two spots with more relaxed pacing.

The 2-hour premium session caters to couples or families wanting a wider selection, including different settings like beaches and charming alleyways. If you’re after a full day of shooting, maybe to capture sunrise, sunset, and everything in between, the half-day experience (up to 4 hours) is your best bet. For the truly committed, the full-day adventure captures the full essence of Mykonos, from its famous windmills to its secluded beaches, all in one trip.

Depending on what you choose, your photographer will help plan the locations, which will be tailored based on your preferences and the style you want to achieve. The result? A collection of images that truly tell your story on this gorgeous island.

What Makes the Locations Special?

The photographer’s local knowledge makes all the difference. You’ll visit the well-known spots like the windmills at sunset, capturing that iconic shot of Mykonos’ silhouette against the sky. But the real magic lies in the hidden corners—quiet alleyways with whitewashed walls, colorful doors, or secluded beaches that most travelers never see.

Several reviews mention how the photographer’s guidance made them feel comfortable, even if they’d never had professional photos taken before. One traveler said, “The guide was fantastic at making us feel at ease, and we loved discovering parts of the island we never knew about.” The ability to choose your locations beforehand allows you to create a varied portfolio, from romantic sunset shots to lively beach scenes.

What to Expect During the Photoshoot

Initially, you’ll discuss your vision and preferences—do you want romantic couple shots, fun group photos, or something more adventurous? The photographer will then suggest locations and help you plan your session timing, ideally early morning or late afternoon when the light is most flattering.

On the day, expect a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The photographer will guide you through poses but will also encourage natural expressions and candid moments. If you’re worried about looking stiff, rest assured—most clients find themselves laughing and having fun, which translates into the photos.

You might find yourself walking between locations, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Bringing a change of clothes can add variety, especially if you want to switch from casual to more elegant looks. The photographer’s expert eye will ensure your photos are well composed, with flattering angles and creative framing.

How Good Are the Photos?

From reviews, it’s clear that the quality of the final images is a highlight. Your photos are professionally edited, high-resolution, and delivered through an online gallery. Reviewers frequently mention how stunning the photos turned out, with one saying, “I was truly impressed by the quality and how natural the pictures looked.” The editing process enhances the images without overdoing it, keeping your photos natural and true to the moment.

Many travelers appreciate this because it means they leave with a genuine representation of their trip—photos that can be printed, shared, or kept as personal mementos. The cost might seem high at first glance, but considering the quality, personalized experience, and hours of shooting, it’s a worthwhile investment for many.

Plus, you get to choose the locations, which means you’re not limited to generic spots.

Who Should Consider This?

If you’re someone who values keepsakes of your travels and wants images that will last a lifetime, this is a strong option.

However, if you’re on a tight budget or prefer candid, spontaneous photos, you might find this a bit too formal. Also, if you’re not comfortable walking or standing for a while, consider your physical comfort—some locations may require a short walk or standing in sunlight.
