ATHENS PROPOSAL
Athens Proposal – Athens is the capital of Greece. A famous city that has its roots back to ancient years and continuous as one of the European Metropolis in our era!
So many people choose this destination for their wedding, various events and….marriage proposals!
ATHENS PHOTOGRAPHER
Photographer in Santorini, that is what I am looking for! That was the initial plan but Amit decided that he wanted to propose to Kaina at an other destination instead and guess which was his selection…..you guessed right, Athens!!
PHOTO TOUR
A couples photography session is a service I offer and there are some variations mainly based on the time length.
On this occasion we had enough time to walk around central historical Athens for some portraits and the proposal.
Time is always important as there is a continues battle of time vs quality (and quantity)!
PHOTOGRAPHY ON A COLD WINTER DAY
It was cold! That was an issue!! Or not? Well, both me and this lovely couple, we did not mind! “Lets go with the flow” we said!
We got advantage of all sunny intervals that appeared!
METHODS AND TECHNIQUES REGARDING A PROPOSAL
Most people believe that the best method is to have a photographer capturing the moment as a paparazzi, hidden somewhere and using a telephoto lens.
Well, that is not the ideal way to photograph a secret proposal! There are other ways to photograph (even to shoot video) a surprise proposal and capture from a close distance authentic feelings, expressions….the moment! Without of course the other half getting suspicious!
PORTRAITURE AND PROPOSAL IN ATHENS
A proposal (surprise or not) is almost every time combined with a portraiture session, either priorly or after the proposal and even better, before and after the proposal!
That is exactly what Amit wanted before his proposal to Kaina
IDEAL SPOT
Throughout the years and after photographed so many secret proposals and in so many places, I now know the ideal and best spots that exist in Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Thessaloniki, Halkidiki and in most places in Greece! Priorly to the big date all details are talked, explained and agreed. After taking in consideration, the season, the time, the weather and the requirements and preferences of the groom to be, we selected this amazing spot in Athens!
ATHENS PROPOSAL IN WINTER
Is it worth it? The weather is unstable, it might be cold or it may be rainy…even snow sometimes but that is very rare!
There will be just a few visitors though and the best spots will be there just for you 🙂 Therefore it depends what kind of person you are and your priorities!
COLOR AND BLACK AND WHITE
Simplicity in style and mood.
While both color and black and white format, worked well, I decided to present the color version.
By the way, on every project, I deliver each image both in color and black and white format.
