photographer at Santorini testimonials reviews
Josh and Kristina
We hired Athanasios for our wedding photoshoot and wedding at Santo Wines Winery in Santorini and then the reception at PyrgosRestaurant Santorini in September 2018, and we can’t recommend him highly enough.
We had no experiance with photoshoots, and were very unsure about what we needed to ask for, or where to take great photos. Thankfully Athanasios had everything under control, and was able to recomend some amazing places and direct us through our day.
In terms of photography, Athanasios really helped the day go smoothly, which really helped us to keep calm on the day – one less thing to think about.
Most importantly, Athanasios provided us with hundreds of amazing photo memories that we wil cherrish forever.
Here is a link to a few photos from our day: https://www.happybridegroom.com/wedding-photography-pyrgos…/
Thank you so much Athanasios!!

Fantastic photographer – well-worth the expense for your special, once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Athanasios is just awesome and should probably be charging double what he does. Extremely talented guy, and very, very likable. We will meet him again in the future. I did massive amounts of homework into photographers available in Santorini and have absolutely no regrets having chosen Athanasios.

Our fabulous photographer Athanasios Papadopoulos was the best photographer you could ask for. He smiled the full day and made the photo sessions both relaxing and fun. I had seen some of his work on the internet and had asked him to recreate some of his shots with the Santorini Back drop. Our photos are amazing, and we have had so many compliments from friends, family, and other brides looking for a photographer as talented as Athanasios.
Simi and Nisheeth
Having Athanasios to do our wedding photos is one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. He’s a creative and talented photographer and caught some amazing moments on camera for me and my family to cherish years from now. He comes with not just great talent but a high and positive energy and we really enjoyed having him our wedding. We highly recommend him

If you haven’t yet found your wedding photographer, Thanasis is the one! Regardless where you are getting married he will turn the place into your wedding paradise with his photos. He will guide you but at the same time he will give you freedom so that you can be yourself. He ‘ll just be there to capture the correct moment, the passion kiss, the family tear, the loving hug, the friendship laughs, the crazy dancing moves, the smiles. He will turn your day into unforgettable memories that will last forever.
Thank you for everything T.
With love,

«The first thing we want to say is what an absolute pleasure it was to have Athanasios as our wedding photographer, the most important day of our lives. His kind, gentle, considerate, patient and professional nature alone are a plus plus point. Then of course, his work, he exceeded our expectations!!! I mean we knew when we chose him that he was amazing, but when we saw the photos they were even BEYOND amazing!! When we showed our families our photos they got emotional, there were happy tears, laughter & smiles, he gave us the chance to RE-LIVE our wedding day through the pictures as well as for our loved ones that could not be there feel like they were a part of that special day…he captured great moments without even noticing him doing his job during the events. Everyone said they felt our pictures were out of a fashion magazine!! Great talent, amazing skills, creativity at its best and real quality is what we got from Athanasios. Probably the best decision we made! If we could we would write him a thank you e-mail everyday for the rest of our lives just to show our appreciation!»

First things first, you will completely forget Athanasios and he will capture the bests moments of your day; these moments you didn’t even realize that were happening. Looking back at the pictures we really enjoyed the photo shooting we did the evening before the wedding in Mykonos, this was a special moment between us and Athanasios, he manage to quickly understand our couple to put us in places where we would fit and not any other couple in order to capture our feelings through his pictures which is a remarkable work. Athanasios will surprise you by proving you the key moments and the small details that are not focused directly on the bride and groom, which we loved as this shows the spirit of the wedding as well. We couldn’t have wished for a more professional and friendly photographer . Thank you again for your amazing work
Just before the year 2018 arrives I found some time to share with you some of the flattering (of course…who would publish any other comments! Honestly and thankfully I have not received any such 🙂 letters I received regarding my photographic skills and my personality!!
This is something that I should have done regularly and consistently as my SEO expert assures me but hey, I am a photographer and I find it difficult to compromise and spent more time in social media and promoting my web page and work than in my actual photographic work! (sorry SEO, I will try and improve next year)
So, say and write no more … I will let my clients and new friends speak for me instead… I am sorry if I have left some of you out but as I wrote before, I have some difficulties being organised and consistent at this “bureaucratic” stuff 🙂

Riza and Mark
When I decided to get married in Santorini, the most important thing was to find a great photographer. As gorgeous as Santorini is, who wouldn’t want amazing photographs to capture the biggest and happiest day of your life? With this in mind, I began my tedious search online. The beauty of Athanasios’ remarkable, creative photographs stood out amongst hundreds of websites I’ve seen and grabbed my attention immediately. He was the only one I found to capture Santorini’s landscape in all its glory. In my opinion, a perfect wedding photograph is when the bride & groom is the subject, coupled with the location’s highlights to be the background, and for it to be as visible and interesting (meaning attractive colors, lighting that complements the subject as well as the background, creativity, structure, etc.) as possible, enough to captivate a person’s attention. I believe the subject and the location should complement each other and create a punchline and this is what Athanasios has accomplished so effortlessly.
With that said, I was delighted to see Athanasios in person after exchanging emails with him for months. He was very patient and answered all of my questions promptly, and even gave us a few tips about Santorini. He made us feel very comfortable instantly. He started shooting as soon as we arrived Santa Irina. After the ceremony, we went to Thira for our post wedding photoshoot. He had us climbing rooftops and domes which were all amazing experiences.
Of course when he sent the photos it was nothing less than perfect. They were amazing and we couldn’t get any more compliments from friends and family and even from strangers. I printed one of my favorites and displayed it in a frame in my office and not one person passed by that did not express their oohs and aaahs!!! He sent about 950 incredible photos, all of great quality. We are honestly having a hard time choosing the main photo to blow up because they’re all breathtaking.
It gives me chills and takes me back to Santorini and how it felt like every time I look at our photos. Soooo, Athanasios — we are beyond grateful for making our wedding day most memorable. We are so very much blessed to have chosen you as our photographer as these photos will last a lifetime. THANK YOU and may your God-given talent continue to flourish!!!

Words cannot express how grateful we are to Athanasios for capturing the most beautiful pictures of our engagement in Santorini. Not only was Athanasios such a pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable during the shoot, but the pictures are absolutely spectacular!! I initially was simply hoping for a few decent photos of us, but Athanasios was able to promptly deliver over 200 phenomenal photos with each picture being better than the last. We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him, as well as to have these stunning photos for years to come. His work truly speaks for itself. We cannot thank you enough Athanasios!!!
