Firostefani
This small quiet village is actually an extension of Fira, Santorini’s capital. The name literally means Fira’s crown and it is only fitting because it is located on the highest part of that area. Its juxtaposition offers a plethora of magical views of the caldera and a beautiful and thrilling perspective of the volcano. The white houses on caldera are captivating enough to transform any engagement photoshoot in Santorini into real art!
Vlychada
Moon-shaped beach enveloped with large rock formations, sand stretching along the coastline gently adorned with white pebbles like pearls. Do I really need to say more!?
This lunar landscape formed by the sediment is probably something that you haven’t seen anywhere. If you want your photoshoot in Santorini to be special, why not do it in one of the most dreamy and unique places in the world? I guarantee you, it will be magical!
Profitis Ilias
The monastery of Profitis Ilias is the crowning jewel of Santorini, it is located on the highest point of the island, on the mountain carrying the same name. It was built in the 18th century and its architecture wears historic beauty that is characteristic for that particular period. Being high on a mountain, the view of this place gives an astonishing panorama of the south part of the island and sea. Just imagine a golden hour there, soft breeze and warm air igniting the spark of love. Because of its awe-inspiring views, it is one of my favorite places for a wedding photoshoot in Santorini!
Pyrgos

This traditional village which offers impressive views of the rest of the island is the former Capital of Santorini. Let yourself wander and wonderfully lose yourself in the narrow paths that are following a collection of tiny white houses and churches! You can stand in whichever alley you choose and still get an iconic photo. That is why Pyrgos is one of my favorite places for an engagement photoshoot in Santorini, you can experience the authentic spirit of a Greek village at its finest! If you wish for something that is even more scenic then the old constructions like the castle and churches will impress you with their monumental appearance.
