Proposal photographer in Chania
Planning a proposal in a town you don't know is mostly a logistics problem: where, what time, which direction the light is coming from, and how to get there without it looking arranged.
We work that out over WhatsApp beforehand. On the day I'm already in position with a long lens before you arrive, you don't look for me, and I only come over once it's done. Then we photograph the two of you properly, while you're both still slightly shaking.

Timing and light
Quieter corners of the Old Town and the harbour wall work best. The lighthouse is beautiful but busy — it needs the right hour.

Yannis is an excellent photographer who has the ability to relate, cater for and understand his audience very quickly. Not only are his photographs of a high quality but he makes the process of taking them fun and unobtrusive. Yannis showed us corners of Chania we would never have seen without him, nor would we have known that they hold the background for the best photographs. He managed to capture the wonderful memories of our family holiday for posterity. Not an easy achievement. I recommend him fully and wholeheartedly.

We had such a wonderful experience with Yannis! From the very beginning, communication was excellent — he was friendly, professional and made us feel completely comfortable during the photoshoot. We did a sunset session in Agia Marina with my husband and our little daughter, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. He captured some really special and natural moments of our family, and I especially love the photos at sunset and in the water. He was also very patient and lovely with our daughter, which meant a lot to us. The whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable, and the final photos are memories we will treasure forever. I would definitely recommend Yannis to anyone visiting Chania and looking for a talented and professional photographer. Thank you so much!

We had an incredible experience with our family photoshoot in Chania! From start to finish, everything was seamless. He was professional, efficient, and had an amazing eye for every detail—from the lighting and backgrounds to the little candid moments that made the photos feel so natural. We never felt rushed, yet he captured so many beautiful memories in such a short amount of time. We absolutely love the photos and will treasure them for years to come. Highly recommend!

Questions people ask
Will my partner know you are there?
That's the whole point of planning it properly. We agree the spot and the timing in advance, I photograph from a distance with a long lens, and I only introduce myself once the question has been asked. Afterwards we photograph the two of you together.
