Yachts are also a fun idea.
A little bit of history:
Everyone in Athens is drawn by the ancient monuments and the famous landmarks of the Greek capital, always stunning and bathed in the famous Greek light during summer.
The Acropolis, the Ancient or the Roman Agora, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, all lying in the very heart of Athens, are only some of the historical places that can illuminate your engagement photo album.

Especially if you are planning a Grecian-inspired wedding, a classic choice that never goes outdated is to get photographed in such places that can offer a backdrop that gives the ultimate Grecian feel.
Surrounded by sprigs of greenery:
A wedding photo session with you and your loved one posing in the summer sunshine surrounded by bright green leaves, grassy slopes or colorful flowers; can you think of anything better? After all, why pick a late spring or summer wedding date if you don’t long to take advantage of the unique features of these seasons?
The Athens National Garden right in the heart of the bustling metropolis is home to a wide assortment of flora and fauna, and an ideal choice for every couple seeking an attention-grabbing background for their photo session. Penteli and Parnitha mountains are also a great choice as they offer a panoramic view of the city and breathtaking landscapes.
* extra tip:
We always use pictures to narrate something; a pre-wedding photo session usually tells who you are, how your story began or what is your mutual passion, so think - what would be an ideal choice for you? For example, if you met in a park or you are hikers, it would be great to have a grassy or mountainous backdrop gracing the shoot.
In a retro mood:
Traditional, old and picturesque neighborhoods, like Plaka or Psirri below the Acropolis hill, can certainly instill a vintage feel, while narrow paved paths and neoclassical buildings can add a classic and romantic touch to your photos.
Dionisiou Areopagitou Pedestrian Street also offers the opportunity to capture the rich history of the city in clicks that reflect the unique mixture of an ancient world and the modern European architecture. In the center of Athens, you’ll also have the chance to get photographed among interesting old and graffiti-covered buildings that turn the urban decay into a stunning canvas.
It is a really original idea and as it all comes down to your wedding theme and concept, you may want to make the difference and have an industrial - urban feel in your wedding photos!
* extra tip:
Why not take some photos at the Monastiraki flea market too? It might sound a bit crazy, but think of the vivid colors of the market gracing your pre-wedding pictures. Keep in however that in this case there may be a lot of passers-by meddling with your photo shoot unless the session takes place really early in the morning.
A summer engagement photoshoot in Athens, Greece guarantees a lifetime experience. The quintessential Greek city provides an endless series of iconic locations, so get ready and excited, and go a little crazy for the camera.
