My husband and I had a memorable experience with Vasileios during our honeymoon! Through his photography, he truly captured our honeymoon memories in the heart of Edinburgh. He went the extra mile to find the best hidden spots to capture background scenery and made sure we were comfortable with the whole experience. He was also a great asset in recommending poses. Vasileios's communication and planning skills are exceptional. I highly recommend him as the quality of the experience is worth the value!
Regina November 2022 FANTASTIC!!!!!! The rain didn't stop us! Vasileios was so professional and prepared that he even carried a wonderful umbrella with him, which was helpful and also used as a very stylish prop during the photoshoot! He was full of ideas during the experience and I was able to have great photos thanks to Vasileios' posing tips and the beautiful locations he guided me to!!!! He is such a friendly and heartwarming person and I was lucky to have met him and photoshoot by him! I believe everyone visiting Edinburgh should book a photoshoot experience with him!!!
Vasileios was great. He added so much warmth to the shoot with his friendly nature. I am a very shy person by nature, but he helped get me comfortable during my couple shoot. He suggested loads of things including style, and postures, due to which our photoshoot results were excellent. He even asked us the characters we like and the places we would want to go for a photoshoot. This added so much personal touch to all our pictures. Thanks! We would love to book again.
Danielle September 2022 Highly recommend Vasileios for photos in Edinburgh! Absolutely fantastic experience from booking through to receiving final photos. My husband and I don't typically have photos taken of us, but this was a trip we wanted to celebrate. I chose Vasileios over other available photographers listed here due to his posted portfolio, price, and page description (we wanted to do it right if we were finally getting photos of us!). So glad we picked this experience. Vasileios communicated start time and location well, was extremely friendly and easy to work with, and even offered some history and great recommendations on places to eat/visit! We ended up with excellent photos to remember this trip and this time in our lives.
My husband was a little hesitant about the idea of a photo session, but several times throughout our photos, he said, “This is great - I’m so glad we’re doing this!” We’re celebrating our 25th anniversary, and what better souvenir to have than professional photos in Edinburgh! Vasileios was warm & friendly, professional and honestly, I really love his work (look him up on Insta @vasakos_3vh). It was a fun evening & you’ll enjoy having Vasileios take you to many beautiful spots in Old Town! Highly recommend!
He was fantastic! Super communicative! He accommodated our early time (we had a busy sight seeing schedule). He made sure we had several photos we were happy with before leaving each location. He was very easy to talk to and tell him what my insecurities were and he accommodated them (we all have them) . We had a very sunny day and he worked with it even though he wasn’t used to the early morning sun at the sites we shot at. Absolutely recommend!
