Beautiful pictures and wonderful overall experience with a professional photographer! No waiting in lines, it was a quick and easy experience!
I had a great time and had great photos.
Shaqayeq really gave me some poses for the pictures and was helpful in advising what would be the best time to take pictures.
We had a wonderful experience for our photo shoot. She thoughtfully coordinated with us to meet at the right location on WhatsApp and then took the most memorable pictures of my son and me during our magical Santorini visit! Definitely book; you will be so happy you did!
We are SO grateful we booked this experience with Shaqayeq! We had the best time and couldn’t be happier with how our family photos turned out. Getting those beautiful blue domes as the backdrop was a dream, and honestly, the access to the spots and angles you can’t get without a photographer made the experience completely worth it on its own.
Shaqayeq was amazing from start to finish. She was so professional, but also made everything feel easy and relaxed. She gave us such clear directions and knew exactly where to position us to get the best photos. She was also SO good with our kids, which made such a difference! She was patient, engaging, and somehow managed to get everyone smiling and looking at the camera.
I literally couldn’t be happier with our photos or the experience. These are memories we’ll have forever, and I’m so glad we decided to do this. If you’re going to Santorini and thinking about booking a photographer, do it — and book with Shaqayeq! You won’t regret it!
Awesome experience. Our photographer Shaqayeq was super efficient and professional. She had access to many locations that were blocked off to regular travellers allowing us to skip the queues to amazing photo spots. Our family pictures looked amazing and she was very accommodating allowing us to extend our photo shoot for an additional 30 minutes so we could also have sunset pics. I highly recommend her as your photographer if you want amazing pics as she can even edits the pics you choose.
Farhang was very professional and was excellent. She guided us throughout the photoshoot and was very patient as well. She got the best out of us and we are very happy with the outcome of the photos
I loved how every photo turned out! If you're in Athens and you are thinking of doing a photoshoot but don't want to spend too much of your time doing it then this is perfect. Our photograp was friendly, professional, talented and fast which was much appreciated in the summer heat. We love how every single photo turned out!!! We also received the photos quite soon after the shoot which was great. Thank you Shaqayeq for these memories!
Shaqayeq was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. The photos turned out stunning, and the entire experience was well organized and stress-free. The final images perfectly captured the beauty of Santorini and our special moments. Highly recommended!
My family and I had a wonderful experience with Shaqayeq! She was thorough and efficient with all our shot locations, and had a number of poses prepared. Mind you, I travelled with my two boys (4 y/o and 5 y/o), and she was so patient and kind with them. Communication was never an issue with her, she even messaged me the day before to ask if I wanted to change my time slot to something earlier (when there would be better lighting and less crowds). Additionally, she recommended a local driver for us to make our transition from the cruise port in Fira to Oia easier. I’ve gotten the previews of what she took and they look even better than I could have ever imagined! All-in-all, a wonderful experience with an even more wonderful photographer!
We absolutely loved our experience! We wanted to have professional photos taken during our honeymoon because we knew we’d have plenty of iPhone pictures, but we wanted something extra special to remember our trip by. Our photographer was so sweet, patient, and made us feel completely comfortable during the shoot. She knew all the best spots in Oia and did such a great job capturing both us and the beautiful scenery. We literally didn’t have to wait in any of the lines at the popular photo spots (they were extremely long btw 😅) , which made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable! We are SO happy with how the photos turned out and will treasure them forever. If you’re visiting Santorini and thinking about booking a photoshoot, I definitely recommend her! 🤍
If you're visiting Santorini, especially on a cruise where you only have a few hours, I cannot recommend Shaq enough. She made what could have been a stressful experience one of the highlights of our entire trip.
From the moment I booked, Shaq was incredibly proactive. She reached out with detailed instructions on where to meet, what to wear, suggestions about hats and sunglasses, and even warned us about the heat. Everything was well organized before we even arrived.
She met us right on time at Virgin Mary Square and immediately took charge. The biggest advantage of working with her was that she knew exactly how to navigate the crowds. Instead of standing in the extremely long lines that most visitors face just to get a couple of photos at the famous blue domes, she worked with the local hotel access points and guided us through the process efficiently. Yes, there is an additional fee for access to some of the photo locations, but it was worth every penny because of the amount of time we saved.
In just about an hour, including an extra 30 minutes she generously spent with us, we ended up with around 150 beautiful photos. She knew all the best angles, listened to the types of shots we wanted, and also suggested creative poses and locations that turned out amazing.
The biggest benefit wasn't just the photos, it was the time. Instead of spending our limited 2–3 hours in Santorini waiting in line for one or two pictures, we finished our photo session with incredible memories and still had plenty of time left to explore the island.
Shaq is professional, friendly, patient, generous with her time, and genuinely cares about giving you the best experience possible. If any of my friends or family visit Santorini, I will absolutely send them to her without hesitation.
If you're considering a photographer in Santorini, don't think twice. Book Shaq. You'll come home with stunning photos, save hours of waiting, and enjoy your time on the island so much more.
Shaqa is a great photographer. She made the experience fun and easy. She helped us create great poses in all the best locations. Since she is a local photographer we did not have to wait in lines and she has access to the best locations.
We just received our photos from Shaqa and loved them. I absolutely recommend a photo shoot in Santorini if you want to bypass the long line ups for the famous 3 blue dome photos. Local photographers have special access to alleys tourists do not. We appreciated Shaqa’s communication with us prior to and after the shoot. Recommend this to those who want a special memory of Santorini.
Shaqayeq was incredible! She knows her way around Greece and got the most unique photos for us. It definitely felt personalized, not like a wholesale experience. She was funny and incredibly professional. I especially appreciated how she leaned into our personalities while giving directions to get THE best shots. Highly highly recommend!!
Shaka communicated with us before the appointment to let us know what to expect and gave suggestions. We were a few minutes late and Shaka was able to work with us even though the apt was at 12 PM which is really hot in Santorini. In addition when she took the pictures she was patient with my teen girls . She was very generous with her time and at the end, she provided us some information regarding bus stations where to eat how to avoid tourist. We are looking forward to the final products.
Shaqayeq was amazing during the whole photoshoot process. She made it seamless and easy. I had booked with her at 8am in hopes the sun would be great. Little did we know the sun wouldn’t be ideal for the famous blue dome shot. Shaqayeq messaged me and let me know this. She fit us into her schedule that evening to get better photos. She is very passionate and loves what she does. You can tell this by the amazing photos she produces. We highly recommend Shaqayeq for your photoshoot in Santorini!
We had an incredible experience with Shaqayeq during our family photo session in Santorini. She was warm, friendly, and immediately made my two daughters and me feel comfortable in front of the camera. She gave clear direction for posing without making anything feel forced, and the entire session was relaxed and enjoyable.
What really set the experience apart was her knowledge of the island. She knew the best locations, the ideal timing, and how to take advantage of the lighting, and she had access to stunning private viewpoints that made our photos truly special. She captured the iconic Santorini scenery we had dreamed of while also preserving genuine moments between the three of us.
The final photos exceeded our expectations and are memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for beautiful, professional photos in Santorini, I highly recommend Shaqayeq.
If you're planning a couples photoshoot in Oia, do yourself a favor and book Shaqayeq. She captured incredible photos while expertly navigating one of the busiest spots in Santorini, making every minute count and even getting us access to locations that weren't available to everyone else. Her communication before and during the shoot was excellent, and she made the entire experience feel effortless. If you want professional photos without spending hours standing in line for the same shots as everyone else, hiring a photographer is absolutely worth it—and Shaqayeq was outstanding. We couldn't be happier with both the experience and the final photos.
Great experience. Shaqa and her assistant were great with communication and very efficient. “Skip the line “ it is a great description for this photo shoot. She was able to take us to many different backdrops including the infamous blue domes, without waiting in line. Can’t wait to see our photos!
Shaqayeq was our photographer and she did a great job! Everything went smoothly, especially since we had our kids involved in the photos she made it so easy and comfortable.
We had a wonderful experience with Farhang in Santorini!
She was very attentive and responsive before and after the photoshoot, making the whole process easy and stress-free. She arrived right on time and guided us through the crowds in Oia to several beautiful hidden spots we would have never found on our own.
Farhang made us feel comfortable the entire time, which was especially helpful since posing does not come naturally to me. LOL. She gave great direction and made the session fun and relaxed.
The photos turned out beautiful, and I was pleasantly surprised that 30 edited photos were already included in the price. The turnaround time was also very fast.
Professional, personable, and talented — I highly recommend Farhang if you want beautiful Santorini photos and a great experience.
Great experience! Shaqayeq was on time, very friendly, and gave easy, natural posing instructions. It was absolutely worth every penny.. not having to wait in long lines at the popular scenic spots made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
one of the best experiences with a photographer. Ms. Shaqayeq had a lot of ideas for great pictures and is very personable.
Shaqayeq Farhang is an amazing photographer. Our family has not had photos done in several years and she was able to take many amazing photographs in a very short period of time. She knew all of the best places to go for the best backgrounds. We were able to take our family photos and not take much time away from our vacation. I would highly recommend Shaqayeq.
I booked a photo session and had a positive experience. From the beginning, communication was smooth and quick. During the session, she made us feel comfortable and gave direction on poses. The final photos turned out great and I would highly recommend her as a photographer when visiting the island.
Excellent photographer very patient. Took lots of pictures was great with the kids. Rates are very reasonable
We had an excellent experience from start to finish! The photographer is very professional and kind! She knows the best spots for photographs in Santorini and helped us get the best poses down. We are extremely happy with our photos and she had an option to buy more photos than the preset 25 which we happily paid for more photos because we simply could not choose only 25. The whole experience was great because I usually am stressed the entire trip about getting “the perfect photo” of my husband and I, asking strangers to take photos etc. having this experience booked, I was able to relax on our trip more knowing we had photos scheduled with a professional! I highly recommend this experience! We will look back at these photos for years to come!
Very professional , friendly photographer who accommodated our requests and made sure the best pics were captured.
Photographer communicated well and lots of places for photos. Very efficient! Would be happy to do it again :)
Had such a beautiful photo shoot experience with Shaqa. She is truly a professional and talented photographer, who captured such amazing images.You can tell she really knew which background settings worked well with the weather, during the time we had our shoot. Shaqa was very kind and made my girls and I feel so comfortable and assisted us with our poses.
Thank you Shaqa, for a memorable experience that we will treasure forever.
