Couple Photoshoot: LGBTQ+ Friendly

SANTORINI-PERSONALPHOTOGRAPHER runs three sessions on this site, and this couple session is among the newest, which is why it carries no reviews yet while the provider's flagship has a track record behind it.

The provider's other two sessions

The package-ladder photoshoot is this provider's flagship: five tiers from a 15-minute mini to a 90-minute VIP, at 4.8 from 49 reviews. The wedding photoshoot experience is the provider's premium tier, a 4-hour session in wedding attire at $997. It is also a newer listing with no reviews on file yet.

This couple session sits between the two: shorter and cheaper than the wedding shoot, but built around a specific inclusive positioning the package-ladder listing doesn't state one way or the other.

Why reviews from a different listing appear here

No reviews exist yet for this exact couple session, so rather than inventing sentiment that isn't there, this page points to what the same provider's better-established package-ladder listing has delivered: same operator, same town, different route length and price point. Treat those quotes as evidence of the provider's general standard, not as reviews of this specific inclusive session. Once the first couples review this listing, their words will say more about the inclusive part of the experience than any sibling listing can.

Until then, the questions in the last section below are the more useful check.

What "LGBTQ+ friendly" means on this listing specifically

The listing states the session is designed to make couples "feel completely comfortable, celebrated, and at ease in an inclusive atmosphere," and names anniversaries, engagements and simply a holiday together as equally valid reasons to book. It is one of the only listings on this site to state an inclusivity position outright rather than leaving it unaddressed. The format backs that up in small ways: the session opens with a meet-and-greet before the camera comes out, and the direction is described as candid moments alongside classic portraits rather than stiff posing.

Most travel-photography listings are written in neutral, generic language that never mentions who the photographer is comfortable shooting. That's not usually deliberate exclusion, but it leaves a real gap for same-sex couples deciding where to spend a limited vacation budget on a memory they want to feel good about, not cautiously test.

What silence versus a stated policy actually signals

None of the other sessions on this site state an inclusivity position either way. Not because they're unwelcoming, almost certainly, but because the listings simply don't address it. That silence is fine for most travelers but leaves LGBTQ+ couples guessing.

A listing that states its position plainly, as this one does, removes that guesswork before you spend money. The wider setting helps too: Mykonos has long been one of the best-known gay-friendly islands in Greece, and same-sex marriage has been legal in Greece since 2024, so an engagement or anniversary shoot here sits in a country that recognizes the relationship.

How the shoot itself reflects that framing

The listing's own language is specific rather than generic marketing filler: the goal is stated as making couples "feel completely comfortable, celebrated, and at ease," and the session is framed around anniversaries, engagements, or simply a couple's holiday together, treating all three as equally valid reasons to book. In practice that shapes the shoot: a hand-in-hand stroll through the lanes with candid direction, rather than a fixed set of poses written for one kind of couple. If you have a specific moment in mind, such as a ring reveal, say so at the meet-and-greet.

These three quotes are from the package-ladder photoshoot, the same operator's other Mykonos Town session, not this couple listing directly, since this listing has no reviews of its own yet. They're the closest honest evidence of how this provider's photographers work with clients.

"An incredible photographer with a unique eye"

Alessandra, June 2026, wrote: "I highly recommend it! Thank you! And congratulations on having such a great team.

Joanna, besides being an incredible photographer with a unique eye, is also a wonderful person." anshika, also June 2026, wrote: "The photographer was really good and she knows the best locations to get the beauty in the pictures. I highly recommend to book this photoshoot." Both point at what a one-hour couple session depends on: a photographer who puts people at ease and already knows where to stand in a crowded town, so none of the hour goes on scouting.

A honeymoon session that turned into a town walk too

Jaimey, September 2025, described a couple's session: "My husband and I had a very chill time with Joanna! She was so easygoing and relaxed and made the photo shoot experience so enjoyable. We came out with a nice time and some beautiful photos to remember our honeymoon by!

We got a good little walk of Mykonos town in as well!" It's a useful data point specifically because it describes a couple's honeymoon shoot with this provider, even though it was booked on their other listing.

Book it if

You want an explicitly inclusive session and are comfortable being an early booking on a new listing.

• You want a photographer who states an inclusive position outright, rather than one who simply doesn't mention it
• An hour and 50 photos plus 2 videos fits your plans. This is a compact session, not a half-day shoot
• You're comfortable with a new listing and are willing to weigh the provider's other reviews as your evidence
• You want an hour for $204 rather than committing to the $997 wedding-attire session

Book something else if

You want a longer review history behind the exact listing you're booking. The provider's own package-ladder session has 49 reviews and five duration tiers, though it doesn't state an inclusivity position either way. For a reviewed hour with video, the one-hour photo session with reels runs $173.15 per group of 1 to 10, with 50 edited photos and 3 short videos, rated 4.9 from 76. The photo walking tour runs 64 reviews at a straight 5.0 and has been used by reviewers for both proposals and anniversaries.

Travelers who want a longer, more elaborate session should look at the same provider's wedding photoshoot, four hours across blue domes, the Windmills and golden-hour Little Venice. The full field is on the comparison table.

It's tempting for a comparison site to gloss over a zero-review listing, either by skipping it entirely or by dressing it up with vague superlatives. Neither is honest, so here is what a new listing actually means in practice, and what it doesn't.

What zero reviews doesn't mean

A new listing is not automatically a red flag. A brand-new activity sits on the same booking system, with the same 24-hour free cancellation, as one with hundreds of reviews. The absence of reviews reflects how recently the listing went live, not a quality signal on its own.

This operator's wedding photoshoot is also new and carries no reviews yet, despite being run by the same provider behind a flagship rated 4.8 from 49 reviews. Every booking also starts somewhere, and early couples are the ones whose reviews will guide the next.

What to actually check before booking

Since star ratings can't help here, the more useful checks are structural: does the cancellation policy match the provider's other listings (24 hours, full refund: it does), is the operator the same one running an established, well-reviewed session (it is, via the package-ladder shoot), and does the description match what similar sessions from the same operator promise (route through the Windmills and Little Venice, professional editing, online gallery: consistent with the provider's other listings). One gap to close yourself: no delivery day is stated, so ask when the gallery will arrive.

The honest bottom line

This is a reasonable booking for a couple who values the stated inclusivity and the compact hour-long format, provided you go in knowing you're an early customer on this specific listing rather than relying on a deep review history that doesn't exist yet. If that trade-off doesn't sit right, the provider's own package-ladder session offers the same operator with a proven track record, just without the explicit inclusivity statement in the title. Either way, free cancellation up to 24 hours before keeps the risk of booking early low.
