Joanne and Lee wanted their big-day somewhere magical. They couldn’t have made a better choice for their Mykonos wedding photography than the stunning Saint John Hotel Villas & Spa near the island’s capital of Chora. Mykonos holds a special place in my heart as I have family on the island and know it well. I was delighted when the British couple asked me to be their
The Paros wedding of Florentia and Dimitris was extremely modern in that it spanned several countries. The Greek couple lives in the UAE but wanted their wedding in Paros which is one of the most beautiful Cyclades Islands. Their plan was absolute music to my ears because, although I live in the UK, Greece is my homeland and where I work during the summer season. Planning
A couple’s gallery is always romantic, especially when it takes place somewhere as beautiful as Santorini. This Greek island is one of my favourite places to take pictures, so when Elizabeth and Marcos, asked me to work for them, I was delighted to accept. As I work often in Santorini, Mykonos and the other Greek islands I'm very familiar with their beauty spots. The session started with a detailed consultation to give me an understanding of the type of images they wanted, whether they were going to share copies with their family or use for wedding invitations, and how they planned to display them.
That beautiful island of is close to my heart so I was excited to do this work showcasing wedding style and bridal fashion. When we snap weddings in the Greek Islands, or anywhere else, the focus is always the newlyweds. The clothing, accessories and setting are all chosen to make the bride and groom stand out - they are, understandably, the stars of the show. With styled images, however, the focus is less on the people and more on the clothing and the location. We create aspirational pictures that fuel the imagination of a bride and groom, showing them how their wedding could look.
On the Cycladic islands of Paros in the heart of the Aegean, the love of two people, for the sea, for life, was consummated with a truly original wedding. I was there to portray their precious moments and tell their inimitable story.
It was not a surprise that a day before we seemed to have ‘lost’ the groom who had gone for a ‘catch up’ with the Aegean Sea before the big day. D. and C.’s love affair with the Greek Islands had begun several years earlier when they went for a holiday and got hooked with kitesurfing.
With the help of a beautiful sun, Manousos and Hara had managed to tell their own story both together as one and each on their own - and its speaks for itself! Capturing the true aura of the couple, as well as the magnificent island scenery surrounding them, it’s hard not to fall in love with this island. It’s authentic Greek blue and white architecture and distinct Cycladic island layout, crystal clear water, peerless beaches, narrow graphic alleys, picturesque windmills, and unique fun venues not found anywhere else, all synthesise an imperceptible atmosphere that is hard to resist. Especially for young couples like Hara and Manousos, who have the bursting energy of youth and flaming romance within their spirits.
Even though they live abroad but married in their homeland Macedonia Greece, Maria and Akis wanted a session in Santorini island. Since I often work in Cyclades, I know the islands exceptionally well and was able to help them choose locations based on the sort of shots they wanted. Cyclades is a beautiful complex of 33 islands in Aegean Sea. Many popular islands are a part of it such as Santorini, los, Paros and Mykonos.
Lying in the Mediterranean in the heart of Aegean Sea, Mykonos is one of the smallest and sunniest of the Greek islands, enjoying more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
Traditional whitewashed houses of Chora welcome visitors with their colourful doors, and it is a pleasure to get lost walking along ancient streets which twist and turn, offering a fantastic view or an unforgettable cafe around nearly every corner. The white buildings are the perfect foil for the azure sky, and a wonderful backdrop for tumbling bougainvillea flowers in vivid pinks and purples.
When L. and her family took a once-in-a-lifetime long holiday, they were keen to ensure they had a special way to remember the occasion. She had seen some of my work and contacted me in advance to arrange their session in Santorini.
