Hello, I’m Vasilis Liappis

Greece Wedding & Elopement photographer

Since you reached this corner of the web, allow me to tell a few more words about me. As a passionate and creative wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing beautiful and candid moments of love and joy. With an innate ability to connect with my clients and understand their unique stories, I create timeless and heartfelt images that truly reflect the essence of their special day.

My journey with photography began in 1998 when I first studied the craft, and ever since, I have been immersed in the industry. From working in commercial and fashion studios to film labs and beyond, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the art and science behind every image. My experience with film photography has given me an appreciation for the nuances of color, light, and composition—skills that seamlessly translate into my work today as a Greece Wedding & Elopement photographer. Since 2014, I have focused on weddings, blending my extensive knowledge of color theory, photography, and editing to create visually stunning and emotionally resonant images.

Things I love the most

Beyond my artistic pursuits,

Life is filled with the things that bring me the most joy. I am a devoted and affectionate partner to my Aliya, and together, we share our home with four adorable feline companions who fill our days with warmth, playfulness, and endless affection. They are more than just pets—they are family, and every moment with them is one we cherish.
Traveling has always been a deep passion of ours. Exploring new landscapes, immersing ourselves in different cultures, and experiencing the world through fresh perspectives which constantly fuel my creativity. Whether it’s wandering through charming villages, discovering hidden gems, or capturing the beauty of untouched nature, each journey leaves a lasting imprint.
The sea holds a special place in my heart—it has always been my escape, my source of peace, and my greatest inspiration. My love for underwater photography allows me to explore and document the mesmerizing world beneath the surface, where light and movement create a dreamlike realm unlike any other.
Cycling is another passion that keeps me connected to nature and fuels my adventurous spirit. There’s nothing quite like the freedom of riding through scenic landscapes, feeling the wind, and soaking in the beauty of the world around me.
And then, there’s Karpathos—my second home. This island is where my soul truly feels at peace. Its rugged beauty, crystal-clear waters, and untouched landscapes make it a place of refuge and inspiration. Whether it’s the salty breeze, the golden sunsets, or the island’s untamed charm, Karpathos is where I always find myself returning, drawn to its magic time and time again.

Approach

Since I can remember, I’ve been heavily inspired by films and my goal has been to combine that love for cinema with my love for documentary storytelling.

My style is inspired by the cinematic techniques used in film.

For me it’s not just about photographing a wedding; it’s about creating a cinematic visual narrative that encapsulates the essence of you as a couple, the journey you’ve embarked on, and the real emotions shared on your special day. Being a Greece Wedding & Elopement photographer, I understand the importance of capturing this narrative. I want your story to not only look like a beautiful movie but feel like one too. From beginning to end.

I approach each wedding and elopement story with the eye of a cinematographer; always seeking out natural light, colour and composition to create evocative images that feel both timeless and imbued with the emotional impact of a cinematic frame. Every couple has their own unique story.

My role as a photographer is to document your story with a perfect blend of candid photography (and a bit of direction), resulting in a collection of authentic images that not only reflect the day’s events but also the atmosphere and how it all really felt.

My passion for cinema and storytelling has shaped my approach to wedding photography, making each wedding I photograph not just a job, but a privilege.

why work with me?

inclusivity

When you choose to work with me, you receive my full attention — no double bookings, no distractions. I photograph only one wedding per day — giving you my full attention, energy, and creativity. Your story deserves nothing less.

creativity

As a wedding photographer in Greece, my creative style blends authentic moments with artistic composition. I don’t just take photos — I tell stories. Your wedding is a canvas, and I use natural light, movement, and emotion to craft timeless images that reflect your unique bond. From the soft intimacy of candid moments to cinematic wide shots of the landscape, I create galleries that feel like poetry in visual form..

experience

With years of experience capturing destination weddings across Greece — from Santorini to Hydra and Mykonos — I understand how to navigate all kinds of lighting, locations, and timelines. I work seamlessly with planners, coordinators, and local vendors to ensure everything runs smoothly. My calm presence and clear communication allow you to be fully present on your big day, while I preserve the memories you’ll revisit for a lifetime.

35mm film

There’s something magical about 35mm film wedding photography. The texture, grain, and depth bring a nostalgic beauty digital simply can’t replicate. I offer the option to include analog film in your wedding coverage for those who appreciate a vintage touch and a slower, more intentional approach. Film enhances the emotional tone of your day — raw, romantic, and real — creating heirloom images that feel straight out of a dream..

Frequently Asked questions

My wedding & Elopement photography packages are designed to suit a variety of needs and preferences, ensuring that every couple finds something perfect for their special day. Experience starts at 900€ for Elopements & 1400€ for Weddings and varies based on factors such as the number of hours of coverage, the inclusion of an engagement session, a second photographer, and post-production services like albums, prints & film usage.
Each package is tailored to capture the essence of your wedding, from intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations. I’m happy to discuss your vision and needs in detail to provide a customized quote. For more specific information or to schedule a free consultation session, you can contact me directly. Together, we can create a package that fits your day and preserves your memories beautifully.

I don’t stand on quantity, rather on quality. I urge and advise my couples to do so, as well. Each and every image I deliver is carefully selected and processed according to my artistic vision. The whole process is done exclusively by me to ensure the high quality standards I seek in my work. But if you insist on the quantity, I would say about 500-900 photos more or less, depending of course on the particularity of the day. In general, I am a fast worker. That doesn’t mean lack of quality at all. I treat every work with care, but at the same time, due to my experience through all these years, I work fast. And I want to please you by providing the finished work as soon as possible. After the end of a session, I always start with backing up my files. Then, depending on the workload of the period, I begin to cull the photos and edit them. Once I finish this process, I will send you all the files. The period of time for this can take up to 1- 4 months. The album design follows next, which takes another month or so.

I am based both in Athens & Karpathos, Greece but I travel often for weddings around Greece, Europe and wherever I am needed.

Yes, I have public liability and full professional indemnity insurance.

Booking is quick and easy! Just contact me via e-mail or via social media to see if I am available at the date of your event. We then can arrange an online meeting. A first contact will help both of us understand if we are a good match. It will help me also understand your needs. Together we can tailor all those small details to best fit your plans. Once we decide that we will eventually work together, I will send an agreement for you to sign and return with a retainer fee. Thereafter, I will reserve your date.

I cannot wait to hear from you
