Since you reached this corner of the web, you’ll already know my name and profession. So, 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.
I have studied photography, back in 1998 in A.K.T.O. Athens, Greece and never stopped since then. I also have been working from day 1, in many positions. All regarding photography industry. Expertise in wedding, architectural, aerial and landscape/seascape photography. Shooting seascapes when I have some free time, sets my soul free.
Editing is another field of expertise. I always love to update my knowledge through online seminars, articles, e-books, regarding everything a modern photographer should know. Photoshop and Lightroom is all I use for my editing. It is something I have studied intensively, throughout the years. Album design is also a skill I gained, as I have worked on various projects and studying it, since it’s a different kind of art. Lastly, I found some spare time during Covid, to learn video editing, just to enrich my knowledge around content creation.
Beyond my artistic pursuits,
I am a devoted and affectionate partner to my Aliyah. We are the proud parents of four adorable feline friends, adding an extra dose of warmth and affection to our life. We find immense joy in spending time with them, they are truly our fur babies. They bring an abundance of love, comfort, and playfulness to our life, and we treasure every moment with them. Additionally, we are avid travelers and nature enthusiasts, finding inspiration in exploring new landscapes and cultures.

FAQ
Narrating love stories of unique people, is what I do. I try to make their own personality to shine on that day. I consider my style photojournalistic, mostly, during a wedding day. That doesn’t mean I leave everything in luck. I interfere discreetly whenever I need to, in order to achieve the best possible result. I most certainly hate wedding clichés and try to avoid such poses, which make people uncomfortable in front of a lense. Being a romantic soul deep down inside, is what makes me the photographer I am.
I was born and raised in Greece, so my native language is Greek, but I also spent almost all of my childhood and early adulthood summers in the U.S.A., therefor I can speak fluently English. It is very important for me to connect with you on a personal level, due our session. Language is key in this.
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 700-1200 photos more or less, depending of course on the particularity of the day that the session took place.
The photos I deliver are of maximum resolution my modern gear can achieve, processed one by one solely by me, to achieve the best possible result and are clear of any watermarks for you to use however you wish, whether this is printing or sending to friends and family. Bear in mind, that the photos are for personal use and there is an agreement signed prior to the session stating this. The distribution of my work to any vendors or professionals of any kind must have my prior consent. Let’s talk, I am open to any of your possible needs.
My expertise is in photography, and I try hard to become better every day, by studying it. Photography evolves, so must photographers. I also consider videography a different kind of art. A different profession. Therefor I don’t have videography services. I would be more than happy though to suggest some of the most talented videographers/cinematographers out there, that I have collaborated in the past several times, with great success. Get in touch, so we can discuss any matter that you may have difficulties in.
Experience has showed me that when I work alone, I have a better control of high quality services I always seek for to deliver. Whether in communicating with you, or even in the end result, which is the most important part. When it comes to sessions, it is often necessary to hire a second shooter, just because of the timeline restrictions. Be assured that I choose my colleagues very carefully. Depending on your special occasion we can discuss about this and come to a final decision together.
Absolutely not. I consider the design of an album a different kind of art. I have studied it through the years and have a very good knowledge on this. All the thoroughness and design of the album, and the selection of the photos that will be contained in it, is done exclusively by me. You only have to preview the final draft, in case you need to make any changes you find necessary, in order to agree and proceed in printing it. We will stay in touch during this process. I love a minimal design, with not many photos in each layout, that will tell your story in a pleasantly aesthetic way, a timeless treasure of memories.
There is no fixed answer to this, but 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 takes up to 1-3 months. The album design follows next, which takes another month or so. So I would say 3-6 months max, for the delivery of the finished work.
The word “filters” triggers every photographer, I believe. There are no filters used in the process, just carefully processed images, color graded according to my vision, with respect to the quality of every image. We can talk hours and hours about how I process my images, but rest assured that I don’t have any kind of fast recipe when it comes to editing. Far more, I would expect from you if you respect my work and not apply any kind of filters that social media platforms have to offer. The images are delivered to you ready to use in any way that you like.
I consider your wedding day, a very special occasion that you invited me to be part of it and I am honored just by this. I feel so happy about the fact that you trusted me as your wedding photographer. That means to me I have a great responsibility towards you, as well. Therefor I always strive to do my best to capture the story of the entire day, with no limitations in this effort.
Lets be honest. Almost every photographer loves to travel and work in different places. This is my work and I am very happy for doing it. The only extra fees I ask, are those of accommodation, travel expenses and car rental. We will discuss about all the details, in order to be as more affordable as possible for you.
I believe that each wedding is different. Each couple has different kind of needs. I want to offer the best possible services by adapting accordingly to those needs. We will discuss in depth every little detail that you have in mind, in order for me to send you a quote, that will meet your expectations. My rates are reasonable, but bare in mind this is the only thing I do for a living and I don’t work under cost. I commit to my work and craft 24/7 and I’m dedicated to have high standards when it comes to photography.
The equipment used for my photography, complies with the standards of the modern era we live in, and is such, so as to achieve the result for which you chose my services. That means I have several tools in my arsenal, to achieve the best possible result, suited to my aesthetics firstly and secondly to yours, if you choose my services for that. I use a drone among other equipment, but bare in mind that depending on the weather conditions and if the time and regulations of the place allow it, a drone is used, at the discretion of the photographer, to enrich the material and for a greater plurality of shots.
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 a meeting, a skype session or whatever platform suits you. 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 love photography in general. I’m passionate about it, and dedicated 24/7. This means I love taking photos of other genres of photography as well. I also do baptism/christening sessions, real estate photo shoots, product photography for social media and website needs, family, couple and maternity sessions. Sometimes there is a case sensitivity, regarding the subjects, but all you have to do is just ask me, and I’ll provide sample of my work, depending your needs. Also make sure to search through my website for some of my other work. Just look the bar at top.
