Capturing love stories & celebrations

An award winning visual artist and photographer inspired by the beauty of light and the depth of emotion. With a documentary approach, I strive to capture genuine, heartfelt moments as they naturally unfold. Every love story is unique, and every celebration holds moments of pure magic. Guided by the interplay of light and the raw depth of emotion, I create timeless images that tell your story with elegance and authenticity. My goal is to preserve not just the visual beauty of your day, but the feelings, the connections, and the memories that make it truly yours.

Whether it’s an intimate ceremony on Sifnos or a grand celebration in the Athens Riviera, my passion lies in documenting your romance with authenticity and elegance. Each frame is a timeless reflection of your special day, filled with emotion and beauty.

As a passionate storyteller, I blend the natural beauty of these destinations with heartfelt emotions, creating images that preserve the unique spirit of your celebration or retreat.
