Capturing the essence of love on the Greek islands


An award winning visual artist and documentary wedding photographer in Greece inspired by light and emotions. I specialize in documenting weddings and elopements on the Greek islands and beyond. My work is about more than photography; it’s about preserving moments that feel as alive and genuine as the day they happened. With a fine art background and a love for authenticity, I aim to create photographs that speak to your heart.

(01) Why I Love What I Do

Being a wedding photographer in Greece means being surrounded by beauty, not just in the landscapes but in the emotions, connections, and stories I get to witness. From the quiet intimacy of an elopement on a secluded beach to the joyful energy of a celebration with family and friends, each moment holds something unique. My approach is simple: I observe, I feel, and I create.

(02) My Approach to Photography

I believe that every love story deserves to be captured with honesty and care. My style is rooted in documentary photography, focusing on candid moments that tell the story of your day. Whether it’s the laughter shared during preparations, the tearful vows, or the carefree dancing under the stars, I’m there to preserve it all. For those seeking a nostalgic touch, I also offer film photography and Polaroid captures, blending the timeless with the contemporary.

(03) Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together

Your wedding is more than just an event; it’s a reflection of who you are and the love you share. Let’s work together to create images that feel natural, emotive, and uniquely yours. Explore my portfolio to see how I’ve captured love stories across Greece, from Naxos to Rhodes and beyond.

My aim is to capture genuine moments without being intrusive. My approach to photography is characterized by sincerity, a touch of chicness, and a bohemian spirit. I am a bit of a hunter for love. On your wedding day, surrounded by your loved ones, keep one thought: happiness. Embrace the present moment, accept your emotions as they arise, and find joy. Authentic moments always show how unique and beautiful you are! My passion for storytelling means capturing the true essence of your day—the way it looked, the way it felt, and the memories you’ll hold close for a lifetime. I’d love to hear your story. Reach out and let’s start a chat about your special day. Together, we can create photographs that feel as timeless as your love.
