I am Magdalene, a visual artist and photographer.
I have been dedicated to documentary wedding photography since 2009. As both a visual artist and a mother of three, my perspective is shaped by a balance of creativity and life experience, which informs my approach to storytelling.
My educational background includes a BA in Fine Arts from WCA, University of the Arts London, and an MA in Digital Arts from London Guildhall University. I have had the privilege of receiving the Adobe Award at the International Digital Art Festival in Australia and a BBC distinction in the UK. Additionally, my work has been featured on the cover of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style magazine.
Specializing in destination weddings in Greece, I focus on delivering a seamless and meaningful experience for my clients. My goal is to ensure couples feel comfortable, confident, and fully engaged throughout the entire process.
From the start, I prioritize building a genuine connection with each couple. I invest time in understanding their story, preferences, and vision for their wedding day, allowing me to tailor the photography experience to their needs and authentically capture their relationship.
Born in Athens and with family roots across the Cyclades and Dodecanese islands—including Naxos, Sifnos, Amorgos, Rhodes, Symi, and Samos—I bring a deep knowledge of Greece’s diverse landscapes, venues, and cultural nuances. This connection to the region has shaped my expertise in destination wedding photography, enabling me to create images that are as timeless as the settings themselves.
“The little joys that inspire me & fill my heart”
I love: having hugs and spending time with my kids, Greek island hopping, exploring new cultures; film, art and music festivals; abstract expressionism, experimental music, sci-fi movies; summer, warm sun on my face, reading books on the beach, the weightlessness and the silence underwater, the sound of the wind, the odor of jasmine, minimalism and Cycladic architecture; cats, my collection of kimonos, sushi, peanut butter, poached egg on avocado toast, yoga, meditation; painting and teaching art to kids; life, big smiles and positive thinkers; and I feel grateful for capturing high vibes.
When it comes to documenting events, I take a very discreet approach.
As a documentary wedding photographer in Greece, my focus is on capturing authentic, unscripted moments that tell the unique story of your special day. My approach is unobtrusive, allowing genuine emotions and connections to shine through in every image. From heartfelt laughter to quiet, intimate glances, my goal is to document the raw beauty of your wedding day in a way that feels timeless and true to you.
Specializing in destination weddings and elopements across the Greek islands, I bring years of experience photographing everything from luxurious celebrations to private, intimate ceremonies.

The Photoshoot & Deliverables
(01) DURING THE WEDDING
Regarding destinations, I will arrive a day earlier to the location to scout for good places for the location portraits. At the wedding relax, enjoy and leave the rest to me! I will start by capturing the preparation and all the little details that keep your memories alive. A ceremony will follow, with group and family portraits and a location shoot with the couple. Last but not least, the most fun part, the reception, the cake cutting, the dancing and the speeches. At all times, I strive to remain unobtrusive, flexible, and open to creative opportunities as they appear.
(02) AFTER THE PHOTOSHOOT
I will deliver the edited files 4-6 weeks after the shoot day in a private gallery, protected with a password in order to share with friends and relatives; and download your edited high resolution files or order prints and books. All photos are professionally edited, color and exposure corrected, and polished for delivery. You will receive all edited digital images with a personal use copyright release. My belief is that a photo is not finished until it is printed. I design each album individually.
