I am Magdalene, a visual artist and photographer.
I have been passionate about documentary wedding photography since 2009. Being a visual artist and a proud mother to 3 amazing children has an influence on my storytelling style.
I have a BA in Fine Arts from WCA, University of the Arts London, and a MA in Digital Arts from London Guildhall University. I am also honored to have received the Adobe Award in International Digital Art Festival in Australia, and the BBC distinction, in the UK. Moreover, my work was on the cover of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style magazine.
As a destination wedding photographer in Greece, I understand the importance of creating a memorable experience for my clients. When working with me, couples can expect to feel a sense of ease, comfort, and excitement throughout the entire process.
From the very beginning, I strive to establish a personal connection with my clients. I take the time to get to know them, their unique love story, and their vision for their wedding day. By understanding their individual preferences and desires, I am able to customize their photography experience to reflect their personal style and capture the essence of their relationship.
Born in Athens, with origins from Naxos and Rhodes (actually my father is from Naxos, my grandfather is from Sifnos, my grandmother is from Amorgos, my mother is from Rhodes, my grandfather is from Symi, my grandmother is from Samos – so proud -! ) and having specialized in destination weddings in Greece for several years, I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the local venues, landscapes, and cultural nuances.
“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.
My aim is to capture genuine moments without being intrusive. Authentic moments always show how unique and beautiful you really are. Through my photography, couples are able to relive the emotions, laughter, and love that filled their wedding day. When couples see their wedding images for the first time, they are often overcome with a mix of emotions, from joy and excitement to tears of happiness.
My goal is to create a safe space where the couple can be themselves and truly enjoy the wedding day. My experience ranges from large, high-end weddings to more private, intimate elopements at private villas, on the Greek islands.
As a destination wedding photographer in Greece, my main goal is to provide couples with an unforgettable experience. By establishing a personal connection and capturing breathtaking images, I am committed to making the journey from the initial search to the final delivery of images an extraordinary one.
Can’t wait to create unforgettable memories with you.

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. The 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 weeks after the shooting day at 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.
