Everything happens for a reason! I have been meaning to publish this christening for a while now. Somehow I feel now is the right time!
The story of how I came to find myself in Volissos in Chios last summer (a place I hold very dear to my heart) witnessing and capturing this Christening is just a bizarre chain of events. I will keep it short. My cousin was having a hair appointment (very near the Acropolis in Athens where my office is located) when she overheard the lady next to her asking her hairdresser if she knew any photographers in Chios! Well, the rest is history …
So that is how ..read more

What better way of exploring the chemistry between you and your photographer before your wedding day than arranging a pre wedding photoshoot. K & M’s pre wedding in Chios was the perfect start to the season.
It was exactly for this reason that K & M wanted to arrange a pre wedding in Chios. That and that just before Easter in Chios, the wild tulips blossom. These wild tulips of Chios known as “lalades” (Λαλ΄άδες”) provide a natural, red carpet as a background.
It was this amazing splash of colour that inspired Joanna Loukaki to come up with the awseome “lalades” picnic. The touches of ..read more

A Bollywood Paros Adventure
A Paros wedding is always a unique experience which is why when Joanna from Joanna Loukaki weddings first asked if I was free end of May for an Indian destination wedding in Paros – I was thrilled. Firstly because I had recently photographed an amazing Indian wedding in Tzia at Aigis Suites, with great colours and sounds and secondly because Paros (as well as Mykonos) is very dear to me as a destination – beautiful colours, great ambiance and the island has amazing vibes. The colours and mood of Indian weddings complement perfectly the colours and bright sunny feel ..read more

Where to begin with Hala and Michaels Athenian Riviera wedding story…
Well the email from the12events, said that Hala and Michael liked the natural, non posed images – the expressions, the emotions in my images – and that this is what they were after. Perfect for me – how my couples and I just seem to come together! Love it!
And of course, when I went to meet Hala, at their hotel for the pre-wedding meeting I knew it was her the minute she walked out the elevator! “Thats my bride” I thought, and of course it was. Over a cup of coffee, Hala, (and her amazing mom) talked about her and Michael, h ..read more

The first night the guests were welcomed at one of the oldest beach clubs in Palma – Puro Beach. Smiles, hugs, laughter, old friends meeting up after a long time, champagne, chilled wine, cocktails and snacks ..read more
