ABOUT

A wedding at Island Gallery on the Athens Riviera for Maite and Alex. A Greek boy and a Basque girl, based in Bilbao, who met on a flight to Dublin. Ceremony at Agios Dionysios, reception at Island Gallery. Photography and film by arChive Visual Storytellers.

The wedding

Island Gallery sits within the Island Resort complex on the Athens Riviera, built across levels that step down toward the sea, with the chapel of Agios Dionysios embedded in the rock at the edge of the grounds. Ceremony and reception take place within the same estate, with the Saronic Gulf visible from both.

Maite is a dancer. Alex is Greek, and she came to Greece for the wedding, the island that mattered to him, the city his story began in. They live in Bilbao. They met on a plane to Dublin, where Alex noticed Maite reading a Spanish book and understood immediately that the language gave him an advantage. Maite's friend Lucia was waiting for her when she landed. It is thanks to Lucia, she said on their wedding day, that any of this happened.

The ceremony was held at Agios Dionysios. The reception followed at Island Gallery.

Our approach

A Basque dancer and a Greek who cooks for the people he loves, two people from different places who found each other in transit, at the exact moment one of them had a book and the other had a language. That story became the backbone of the day. We ask questions, we get interested, we get intrigued and what comes back shapes everything that follows.

Island Gallery is a venue we know well. The chapel, the terrace levels, the sea view at different hours. We arrived with that knowledge and used it from the start. The film running alongside this story carries the narration from that day, two accounts of the same love story told at the same time.
