Testimonial

“On the run … suggestions, counter-suggestions, demands, suspense, strain, objections, fits of rage, explosions, exasperation, weariness. All there for this notorious wedding day. The truth is we cannot recall much. We couldn’t even enjoy this day as much as we would like to. What remained in the end, is the wedding gown, the suit and the photographs. The clothes have already been condemned to a life sentence in the closet.

On the other hand, the photos spread and expand as would a virus. Leaving everyone with some kind of quirk in the mouth. Whoever saw the photos realized the mistake made in their own wedding. It is not only a matter of quality that intimidates the work of other artists in the field, but also the creativity and imagination that arises from this opportunity called wedding and all that is eventually imprinted in the material delivered.

The ceremony, the party and the styled day after photoshoot, with photos that are immured in frames and decorate furniture and mantlepieces, is something everyone has access to. Our wedding photographers have immortalized the whole timeline of our preparations. That is those candid and very real moments before the official massacre of the freedom of two people. Many more extras as a separate concept were prepared for us by the arChive team, highlighting our personalities. That we shall not reveal. And we were surprised. George and Angela did not deliver us with material to be seen in the future with farsighted glasses, but images from our short personal period in time. This special period that everyone will look back on, to revive memories passed. In conclusion, they are excellent professionals, and they have excellent personalities.”

Alex & Despoina, Kifissia, Athens

About this wedding in Kifissia

Kifissia – (Cephisia) was a deme of ancient Attica, a famous retreat of philosophers during the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian, when the wealthy Herodes Atticus of Marathon, Greece built the Villa Cephisia. In his Attic Nights, Aulus Gellius describes the unique ambience of intellectual ferment and aristocratic leisure in an idyllic setting which he created there. Now a strong part of this life story Kifissia remains a suburb with a unique character and a mood.

The story of Alex and Despoina. A combination of the all-time classic chic of Kifissia, the birth town of both and the strong personality of two authentic rock stars! Such perfect harmony. And so much natural beauty!

Being fanatic lovers of images that are evocative and get you wondering, this magnificent couple gave us all the inspiration to keep us alert for quite a long time. We followed them everywhere. Wedding proposals, bridal rehearsals, tattoo studios, and so much more. Moments that will always linger and remain vivid to our eyes and hearts.

A small selection of images from a story well told.

Wedding Photography – Tatoi – Vassilis & Elena

Wedding Photography – Vassilis & Elena

So yes. We indeed gave our girl to her most loving blue eyes. The eyes that (come on now, admit it, Vassilis). Made her faint!

Their wedding took place on the most beautiful day of winter. It was a day when the sun that woke us up in the morning simply intimidated the strong storm of the previous day! But then again Elena’s smile took care of that! It was a day full of love and emotions.  Not to mention the Tag of War that took place after the wedding .. men vs women ( as the bride did not step on the groom’s leg as tradition requires). We shall not reveal (not yet) who won the “war”. We sincerely wish for them to be blessed with all this energy, brightness and happiness for the rest of their life together, along with the love and good wishes of their families and friends!

Wedding Photographers – Syros, for Evangelia & Isidoros

Wedding photographers and Syros are just a perfect match!

This time it’s Syros for arChive. The island where Greek tradition and western influence come to a harmonious marriage. And as this is Greece, beautiful beaches will forever delight the sea and sand lovers.
Ermoupoli, “the city of Hermes”, evidence of a glorious past still holds everything a Greek island should have.
The most striking feature of the island is the Venetian influence. Unique for the Cyclades is the medieval quarter of the Roman Catholic community and the fortress-like cathedrals. Ano Syros, a beautiful village hanging at the top of the hills with picturesque narrow streets, traditional whitewashed houses, archways and open spaces with a breathtaking view of the island, it is indeed a place to remember.

We spent hours scouting around the village and fell in love with it.

Orthodox and Catholic communities give breath to the island. Hence the double ceremony that took place in Syros for our lovely couple. Evangela & Isidoros, chose the grooms hometown to take their vows. In an atmosphere of peace, reverence and respect both ceremonies Catholic and Orthodox were carried out with utmost sentimentality. We laughed and we cried sharing the couple’s joys and hopes. And then there was dance, there was singing and there was happiness to last a lifetime.

We dedicate this quote to Evangelia, for reasons she alone will understand.

“Tango is the ultimate communication between two people. It begins with an embrace, an initial sharing of affection, yet stresses individual balance. The mastering of one’s individual balance is what allows two bodies to dance as one, along with a technique that is clean and uncluttered, a form that is pure, a line that is classical and an elegance that is sublime.”
Miguel Angel Pla.

And it always bur always, takes two to tango. the perfect two. Have a good life.

Having completed this journey, we were left richer and happier. Full of inspired images and beautiful feelings that will remain precious to us forever and ever!

Best Destination Photography - Syros -Wedding Photography Greece

Wedding photography Hydra

Our wedding photography, more than a skill, is a passion that combines a number of things. New places, new people and emotions so strong that fill the days we spend with our couples with joy, happiness and immense creativity.

Hydra, one of the most romantic islands in Greece and an excellent choice to organise your destination wedding in Greece. Built in the shape of an amphitheatre on a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf. Traditional stone mansions, narrow cobblestoned streets and secluded squares. Donkeys used for transportation, explain the reason why Hydra preserved its distinctive atmosphere through the passage of time.
As you walk along the waterfront, the heart of the town, you encounter monuments, churches, canons, museums, old stone mansions, statues of famous heroes, the old gunpowder store, shops and cafes, while picturesque winding streets lead you to neighbourhoods located at the upper part of the town, as well as to the old neighbourhoods. Such a romantic mosaic.
Hydra was the destination chosen by Natalia & Apostolos to join their lives. They travelled all the way from Geneva, to host their beautiful families from Russia and Greece. Friends from all over the world followed their happy days, witnessing their vows at the church of Agios Nikolaos. A tiny island almost drowned in the big blue, a five-minute ride by the sea taxi, that holds all the characteristics of the beauty of the Saronic Gulf. As small as it was, it embraced every smile, laugher and happiness. It embraced life. The bride’s arrival by a small boat was like an honour for a Princess. A tiny flower girl in a pink tutu dress was there to throw petals for her to step on. Small boats around the island hosted the rest of the guests. Cheers and laughter echoing everywhere. It was the late hours of the evening that gifted us with a sky that was all we could dream for our images. Castello was our nest destination and the party went on until the morning hours.

Milos Wedding Photography – Giuseppe & Afroditi

Milos Wedding Photography | arChive on a mission!

After our very brief summer vacation, the mission was to pack, board Speedrunner once again and head to Milos to meet Afroditi and Giuseppe. We carried with us an amazing mood by simply remembering the joy we shared when we were chosen to be their storytellers!

It only seemed appropriate for this wedding to take place in Milos considering the origin of Aphrodite of Milos (aka Venus de Milo) and our Afrodite. But koubaros has totally covered us on the specific resemblance

Of course, Pepe stole all impressions, starting from an amazing traditional cantata, singing a Greek song in a performance no one could resist, and like a true Italian gentleman, escorted his lovely girl to the beginning of their new life together.

Their beautiful families from Italy and Greece, friends from all over the world followed their happiness and joy. It was for us an experience and an honour to be chosen as their storytellers. Their images need no commenting, they speak for themselves.

As for the Milos Wedding photographers, what can we say?

Our scouting was an endless experience of over 400 Km through dust and rocks. It just another obsession of ours to discover hidden details around every corner, but we couldn’t possibly omit Sarakiniko for an after day session. It is definitely true that Milos is the most romantic place in Greece as this is an island that can hide amazing surprises and photo opportunities around every corner. It’s the charm of this island with the white sandy beaches and rocky coves. This harmonic combination of green crystal clear waters, the deepest blue sky and white rocks that surround the beaches which is ever so divine! The smell in the air from herbs and saltwater so relaxing to our hearts.

Sifnos Wedding Photography – Pierre Louis & Maria

Sifnos wedding photography – Part III.

And so our Greece wedding photography 2014 story continues.

Yes, It is Sifnos once more for this summer. A beautiful wedding to remember.

Maria and Pierre Louis starring in Higher Love!

Amazing people, friends and families from Canada, Greece and England. It was the spirit, it was that magic skateboard that brought out that broad rascal smile that Pierre Louis shared with us each time we hinted on it. Maria, whose beautiful genuine and honest smile constantly overwhelmed us. The most challenging thing about photographing weddings is that all that is beautiful is true and all that is true is beautiful. It is a profound honour for us as photographers to witness two people joining their lives with such love and we were honoured to be their storytellers.

What a better way to end this journey than the words of Maria and Pierre Louis:

“Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are to have found Angela and Giorgos. Recommended by our amazing wedding planner Vasso Vandali of My Best Wishes Events, we embarked upon a unique journey with the arChive team, starting with the warmth of our first meeting all the way to the smiles and cries of happiness when we saw the final result during a fun-filled presentation at their awesome studio in Athens. The quality of their photos – if you can call them that, to us, they are more like snapshots of heaven – is simply incomparable to anything we have ever seen. Choose arChive photography if you want the most amazing, innovative, unique, fun, honest and absolutely beautiful photos. Choose arChive if you want photographers who are really going to get under your skin and create a completely tailor-made experience that you’re surely going to remember forever (we’re sure we will!). Thank you again Angela and Giorgos for everything!!!

Maria & PL, Sifnos”

Sifnos Wedding Photography – Sanem & Kostas

And so our Sifnos wedding story continues…

Our second Sifnos visit for this summer, was for a wedding to remember! Kostas and Sanem, their friends and colleagues from Geneva and their lovely families from Greece and Turkey travelled all the way to Sifnos to join their lives and share joy and happiness.

We shall never forget their exceptional hospitality, their trust and most of all their friendship. Relationships are the most powerful of all motivations and what gives inspiration and heart to our imagery. We left the island with a treasure of images filled with beauty and sentiments.

Kostas + Sanem, we thank you for the love and friendship. We wish for you joy and happiness forever and ever!

Sifnos Wedding Photography – FanJo_Reloaded by arChive Visual Storytellers

Sifnos Wedding Photography by arChive Visual Storytellers.

Sifnos wedding Part I

This was a perfect start for a series of Sifnos Weddings for this summer. Never the same as any previous one, the island and our couples tempted us once more. To be different, personal and to come up with imagery that highlights their dreams, their very personal moments and the story of their lives.

It was in Sifnos that Fanis and Ioanna chose to reload. No place could be a more perfect match than this beautiful destination, with its whitewashed houses standing like pearls along the crest of the island. Unspoiled footpaths link villages under the warm changing light, so characteristic in the Cyclades, kissing the landscape and exploring the slopes of the mountains, to meet with olive trees, bays with aqua waters, offering that breathtaking experience that will mesmerise you.

Fanis and Ioanna, their beautiful families and their very special friends, took every extra step to make their wedding day extravagantly beautiful. We have laughed and we have cried. We have enjoyed and we have lived. Their dream became ours to share and preserve. Every moment was irresistibly inspiring. Being their photographers on their three-day wedding was nothing like common. We wish for them the best from our hearts and we thank them for their trust and friendship.

Thank you Fanis & Ioanna for sharing so many happy moments with us and may they last forever. We also thank My Best Wishes Events & Vasso Vantali for organizing the event.

George Hatzakos – Angela Varveri

From Norway to Kardamyli with Love – Kardamyli Wedding Photographer

Kardamyli Wedding Photographer | arChive Visual Storytellers

Wedding photography in Greece gives you a very good excuse to travel to all kinds of lovely places. But this time it was close to my homeland and being a wedding photographer there gave me and Angela the opportunity to filter images through the emotions of a lovely Norwegian Couple. Tom and Line.

Kardamyli, a spectacularly beautiful coastal village in Mani, 36 km south of Kalamata and approximately 3 hrs drive from Athens. Caught halfway between the deep blue of the Aegean and the rocky bones of the Taygetos Mountains, with the incredible beauty of stark contrasts. It is, itself, trapped between the medieval world and the modern era. Right there, at the very edge of the foothills of Taygetus, reaching out into the Messinian Bay, beautiful pebble beaches and crystal clear waters, is where we met Tom & Line. A beautiful couple from Norway, who fell in love with Kardamyli, the perfect paradise for a perfect wedding day and a perfectly beautiful family who joined them. We believe its hard to find a more stunning setting to make your marriage vows! Tom & Line had their wedding in Kardamyli and we were privileged to be their witnesses at the Town Hall but also their storytellers. Photoshooting for their wedding brought about sentiments and images that will be held precious through time to safe keep and preserve happiness, joy and special values.

Thank you, Tom and Line, for the trust and your precious friendship.
