About Laskaris //

Born on the northeastern Aegean island of Samothraki, Laskaris Valavanis moved to Athens as soon as he finished his schooling, to pursue his dream of becoming a couturier. After graduating from the prestigious Veloudakis College, eager to learn all the secrets of his craft, he started working as an apprentice with three of Greece’s top couturiers, Vouros, Gerardos and Mailis. He gradually developed his skills as a designer while at the same time perfecting his exceptional eye and gift for intricate embroidery, which remains an essential part of his designs to this day. After completing his apprenticeship, he moved to Paris, where for the next six months he fine-honed his skills and broadened his horizons in the Mecca of fashion. He drew inspiration from its legendary creators, not just in couture but also in all the visual arts that are part of the unique vibrancy in the fashion industry. At the end of the 1980s, he collaborated with Gallerie Jade, where he presented his first personal collection and came into contact with the top echelons of the Elite Athenian society. Investing in his skills and reputation, he decided to open his atelier in the prestigious Athenian neighbourhood of Kolonaki.

Today, Laskaris shines bright in the Parisian catwalks and other international fashion designers runways.

Victoria Kyriakides // Editorial Photo Shoot

by arChive Visual Storytellers

Victoria Kyriakides Fashion photography //

Picture to yourself the most beautiful girl imaginable! She is so beautiful that there would be no point, given my meagre talent for storytelling, in even trying to put her beauty into words. That would far exceed my capabilities, so I’ll refrain from mentioning whether she was a blonde or a brunette or a redhead, or whether her hair was long or short or curly or smooth as silk. I shall also refrain from the usual comparisons where her complexion was concerned, for instance, milk, velvet, satin, peaches and cream, honey or ivory, Instead, I shall leave it entirely up to your imagination to fill in this blank with your own ideal of feminine beauty.

Blending old-world charm with a uniquely provocative eroticism and elegance, our concept is a riot contradiction between childhood and feminine adolescence, in a need to remind us why we need to take ourselves less seriously.

Refined. Chic Minimal.

Every moment of this editorial tells a story. We invite you to enter into the intimate moments a bride experiences on her wedding day.
Inspired by the simplicity and elegance of the minimalist style.

Minimalism invites us to pare down a design concept to its truest essentials and to carefully consider er each element of the design with thoughtful intention, making sure each detail is carefully put in place to narrate a story

Simplicity draws attention to inherent beauty without distraction. A simple silhouette gown draws focus to the bride’s natural features; The imagery features a simple colour palette: white and ivory tones The child invites the guest to connect with her inner self and share this very intimate moment of growing into an adult 

A minimalist approach uncovers the essential beauty behind every image. Every detail is thoughtfully curated to invite the viewer into these intimate moments. Every element is designed with intention, creating a space of organic tranquillity – a space every bride ought to experience on her treasured wedding day.

The Scenery

This has been the perfect scenery for the perfect wedding. Sifnos, the choice of Ari and Alê, the island that combines the exclusivity for the selected few, and a traditional Greek twist to an exceptional day. The romantic and raw ambience of the island and its warm aura create the ideal backdrop for a beautiful wedding.

Pre wedding stories

Alê & Ari, had an unforgettable prewedding party the night before the wedding at the Folie in Kamares, the absolute must all-day bar. The capricious weather of the day decided to give us the most amazing sunset colours. Later in the evening, as the party was building up, spectacular thunders crisscrossed the horizon, contributing to the celebration of the day to come. And there was drinking and dancing. And there was happiness and joy. Brazil and Greece, different, yet so similar in their impulsive expression of joy. 

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.”

― Rabindranath Tagore 

We love parties, and we love images that speak of who you are.

Images of truth and purpose.
Of connection and trust.

Of you.

The wedding day in Sifnos

Their preps took place at the Light House Residences, with friends and families. We have a soft spot for preparations. highly emotional, elaborately mixed, with tears of joy, loved ones always willing to the build up of impatience as the clock ticks closer to the countdown.

Ari, the most beautiful eyes we have ever seen. Blue, but more. Where almost nothing need be said. 

Alê, has a most amazing smile, so genuinely warm, with just the right portion of shyness. As Ari likes to say “everything about her is beautiful”.

 Their choice for the religious wedding ceremony was bold and unique, as most couples choose Chrissopigi for their wedding. Their selection is a tiny country church, the monastery of Timios Stavros, overlooking the sea. A breathtaking view and a magical sunset. This is precisely where love knows, it is called love. For this day and ever after.

The party, held in Fassolou, went on until the early morning hours. In the Greek – Brazilian way, such a fascinating combination on the dance floor. We were there to share this day with them, to photograph and safe keep their memories. Images that speak to their heart.

For Alê & Ari, and for every moment we shared during their happy days in Sifnos, the island that became the ideal backdrop for a beautiful wedding.

We thank them for trusting us, both as professionals but also as friends. For the most graceful, heartfelt and honest smiles.

For us, as destination wedding photographers, having captured stories we connect to, is our premium reward. We take pride when our photographs speak about your path in time.

To quote LooksLikeFilm // Being a creative takes equal parts vulnerability and guts. We know this. Often it’s about letting go, trusting the process, while at the same time never giving an inch when it comes to realizing your vision. We started this journey because we’ve got something to say and somewhere to go. 

Images from the heart
