The celebrations lasted five days days. They began with a tour of the island and closed that night with a beach party at Amada Colossus. The following evening, everyone met for a welcome party on the roof garden of Rodos Park Suites, overlooking the Castle. A live band played, and the kitchen ran through the night.

The ceremony was held at Filerimos, in a pine forest on a hilltop above Ialyssos, one of the island’s oldest towns. The Byzantine structures stand among Hellenistic and Medieval remains, and the approach through the trees was one of the most memorable arrivals we have photographed. The reception took place at Rodos Park Suites and Spa, in the garden below the hotel’s neoclassical façade.

The day after the wedding was set aside for portraits. We worked in the Medieval City of Rhodes for the formal images, then spent the last hour of the afternoon at Kalithea, a beach Katerina has known since childhood.

Katerina and JB came to the studio eight months before the wedding, and the work was agreed at the first meeting. A four-day celebration across multiple venues, with guests arriving at different times and a family closely connected to the island, required preparation beyond the day itself. We spent time before the wedding walking Filerimos at the hour of the ceremony, the roof garden at Rodos Park in the evening light, and Kalithea in the late afternoon to confirm the session would hold under the conditions the beach actually offers.

We photographed and filmed the four days as one connected story, not as separate events. Each part—the beach party, the welcome dinner, the ceremony at Filerimos, the reception, and the day-after portraits—required its own approach. We moved between them without interruption.
