Hash tag #pepefaiou and who could know ..
When she grows up she wants to be a ballerina spinning.
Impatient…
Who could know but Elon Musk.
In Rotterdam.
Where things went out of hand.
But who could know?
And as there are no ways of knowing for sure,
there are these special ways of knowing
for pretty sure.
Over a game of playstation.
Over a well cooked meal.
In just a split of a second
or a split of it,
between everyday lines
That it is, in the knowing that we grow
and love will expand to contain us.
But who would know?
Over a glass of wine,
over this one,
particularly this one twitch of the lip.
Because theres always someone who knows something.
About fairy tales.
Abstract and unique,
reflective by nature.
Fairy tales, that project on us as we project on them.
Like words that we make up
to giggle,
to share,
to intimacy,
to special meanings,
to odd translations.
To friendship.
But who would know,
but old best friends
and new ones.
To care and share.
To shed a tear for the lost of childhood,
and the untangleable bonds,
that will remain forever and ever.
But who could know that some things are meant to be, as we met again and again, on friends weddings and we were chosen instinctively. As we chose them. It was inevitable for here was a story that had to be told.
#3 History in the making
The Scenery // Spetses
An amazing island. A destination that will stay in your heart and make you smile every time you think of it. An island that will seduce you and make your life easier as your wedding destination.
Blessed by its beauty. Too pretty, too accessible and too popular. An elegant choice for #pepefaiou and a perfect match.
One could tell that It was going to be Spetses.
This is an island where your senses immediately come alive: the air, refreshingly warm, carries the smell of the sea one moment, then freshly baked pastries the next. Locals drink their espressos and frappés as they play backgammon in the shade and eye the latest arrivals climbing out of the red-and-white water taxis.
Around the corner from the port, the winding, cobbled coastal road opens into a wide, expansive piazza that acts as a forecourt for the Poseidonion, a grand, august hotel styled like a château and modelled on the Carlton in Cannes and the Negresco in Nice.
There is something timeless about the square, and indeed the island itself. It is as close to the idyllic Hellenic picture as you can imagine: fishermen lay out their catch by the seafront as the locals stroll along the promenade, past impressive villas, domed churches and traditional tavernas with tables lining the road. Cars being banned from the town, horse-drawn carriages rattle through the backstreets
The Venetians named the island Spezia, meaning spice , but it could just as well have been after the powerful scents of jasmine and pine , bougainvillea and hibiscus. But then we could go on forever, about this and about #pepefaiou and anything about this wedding.
The wedding in Spetses











The amazing venue of Poseidonion Grand Hotel was going to host the preparation of Faye. Hospitality, and belle epoque style luxury, only fitting to our special bride to be. The groom and his friends at a private villa – enjoying the swimming pool until the very last minute. A beautiful coach carried our bride to Agios Nikolaos a church overlooking the old harbour.
The reception was to take place at the well known “Kaiki”. The beautiful decoration of Fevronia and organized by Mae Mavroudi of Greek Weddings made the world of a difference.
This was a wedding to remember. And these are two people we will always keep deep in our hearts.
And who would know?
If a man asks a girl for a date…
That’s his business.
If the girl accepts…
That’s her business.
If the man and the girl decide to marry…
That’s their business.
However, if they want great wedding photographs…
THAT’S OUR BUSINESS!!!

This could have easily been any other post of a wedding in Ktima 48, but no. Ordinary things could not be possible with this one couple.
Extraordinary magic is woven through a phenomenically ordinary life. You only had to look around.
Because in this house they are real
they make mistakes
they say they are sorry
they give second chances
they have fun
they give hugs
they forgive
they do really loud
they are patient
they love
Consequently one can understand why this one wedding will never ever be forgotten. And you can also understand why we are so eager to organize the Day after photo session… We keep secret enterprises and send them sneak peek teasers, our rush of stars and wishes… and so much more!
Here we shall stop revealing, as this is only a sneak peek post. Stay tuned. The whole story coming up soon.

Kallia & Yannis – Ktima 48 Wedding Photography
How do you combine the best of Athens Riviera & Sounio into a unique experience for your guests?
Kallia & Yannis came up with a perfect solution.
The couple’s happiest days started with a beach party the day before the wedding at the Aegeon Hotel and ended with a Tour at the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, late in the evening. Nowhere is the energy of Ancient Greece more evident than at Cape Sounion. The sun was setting on us and the view from the Temple was a breathtaking experience. The idyllic sun down was one of the most iconic sights we have ever seen.
“The first stab of love is like a sunset, a blaze of color — oranges, pearly pinks, vibrant purples…”
Yannis and Kallia, having travelled from London, with friends and families from all over the world, were present this day. Ktima 48, the always impressive location overlooking Sounio Bay. The amazing scenery from the picturesque chapel that never fails to inspire us.
We were privileged to have met them, to have been, to have seen, to have witnessed and to have captured, images from the Heart. We photographed their wedding, as would a friend, one who wished to inspire them, to make them laugh, to make this experience as joyful and as meaningful as the life that lies ahead of them. To secure and to safe keep their memories and laughter for happily ever after.
Here we shall stop revealing, as this is only a sneak peek post. Stay tuned. The whole story coming up soon.

Dimitrios & Abby wedding in Island Private
// Wedding Photography Greece
“What did you call her?” she asks but I don’t think it’s her real question.
“Sunshine,” I say, and she smiles because it’s perfect.
“What is she to you?” she whispers. The real question and I know the answer even if I don’t know how to say it.
a muffled voice rises up before I can respond.
“Family,” he says.
And he’s right.”
My Abby. And he means the world. As laconic as a man should be
And she:
It is the simplest joys in life that make me the happiest.
The warm rays of sunshine beating down on a clear day
The glistening gold it casts upon the clear water
But the greatest joy is having my one true love by my side
To share in all these moments each step of the way
This was a beautiful wedding handled with doses of elegance and love. Family, friends. Loved ones from the United States and beyond, all here this special occasion, to care and to share.
A privilege to have witnessed and to have captured images from the heart. Thank you, Dimitrios and Abby, for sharing this day with us, and for trusting us to safe-keep your precious memories.

Yiannis & Yianna Wedding, The Cats’ Wedding in Symi Island | Wedding Photographer Symi
s.Yiannis & Yianna Wedding, The Cats’ Wedding in Symi Island | Wedding Photographer Symi
Two Cats
One up a tree
One under the tree
The cat up a tree is he
The cat under the tree is she
The tree is witch elm, just incidentally.
He takes no notice of she, she takes no notice of he.
He stares at the woolly clouds passing, she stares at the tree.
There’s been a lot written about cats, by Old Possum, Yeats and Company.
But not Alfred de Musset or Lord Tennyson or Poe or anybody
Wrote about one cat under, and one cat up, a tree.
God knows why this should be left for me
Except I like cats as cats be
Especially one cat up
And one cat under
A witch elm
Tree.
Mid-August. High season for a wedding photographer! Approaching the port of Symi, we had the overwhelming feeling of entering a perfectly painted image of a traditional scenic village. We have to admit we remained agape throughout our stay, unable to resist the superb spectacle of the town stretching its impeccable architecture, where all of the buildings were listed on the slopes of the surrounding hills. The port of Symi looked like it might have been photoshopped, the colours that surrounded us a breathtaking sight. Last but not least. No words could describe the beauty of the sea that surrounds the island where the horizon unfolds until the shores of Turkey.
And yes, there was something definitely going on there. This was the Cats’ Wedding!
What a funkier way to start a wedding than a daily boat cruise around the island. It was an amazing group. There were drinks, good food music and a whole lot of shaking going on. everyone had a ball! Capturing the spirit of the day, we photographed performing acrobatics, onboard, underwater and in the air!
On the day itself, our Cats from Amsterdam, started the day in separate houses, as is traditional. The groom and his men prepared themselves in Pedi, and our bride and her party prepared up in the Horio, the higher village. At a set point in the afternoon, Yianna left the house in a beautiful flowing white gown created by Maria Konidi.
She boarded a specially decorated boat, a caique, a traditional sponge diving boat, to meet Yannis at the church in Pedi led by musicians. The groom was also accompanied by musicians, a slow walk to the church. Of course, there was a lot of “penemata” fοr both… A traditional ritual loyally kept by Yiayia Varvara, the favoured Persona Grata of the event.
A beautiful ceremony took place, where they exchanged their own personal vows before their families and loved ones.
The reception (more a party to remember) was held at Pedi beach hotel overlooking the harbour with its twinkling lights, and the boats coming in and out. Cannot reveal more as we promise to surprise you with images when the time comes<
Sounds perfect to you? It was for them, and also for us, beautiful images, precious moments, inevitable memories made from the Cats’ wedding, in Simi.
And as we are no ordinary wedding photographers. These are no ordinary cats!
So happy to be part of this wedding, to have felt, to have shared to have captured. We thank you for the fun and the trust. We thank you for sharing genuine smiles, but even more we thank you for the sincere friendship. Our wishes will always be with you.
This is a preview of Yiannis & Yianna, The Cats’ Wedding in Symi
Very much more coming soon!
With love
