Eliza & Andreas – A Sifnos Wedding to remember

If you are planning a Sifnos wedding, guess why the city of Amsterdam can be your perfect meeting point…
Its more like Amsterdam rings a bell for everyone (and us), like there will always be something going on.

Visiting Amsterdam for an organized presentation for the Cats’s Symi Wedding back in January, gave us the opportunity to meet Eliza and Andreas. You know what its like, when one thing leads to the other and here we are one year later… In Sifnos.
The island that most prefers our destination wedding photography, as there has never been a year without at least three visits for respective events. A beautiful destination indeed and a favorite for our couples!

A surprise pre wedding beach party was thrown on Friday at the Lost Bay, where everything became possible. Friends and families from all over the world, toasting to drinks and dancing wishes to the couple, to love and happiness for ever and ever! It was impossible to call it a day… well, until Saturday…
Saturday – and what a beautiful day for vows of love…

We were there to photograph the magic of this sifnos wedding, forever. Precious pictures as keepsakes of capturing and reliving memories, to immortalize every blink of the eye, and forever freeze it in time.
These extraordinary moments that make memories so precious and unique. But we have told you much. Allow us to keep a secret or two. After all this is only a sneak peek of a story that will unfold in the narrow pathways of Kastro, in the sandy beach of Platis Yialos and in the dominating Cycladic white of Chrissopigi. Full story comming soon… Stay tuned!!

Sifnos wedding photos – Vassiliki & Terry

Wedding photos from Sifnos. And so the Story Begins

To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colours and shapes,
To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness
Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.
To be the eyes of an eagle, the slope of a mountain;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.
To be a smile on the face of a woman
And shine in her memory
As a moment saved without planning.”

― Dejan Stojanovic

This is your captain speaking. Good afternoon Ladies and gentlemen, welcome onboard Flight V&T with service from Cyprus to Sifnos. We are currently in line for take-off and are expected to be in the air for approximately… a lifetime. We ask that you please fasten your seatbelts at this time and join us in this journey called life. We also ask that your seats and table trays are in the upright position for it is party time. Please keep all personal electronic devices on, including cell phones and cameras and enjoy the ride. Partying is of course not prohibited for the duration of the flight. Thank you for honouring us with your presence. Enjoy our flight.

And so the story begins… for Vassiliki & Terry… Who tasted flight (may we be permitted to rephrase Leonardo da Vinci) and will forever walk the earth with their eyes turned skyward, for there they have been and there they will always long to return.

They took their vows at the beautiful church of Chryssopigi in Sifnos with their beloved family and friends. The party yet another flight lasted all night at Cafe Folie!

We were honoured with their trust (it took us only one phone call) to share and capture this beautiful wedding. Knowing them has been a privilege. Our wishes along the wedding photos we captured will always be with them.

Φωτογραφία Γάμου Σίφνος – Pierre Louis & Maria

Γάμος στην Σίφνο. Έτσι συνεχίζεται το καλοκαίρι στις κυκλάδες!

Φωτογραφια Γαμου, Σιφνος – Μερος ΙΙΙ

Ναι, μια ακόμα φορά στη Σίφνο για τον τρίτο γάμο του καλοκαιριού στο νησί. Ένας υπέροχος γάμος που θα μείνει χαραγμένος στη μνήμη μας.

Η Μαρία και ο Pierre Louis πρωταγωνιστές στο “Higher Love”!

Καταπληκτικοί άνθρωποι, φίλοι και οικογένειες από τον Καναδά, την Ελλάδα και την Αγγλία. Υπήρχε κάτι μαγικό στον αέρα και αυτό το skateboard, που κάθε φορά που το αναφέραμε, χάραζε ένα χαμόγελο στο πρόσωπο του Pierre Louis. Και βέβαια η Μαρία, που κάθε όμορφο και μοναδικά αυθεντικό χαμόγελο της, μας γέμιζε συναισθήματα. Η πιο μεγάλη πρόκληση για τη φωτογραφία γάμου, είναι ότι κάθε τι όμορφο είναι αληθινό και κάθε τι αληθινό είναι όμορφο. Είναι τιμή μας, ως φωτογράφοι γάμου να μοιραζόμαστε με δύο ανθρώπους, την ένωση της ζωής και του πεπρωμένου τους με τόση αγάπη, και ειδικά για την Μαρία και τον Pierre Louis που μας επέλεξαν να αφηγηθούμε την ιστορία του γάμου τους μέσα από τις εικόνες μας.

Δεν υπάρχει καλύτερος τρόπος να τελειώσει αυτό το ταξίδι από το σχόλιο των ίδιων:

“Οι λέξεις δεν μπορούν να περιγράψουν πόσο ευγνώμονες είμαστε εγώ και ι άντρας μου που συναντήσαμε την Άντζελα και το Γιώργο. Μας τους σύστησε η καταπληκτική planner μας και επιβιβαστήκαμε σε ένα μοναδικό ταξίδι με την ομάδα της arChive, αρχίζοντας με την ζεστή υποδοχή της πρώτης μας συνάντησης μέχρι τα χαμόγελα και δάκρυα ευτυχίας όταν είδαμε το τελικό αποτέλεσμα κατά τη διάρκεια μιας διασκεδαστικής παρουσίασης στο εκπληκτικό studio τους στην Αθήνα. Η ποιότητα των εικόνων τους, αν μπορείς να τις αποκαλέσεις έτσι, για εμάς είναι πιο πολύ στιγμιότυπα από τον παράδεισο είναι απλά μη συγκρίσιμα με ότι έχουμε δει μέχρι σήμερα. Διαλέξτε να συνεργαστείτε μαζί με την arChive, αν θέλετε τις πιο καταπληκτικές μοναδικές, πρωτοπόρες, χαρούμενες, έντιμες και απόλυτα όμορφες φωτογραφίες. Διαλέξτε να συνεργαστείτε με την arChive αν θέλετε οι φωτογράφοι γάμου σας να προνοήσουν για κάθε σας ανάγκη και να μοιραστούν μαζί σας μια μοναδική για εσάς εμπειρία που θα θυμάστε για πάντα (εμείς θα τη θυμόμαστε σίγουρα!). Ευχαριστούμε, ευχαριστούμε και ευχαριστούμε ξανά, Άντζελα και Γιώργο για όλα!
Μαρία & PL, Σίφνος”

Παιδιά υπάρχει μια “Higher Love” που σας περιβάλει. Οι ημέρες του γάμου σας στη Σίφνο ήταν μια υπέροχη εμπειρία και για εμάς.

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!
