“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote, to travel, is to live.”

Hans Christian Andersen

“Every single world we’ve visited isn’t just random – it’s the result of countless choices, all of them combining to create a new reality. You and I have been given an infinity of chances, and that’s so much more than mot people will ever get – but in the end we get to live in only one world, and that’s the world we make. I want us to create that world together.” 

“A million Worlds with you”. and You. And we, do not believe it is by chance that we come across you. We, also believe it is by choice and not by chance that we change our circumstances, to create these very uniquely intimate experiences that are translated into images, that speak of the heart, to the heart. We get to meet people that have come from the other edge of the world, to trust their secrets, their concerns, to share their dreams with us. And this is an undeniable privilege we hold precious and is the sole motivation to our inspiration and drive. We dream to explore, to experience, and to go beyond. To capture life through new eyes each time, new colors, new light and to become.

// The elopement photo shoot in Athens //

 

Sandra and Romain. Crossed borders and bridged distances between their worlds and ours. And it was like we had known them forever. From France to Hong Kong, carrying with them dreams to travel the world, their wings of love, and two very special, very tiny teddy bears. Two destinations marked their paths. One of them was Athens. Athina. Our ever controversial city and the name of a goddess. A city with a heritage of a classical era, so evident in the center.

We spent time with them, we talked a lot, we shared love for this part of the world, we created memories, photographs and bonds. We can endlessly scout and photograph in this city, with the challenging light. As we were strolling beyond the streets of the theater of Herod, Sandra stopped and mentioned the amazing color of the sky. It was the bluest blue youve ever seen, and full of hope and smells. Later in the day along with our mood came the shades of orange, to colour us with hope and yet more dreams to keep us going. Then, “the sky grew darker, painted blue on blue, one stroke at a time, into deeper and deeper shades of night.”

We called it a day… not able to resist dinner under the starry sky with the sight of the parthenon right there in front of our eyes and we made plans for the next destination. Mykonos.

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote, to travel, is to live.”

Hans Christian Andersen

 

As photographers we often measure our moments in hundredths of seconds. As a result we are regularly faced with the undeniable truth that missed moments are gone forever. 

It is through moments and their fragments, piece by piece, image after image that we breath life to our stories. Stories with special meaning that speak to the heart.

Emotion equals life equals association equals impact. It is the sense of connection when viewing an image that is so important to us. To take photographs that feel alive, that speak to you, that  make an immediate connection with your feelings and your visual memories. This makes our stories of primary importance through the  demanding challenge of aesthetics in the composition and style.

We stay restless and treat each wedding as our first one. We like to re invent our selves through every image. To discover and  experience with you every small detail that is important to you, and  to guide you through the day as your trusted friends. We like to make fresh photos. Unique. As unique as you are. And for that we let ourselves immerse in this experience with you. Thank you for your trust.

Wedding Photographer Paxoi // Xenia & Pantelis

Wedding Photographer Paxoi

Once upon a time

“Meaning comes from the unknown, from the stranger, from the unpredictable that suddenly knocks at your door — a flower that suddenly blooms and you never expected it; a friend that suddenly happens to be on the street you were not waiting for; a love that blooms suddenly and you were not even aware that this was going to happen, you had not even imagined, not even dreamed. Then life has meaning. Then life has a dance. Then every step is happy because it is not a step filled with duty, it is a step moving into the unknown. The river is going towards the sea.”

Our destination was a choice from the heart. The island of fjord-shaped tropical beaches, spectacular rocks and sea caves, majestic domes, seas of olives meeting friendly harbours,. We admit this wonderful setup always goes well beyond our highest expectations. Paxoi. The charm of this island will hook you, with its greenery running down to the glittering water, ever so blue it makes your heart break.

Poseidon, the God of the Sea, broke this piece of the world off Corfu with his trident when he needed a god-deserving place to live his love with the Nereid Amphitrite.

Any resemblance to persons and situations is purely not coincidental. But.. in this island there was love. Irrevocably and confirmed.

And there is nothing more exciting than taking new steps, το the magic that dwells with each beginning. Xenia and Pantelis, so different, so same, so made to fit into the most adventurous puzzle ever created, life.

Wedding in Paxoi

We have always worked with amazing couples who never cease to amaze us with their sense of adventure and love for each other. We always draw our motivation and inspiration by the people we meet along the way. Constantly looking out for the unique and the beauty within. Our personal development has given us a unique perspective on what it really takes to create truly memorable photographs and a unique experience into the amazing wedding day. Photography for us is the bond between the past the present and the future. To succeed in having captured the intensity of the essence of life, in every hundredth of a second.

Paxoi was a great paradise… But greater were Pantelis and Xenia, their families their friends their hospitality, their feelings and finally the energy that will remain, forever and happily ever after – and here was a story that had to be told. Real photographs of real people.

We had an amazing beach party day at until the early morning :-)

#1 Look Here

 

 

#2 Read Here

 

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 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!!!

Highlight Clip

 

 

 

This past winter started of with our round trip around Europe, visiting favorite couples, our new friends.

Our trip to Amsterdam. Days to remember. Invited by our Cats for the official infamous arChive album presentation ritual. We shared time and most of all emotions. The wedding, now a warm and sweet memory. We were there to revive all the important, the unseen and the forgotten. Their reactions moved us, as they discovered them selves through our images. Right there and then, we decided this was not going to end here. So we let our imagination race to the next connecting point, already starting to observe and capture precious moments of their everyday life. This is because a wedding should not last a day, but a lifetime. Suddenly Amsterdam became our scenery, the perfect backdrop for a new twist of the plot.

 

Cinematic Clip

 

 

 

Wedding Cinematography’s way of cheating

 

As in our wedding photography, so is our wedding cinematography, guided from our passion to interpret moments in a unique way, and reveal connections unseen . We do not direct life, but we discover the story behind the story, there, waiting to be told. And there’s always more,  as long as  your heart remains open,  to feel and to  embrace. For our Cats, it was all about the fun, the joy, the laughters and the romance, that filled their wedding days in Symi. It is all about the Love that fills their life in Amsterdam. In everything they do and share.

 

So… Watch and enjoy our cinematic glimpse, become an everyday fairytale. As is your own. The one you hold precious.

 

With love

Angela & George

Paris day after Album Presentation // Elena & Nikos

Wedding Photographer Paris // We had the time of our Life!

Τι κάνει κάθε γάμο ξεχωριστό; Μοναδικό και ανεπανάληπτο;
Οι άνθρωποι του. Τα χαμόγελα, οι ματιές, οι σφιχτές ειλικρινείς αγκαλιές και τα δάκρυα στα μάτια. Η χαρά και η ενέργεια που όλοι κρατάνε φυλαγμένη για μια τέτοια ξεχωριστή ημέρα.

Η Έλενα και ο Νίκος οργάνωσαν το γάμο τους στο Κιάτο. Δίπλα στη θάλασσα. Κάτω από τα χιονισμένα βουνά. Όπως τους ταίριαζε, με πολλή αγάπη. Και εμείς βέβαια δεν τους αφήσαμε σε ησυχία. Aπλές όσο και συνθέτες οι ερωτήσεις μας… Χείμαρος συναισθημάτων οι απαντήσεις. Γιατί αυτός είναι ο Νίκος και αυτή είναι η Έλενα. Και οι δυο μαζί ένα πυροτέχνημα.

Η εναλλαγή από την ένταση στην ηρεμία, και η ανάγκη τους να εναλλάσσονται. Αυτό το πάθος για ζωή, βρήκαμε κοιτώντας τα βουνά η βυθίζοντας το βλέμμα μας στο απόλυτο γαλάζιο της χειμωνιάτικης θάλασσας.

Το “μαζί” τους βρήκε με ένα τραγούδι και έναν χορό – έτσι όπως ταιριάζει να είναι για πάντα η ζωή τους. Ένας ατέλειωτος χορός.

Βρεθήκαμε κοντά τους, μοιραστήκαμε τη χαρά τους και νιώσαμε σαν να τους ξέραμε για πάντα. Γιατί έτσι δένονται οι άνθρωποι μεταξύ τους. Χορεύοντας στη μουσική που αγαπάνε.

“Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because” 

Το να προσπαθήσεις να παρακολουθήσεις, να αντιληφθείς και να καταγράψεις όλο αυτό τον καταιγισμό συναισθημάτων απαιτεί όλη την ενέργεια που έχεις. Η ανταμοιβή έρχεται όταν προσπαθήσεις κομμάτι, κομμάτι, δευτερόλεπτο την κάθε φορά να

συνθέσεις την πραγματικότητα της ημέρας όπως εσύ την αντιλήφθηκες. Μέσα από τα μάτια και την ψυχή σου. Εμείς αφήνουμε στην άκρη το φωτογράφος γάμου και κρατάμε το φίλοι. Γιατί έτσι νιώσαμε δίπλα στα παιδιά.

Hina & Shamshir // Their Album created by arChive

Hina & Shamshir – Indian Wedding in Koh Samui

Wedding Photography Thailand – Koh Samui

THE ALBUM

“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. Its about learning to dance in the rain”

 

 

// Once upon a time and not so long ago in Koh Samui – in Thai เกาะสมุย the beautiful island off the east coast of Thailand, Hina and Shamshir made their dream come true.
We all know we can write the best chapters in life with love, and this was not plain love, it was destiny.
A beautiful wedding, in this amazing tropical scenery, that was as challenging an experience as a tropical monsoon. A wedding that will be remembered by all, as being very special, leaving us with a quirky smile for a number of peculiarities that we shall not reveal…

// We were overwhelmed by the endless dreamy tropical sandy beaches, the coral reefs lost in tides, in a tantalising composition of turquoise water, among jungles of  coconut trees, the island looked like a well-established Hollywood celebrity: outrageously manicured, with lovely blonde tresses so gracefully groomed. No other enviroment could be more suitable for this wedding.

// Meanwhile, and contrary to our plans, the weather was playing silly games around us, but the spirits were kept high. This was indeed a very special day and nothing special is ever common, even when it comes to storms. When destiny is present nothing can stop it from happening.

 

The Indian Wedding

 

// And there were beautiful people, colors everywhere, singing that turned wishes to love and love to more wishes. There were vows, bonding families and symbolisms that left us feeling blessed. A word Hina never forgets to utter. There was dancing in the rain and there was rain.

// We shall not forget the kind hospitality and spirit of both their families and loved ones. We were privileged to have been, to have seen, to have captured and to have shared. And to have added yet another couple in our family.

// Note to Hina & Shamshir > The name samui is mysterious in itself. We were told by natives that  the word “Samui” derives from the Malay word “saboey”, or “safe heaven”. And this is what we keep.

We are certain it will make you smile!

 

 

“How do I love you?

Let me count the ways.

I love you out of the box, so shiny, pink, and new

I love you with every pique, pirouette, tendu

Second skin of my feet, keeper of my sole

Every step I take, your virtues I extol

The lines you draw, the patterns you trace

At the barre and in the center, you fill a sacred space

Adorned with ribbon like a satin-wrapped prize

Hiding within elegance the pain you disguise

I love you in class, in rehearsal, and on stage

Treasure beyond measure, my spirits you raise

My road to ballet is paved with blood, sweat and tears

You are my companion persistent through the years

Vertical suspension, the summit of my desire

You beneath me, the wings beneath my fire

From toil and struggle, the suffering for your sake

Comes dance so joyous, ever-worthy to create”

 

If we could see your last pair of shoes, worn out of dancing, we could still dance through every memory, and give these pictures something to keep in your heart. The very special story of a Greek boy and a Basque girl. Alex and Maite, whose story we yet cannot reveal.
