Wedding Photography in
Island Art & Taste | Gallery
We live in a fairy tale with alternate endings. No safety net is there to prevent us from slipping, no caution signs to guide our steps. Conflicting images appear to us harmonious and opposites are blended to form bland. Love and passion interfere with success and other such necessities, but, as if by miracle and through thousands of contradictions, finds its way no matter what. Yearning for the meaningful, it is transformed to harmony.
Life is moving pictures and each time we blink our eyes the world shifts beneath our feet, And we shift along in an endless dance. To a music that elevates the spirit, to a place of transcending beauty. This determines the nature of our photographs.
Moments, memories and dreams…
We go back a little over one year, when we met this amazing family. It was for Eleni and Tom’s wedding. This time its was for her beautiful younger sister Vas, getting married to Seb at Island Gallery. It was an honour and a priviledge to be trusted and chosen as their wedding photographers, their storytellers.
So different from Eleni yet so similar in the essence, Vas is a beautiful combination of shy and sensitive, yet sharp, intense and very passionate.
Seb, is a gentleman. Any other description would intimidate this title. But he is much more. Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage :-) And what a challenge it must be to be a member of this very special family. To dance zeibekiko with the pros!
What does it take to dance zeibekiko ? This amazingly difficult dance, mainly because it has no steps and no particular rhythm. What it calls for is inner intensity, as it is an improvised dance that expresses feelings.
Originally strictly a man’s dance. Not embarrassed to manifest pain or weaknesses, the real man ignores social conventions and shallow condescension. He will pick the lyric that expresses his personal state of mind and he will dance it out, Humbly and with dignity. He will dance only this once, he will not monopolize the floor, or be interrupted.
After Tom who will now boast as “palios”, Seb proved his worth :-)
Only pending issue …coming shortly… is his ability to join our Zacapa tradition.
Thank you for trusting us with your memories.
We are moment hunters. Hunting for words that reveal who you are and the way you connect to each other. We turn these words to images that tell your story.
Someone needs to tell these stories. Like when the pirates find their treasures, and the princesses their prince. We need to tell these bits of overlapping narrative.
There’s magic in that. It is in us.

And for each one of us it will be different, and it will touch you, us, in ways we can never predict. From the mundane to the profound. Don’t forget, there are many kinds of magic. And you can take this story and shape it. Then it will take residence in your heart. And in ours. You are the life of it.
This is our role.
And this is our gift.

“Love is a place
& through this place of
love move
all places.Yes is a world
& in this world of yes, live
(skillfully curled)
all worlds”― E.E. Cummings
The Wedding of the year in Mykonos
Once on the far side of yesterday… In a place neither near, not far, and a time neither now nor then, welcome to our world of storytelling, where “magic” exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.
But this story is not about celebrities or public figures. It is mostly about this one particular element that makes you watch the stars and see yourself running with them. But youre not really running, you are only flying. And we have seen this happen over and over, right there in through our eyes, and into our hearts. And it is all that really matters.
Nothing could stop this wedding from happening and nothing could change the amazing energy that surrounded us. Even the foul weather of the previous days gave way to this amazing event.
But yesterday something so great happened that we simply have to share it with you What happened… was…
It’s official – Feel the flow now… you are married to a star.

Elmina & Giorgo's
Wedding in Nafplio
Beautiful Nafplio,sophisticated and fine, unwinding through twisting labyrinthine alleys. A gentle pine-scented breeze was blowing and the view from the seafront with its island castle Bourtzi decorating the mountains behind it, looked like the nicest place we could spend dreaming. And we love dreams, as we love stories.
While going through our usual and very addictive scouting procedure. we spend hours getting lost around this place. In an amazing walk around, the seafront swings us through a rocky arch into a stunning view of the 18th century fortress of Palamidi, 999 rock carved steps above us, to watch the sun go down behind the mountains, colouring the sea crimson red. Click. We locked this location. It will forever inspire our dreams, our stories. And theirs.
– When did you first fall in love?
“I think, I first fell in love when I was in fifth grade with this boy who kept his glass ruler in the sunlight and made rainbows on my desk with it.”
Elmina & Giorgos. A beautiful childhood love story. How many times did you forget your first love? We are sure the answer is a unanimous-never. That is what childhood love is all about. It is that first wave of love and affection that stays with you for a lifetime. Its that first stab of love that resembles a sunset, a blaze of color that turns the world upside down.
And then there is Amsterdam. We first met them in Amsterdam. Knowing very little about them, And there was this something we are so keen on discovering, each time. Small , tiny bits, about the people we meet. Small things that grow. In our hearts and become a part of us. And there was respect, as there was trust. And there was passion to connect and to share. The inevitably necessary “evil” that we initially represented, was gradually transformed to an ultimate point of reference …from this day on. And we were privileged and honoured to be their wedding photographers.
The empty canvas was now becoming our playground once again.
Life is moving pictures and each time we blink our eyes the world shifts beneath our feet, And we shift along in an endless dance .to a music that elevates the spirit, to a place of transcending beauty. This determines the nature of our photographs.

Our images are about connection, empathy and meanings that bring people together.
We always have a special place in our wedding photography for the day after portrait sessions we share with you. This special one, portrait session in Nafplio, is one of our favorites.
