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.

Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for

We know that well, as Sifnos Wedding Photographers.

In Sifnos, this very day, when everything was conspiring to make it a very happy one, by arChive Photography under another spell of inspiration.

Groom waiting for Bride at the stairs of Chryssopigi Church, Sifnos Island. Our beautiful bride is on her way to the church by a small fishing boat, a usual practice when the weather permits. We have “stolen” beauty from this small trip for plenty of our imagery. For us, it is always a challenge to get into the heart of the sentiments caused during this final countdown. Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for…

Φωτογράφος γάμου Σίφνος – Sanem & Kostas

Φωτογράφος γάμου Σίφνος // έτσι συνεχίζεται η ιστορία μας

Ο δεύτερος γάμος μας στη Σίφνο φέτος ήταν ένας γάμος που θα θυμόμαστε πάντα.

Ο Κώστας και η Sanem, οι φίλοι και συνάδελφοι τους από τη Γενεύη, οι όμορφες οικογένειες τους από την Ελλάδα και την Τουρκία, ταξίδεψαν στη Σίφνο για να ενώσουν τη ζωή τους και να μοιραστούν χαρά και την αγάπη τους.

Περάσαμε μαζί τους τρεις μέρες ακολουθώντας κάθε δραστηριότητα τους στο νησί. Pre-wedding parties, ήσυχα οικογενειακά γεύματα, ρομαντικά πορτρέτα στο Κάστρο της Σίφνου, παραδοσιακή henna για την πανέμορφη νύφη μας, τελετή γάμου στην Παναγιά Χρυσοπηγή και δεξίωση στην παραλία της Φασολούς.

Θα μας μείνει αξέχαστη η φιλοξενία, η εμπιστοσύνη και πάνω απ’ όλα η φιλία τους. Οι ανθρώπινες σχέσεις είναι για εμάς το πιο ισχυρό κίνητρο και είναι αυτό που δίνει έμπνευση αλλά κυρίως ψυχή στις εικόνες μας. Φεύγοντας από το νησί, πήραμε μαζί μας έναν θησαυρό απο εικόνες γεμάτες ομορφιά και συναισθήματα.

Κώστα και Sanem, σας ευχαριστούμε για τη φιλία και την αγάπη σας. Σας ευχόμαστε κάθε ευτυχία.

Sifnos Wedding Photographer – arChive Visual Storytellers

Sifnos Wedding Photographer

That was the title that dominated our summer: Sifnos wedding photographer. With three weddings in this beautiful island, we had to overcome every obstacle and create inspirational photographs out of literally everything, to present our couples with unique, personalised imagery.

Putting the flow of the day into pictures is just not good enough for us. We have to surprise our couples. Each and every time.

So for Fanis and Ioanna, this was an “after” the after session photoshoot. More relaxed, more fun with surroundings and mood contributing to an amazing result that narrated the end of a very long journey for them, starting in Kythira a year earlier.

Thank you Fanis & Ioanna for sharing so many happy moments with us and may they last forever. We wish you happiness and fulfilment which we are sure you will find in your path.

Sifnos Wedding Photography – FanJo_Reloaded by arChive Visual Storytellers

Sifnos Wedding Photography | FanJo_Reloaded by arChive Visual Storytellers.

This was a perfect start for a series of Sifnos Weddings for this summer. Never the same as any previous one, the island and our couples tempted us once more. To be different, personal and to come up with imagery that highlights their dreams, their very personal moments and the story of their lives.

It was in Sifnos that Fanis and Ioanna chose to reload. No place could be a more perfect match than this beautiful destination, with its whitewashed houses standing like pearls along the crest of the island. Unspoiled footpaths link villages under the warm changing light, so characteristic in the Cyclades, kissing the landscape and exploring the slopes of the mountains, to meet with olive trees, bays with aqua waters, offering that breathtaking experience that will mesmerise you.

Fanis and Ioanna, their beautiful families and their very special friends, took every extra step to make their wedding day extravagantly beautiful. We have laughed and we have cried. We have enjoyed and we have lived. Their dream became ours to share and preserve. Every moment was irresistibly inspiring. Being their photographers on their three-day wedding was nothing like common. We wish for them the best from our hearts and we thank them for their trust and friendship.

Thank you Fanis & Ioanna for sharing so many happy moments with us and may they last forever.

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”

Guys, there’s a “Higher Love” surrounding you. Being your visual storytellers has been a wonderful experience.

Φωτογράφος γάμου Σίφνος – FanJo_Reloaded από τους rChive Visual Storytellers

Φωτογράφος γάμου Σίφνος – Μέρος Ι

Ένα τέλειο ξεκίνημα για μια σειρά γάμων που φωτογραφίσαμε στη Σίφνο για αυτό το καλοκαίρι. Πάντα με διαφορετικό, πρωτότυπο υλικό, αφήνουμε τη διάθεση και τον χαρακτήρα των ζευγαριών μας να μας καθοδηγήσουν και να μας προκαλέσουν για να αποτυπώσουμε την ιστορία τους με μοναδικές εικόνες. Και η πραγματική πρόκληση είναι να είσαι διαφορετικός κάθε φορά, να υιοθετείς το ξεχωριστό στυλ του ζευγαριού, και να δημιουργείς εικόνες που τονίζουν ότι έχουν ονειρευτεί για το γάμο τους, τις προσωπικές τους στιγμές και την ιστορία που έχουν γράψει μαζί.

Ο Φάνης και η Ιωάννα διάλεξαν να “επανεκκινήσουν” το γάμο τους στη Σίφνο. Και κανένα μέρος δεν θα μπορούσε να είναι πιο τέλειο από αυτό τον υπέροχο προορισμό των Κυκλάδων, με τα ολόλευκα σπίτια που διάσπαρτα, στολίζουν το κυκλαδίτικο τοπίο σαν μαργαριτάρια. Προστατευμένα από την κοινή θέα μονοπάτια, ενώνουν τα μικρά χωριά κάτω από το ζεστό καλοκαιρινό φως, αγκαλιάζουν το τοπίο και εξερευνούν τις πλαγιές λόφων και βουνών για να συναντήσουν ελαιόδεντρα, απομονωμένες παραλίες με κρυστάλλινα μπλε νερά, που προσφέρουν αυτή τη μοναδική εμπειρία που θα θυμάσαι για πάντα. Οι Κυκλάδες χαράζονται στην καρδιά και το μυαλό σου.

Ο Φάνης, η Ιωάννα, οι όμορφες οικογένειες τους και οι φίλοι τους, έκαναν παραπάνω από αυτά που χρειαζόντουσαν για να κάνουν την ημέρα του γάμου τους αξέχαστη. Ζήσαμε και απολαύσαμε κάθε στιγμή. Το όνειρο τους έγινε δικό μας, για να το διαφυλάξουμε από το χρόνο και να το μοιραστούμε. Κάθε στιγμή ήταν γεμάτη έμπνευση που σε προκαλούσε να μην αντισταθείς. Το να είμαστε οι φωτογράφοι γάμου στο τριήμερο που περάσαμε μαζί τους, ήταν μια αξέχαστη εμπειρία.

Τους ευχόμαστε κάθε ευτυχία από καρδιάς και τους ευχαριστούμε για την εμπιστοσύνη και τη φιλία τους.
