Following the blog post for the wedding of Alê & Aris in Sifnos, we thought a slide show of selected photos would best describe what happened during the three days of their happy days in Sifnos. Enjoy (till later)!

The Scenery

This has been the perfect scenery for the perfect wedding. Sifnos, the choice of Ari and Alê, the island that combined the exclusivity of the selected few, for a traditional Greek touch to their special day. The romantic and raw ambience of the island and its hospitable aura create the ideal backdrop for this beautiful wedding.

Pre wedding stories

They had an amazing party the night before at the Folie in Kamares, the absolute every day must. The capricious weather of the day, chose to give us the most amazing sunset. Later in the evening and as the party was building up, spectacular thunders were crisscrossing the horizon, as if to collaborate to the celebration of the day to come. And there was drinking and dancing. Brazil and Greece, different, yet so similar in their impulsive expression of joy.

The wedding day in Sifnos

Their preps took place at the Light House Residences, with friends and families. We have a soft spot for preparations. highly emotional, elaborately mixed, with tears of joy, loved ones always collaborating to the build up of impatience as the clock ticks closer to the countdown.

Ari, the most beautiful eyes we have ever seen. Blue, but more. Where almost nothing need be said. Alê, the most amazing smile, so genuinely sweet, with just the right portion of shyness and warmth. As Ari kept saying, “everything about her is beautiful”.

Their choice for the religious wedding ceremony was bold and unique, as most couples choose Chrissopigi for their wedding. A small country church, the monastery of Timios Stavros, overlooking the sea. A breathtaking view and a magic sunset, their most becoming enviroment. Where love knew, it was called love. For this day and forever.

The party in Fassolou, went on until early morning hours, the Greek – Brazilian way, a fascinating combination on the dance floor. We were there to share this day with them and hand them back their trust. A gift to safe keep and share. Images that speak to their hearts.

For Ari and Alê, and for everything we shared during your happy days in Sifnos, the island that became the ideal backdrop for your beautiful wedding. Thank you for trusting us both as professionals but also as friends. For the most graceful, heartfelt and honest smiles.

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.

Wedding Photographer Ktima 48

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 – Island Private – Wedding Photography Greece

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.

“Sometimes the slightest things change the directions of our lives, the merest breath of a circumstance, a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth. Lives have swiveled and changed direction on the strength of a chance remark.”

In Rhodes, the crossroad of the Mediterranean, between the Aegean Sea and the coast of the Middle East, the meeting point of three continents. And it was meant to be. Katerina and Jean Baptiste

Katerina and Jean Baptiste… you’ve truly found love, then given it a wing to fly, and it has chosen to stay, because it was meant to be!

Thank you for the priviledge to have shared, to have witnessed, to have been your Storytellers!

With Love
