Mykonos’ beautiful blend of sophistication and simplicity makes it a wonderfully romantic backdrop for any celebration or photoshoot.
Whatever the occasion, my knowledge of the island means that I know the perfect setting for your Mykonos photography.
My family comes from the Greek Islands and, as a Mykonos photographer and Mykonos videographer, I have worked for couples who choose it for a destination celebrations, as well as couple’s photoshoots around the island’s beachfronts. Mykonos’ beautiful blend of sophistication and simplicity makes it a wonderfully romantic backdrop for ceremonies, but also for proposal, honeymoon, anniversary, or any private celebration. Whatever the occasion, my extensive knowledge of the island and the language means that I can organise the perfect setting for your photos or video.
If you have been to the island before, you may already have an idea about locations for your Mykonos photography. A popular location is the main town of Chora. It can get busy here in the evening, especially around Little Venice and on the main street, Matogianni, where bars and restaurants cater for tourists. Visit before mid-afternoon, however, and you will have many of the winding lanes – far too narrow for a car – to yourself. It’s the perfect time to take photos, especially of favourite sights like the iconic windmills on the waterfront.
There are plenty of venues in Mykonos. These boutique hotels blend the stunning colours of the Cyclades islands with genuine Greek hospitality, and luxurious touches. Couples have the option of a ceremony on the sand, or can use the hotel’s private chapel. Mykonos is a clever choice for couples who want to effortlessly escape to an island paradise as many airlines flies directly there from many large cities. Other airlines, including Aegean Airlines, fly from Athens airport directly. Greece is on Eastern European Time, which is two hours ahead of GMT.
Many of the couples I photograph have an emotional attachment to Mykonos. Some met here on holiday, while others fell in love with its sun-drenched beaches and picturesque towns and villages just from seeing photos. If there is somewhere sentimental to you – perhaps the bar where you met or the town you stayed on your first holiday here as a couple, then let me know so that we can incorporate it into your photoshoot.
The Greek island of Mykonos is a top choice for couples searching for a romantic holiday, or the location of their iconic Mykonos wedding photography. It is also a top choice for having a Mykonos videography, an individual or couple’s portrait, an engagement, and any kind of photography.

Joanne and Lee wanted their big-day somewhere magical. They couldn’t have made a better choice for their Mykonos wedding photography than the stunning Saint John Hotel Villas & Spa near the island’s capital of Chora. Mykonos holds a special place in my heart as I have family on the island and know it well. I was delighted when the British couple asked me to be their See more…
The Paros wedding of Florentia and Dimitris was extremely modern in that it spanned several countries. The Greek couple lives in the UAE but wanted their wedding in Paros which is one of the most beautiful Cyclades Islands. Their plan was absolute music to my ears because, although I live in the UK, Greece is my homeland and where I work during the summer season. Planning See more…
A couple’s gallery is always romantic, especially when it takes place somewhere as beautiful as Santorini. This Greek island is one of my favourite places to take pictures, so when Elizabeth and Marcos, asked me to work for them, I was delighted to accept. As I work often in Santorini, Mykonos and the other Greek islands I’m very familiar with their beauty spots. The session started with a detailed consultation to give me an understanding of the type of images they wanted, whether they were going to share copies with their family or use for wedding invitations, and how they planned to display them.

That beautiful island of is close to my heart so I was excited to do this work showcasing wedding style and bridal fashion. When we snap weddings in the Greek Islands, or anywhere else, the focus is always the newlyweds. The clothing, accessories and setting are all chosen to make the bride and groom stand out – they are, understandably, the stars of the show. With styled images, however, the focus is less on the people and more on the clothing and the location. We create aspirational pictures that fuel the imagination of a bride and groom, showing them how their wedding could look. See more…
On the Cycladic islands of Paros in the heart of the Aegean, the love of two people, for the sea, for life, was consummated with a truly original wedding. I was there to portray their precious moments and tell their inimitable story.
It was not a surprise that a day before we seemed to have ‘lost’ the groom who had gone for a ‘catch up’ with the Aegean Sea before the big day. D. and C.’s love affair with the Greek Islands had begun several years earlier when they went for a holiday and got hooked with kitesurfing.
With the help of a beautiful sun, Manousos and Hara had managed to tell their own story both together as one and each on their own – and its speaks for itself! Capturing the true aura of the couple, as well as the magnificent island scenery surrounding them, it’s hard not to fall in love with this island. It’s authentic Greek blue and white architecture and distinct Cycladic island layout, crystal clear water, peerless beaches, narrow graphic alleys, picturesque windmills, and unique fun venues not found anywhere else, all synthesise an imperceptible atmosphere that is hard to resist. Especially for young couples like Hara and Manousos, who have the bursting energy of youth and flaming romance within their spirits.
Even though they live abroad but married in their homeland Macedonia Greece, Maria and Akis wanted a session in Santorini island. Since I often work in Cyclades, I know the islands exceptionally well and was able to help them choose locations based on the sort of shots they wanted. Cyclades is a beautiful complex of 33 islands in Aegean Sea. Many popular islands are a part of it such as Santorini, los, Paros and Mykonos. See more…
Lying in the Mediterranean in the heart of Aegean Sea, Mykonos is one of the smallest and sunniest of the Greek islands, enjoying more than 300 days of sunshine a year.
Traditional whitewashed houses of Chora welcome visitors with their colourful doors, and it is a pleasure to get lost walking along ancient streets which twist and turn, offering a fantastic view or an unforgettable cafe around nearly every corner. The white buildings are the perfect foil for the azure sky, and a wonderful backdrop for tumbling bougainvillea flowers in vivid pinks and purples.
When L. and her family took a once-in-a-lifetime long holiday, they were keen to ensure they had a special way to remember the occasion. She had seen some of my work and contacted me in advance to arrange their session in Santorini. See more…
