Hello Nektarios and Caroline. We would like to say a big THANK YOU for all your help in making Saturday such a fantastic day for us. We had the best day!! You were both super nice and incredibly persuasive; I can’t believe we ‘snogged’ in front of passing traffic, to a camera!! We loved everything and we genuinely had a blast! Again, thank you SO much!! Best wishes, Lena and Richard

Theodor and Nek you were sensational! Always seemingly in the background non-abrasively but such amazing wedding shots. We thoroughly enjoyed your patience, initiative and speed with both photos and video. Many thanks.
A perfect photographer and a perfect cameraman! We could not recommend them highly enough! They produced the most beautiful images and managed to capture the essence of the day in a way we could not have imagined. If you’re wondering if it is worth spending the money then we say “do it!” You won’t find better photographers than Nek’s team!
Thanks for the great work to our family. I was not let down in any area and I have the most beautiful albums! You are truly the best Greek photographers. We would and do gladly recommend you to anyone who wants the best honeymoon shoot! Thanks again!
I strongly recommend Nek for food and commercial photos. His experience, professionalism and creativity were truly appreciable.
Shame we only intend on getting married once as we would certainly be asking you again. Seriously though, many thanks again for these lovely pictures. You have helped create some even better memories for which we are very grateful.
We had such a wonderful videography and that couldn’t be possible without you. We would recommend you to anyone who wants the best!
One cannot ask for a more professional, easy-going and top quality photographer to have. I'm not used to having so many photos taken of me! But you made it so easy for us.
We want to thank our lovely photographers for their beautiful work. All lovely compliments from the family when saw our album and the pictures. Would strongly recommend them x
Thanks for the amazing work! Teo you are truly the best photographer I have come across and having a history of working in such celebrations I tend to have high standards. I was not let down in any area and I have the most beautiful albums as a result to prove it.
Thank you so much for your amazing work, help and professionalism!

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.

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.
Despite this being the age of the selfie, it is normal for couples to feel an initial sense of awkwardness when it comes to their engagement images. Most of our couple’s consultations begin with me asking questions to help them decide on the perfect setting/s for their engagement gallery. Not so with Funda and Serhan! The beautiful and talented drama teacher and her handsome fiancé had very clear ideas about how they wanted their images to look, and I was excited to get on board and help them create the album of their dreams. After discussing a variety of ideas, we settled on four concepts: a Star Wars lightsaber fight; a romantic backdrop inspired by Old Hollywood glamour; a romantic outdoor shoot; and a relaxed collection showing their fun and energetic personalities.
