F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions

  • I live in Athens Greece on the northern part of the town with my wife and two kids, and a little dog :) However I do travel very often to where my couples take me!

  • Yes I do! I have photographed weddings in U.S.A as I m also an American citizen, In Hungary, Italy, Germany , Switzerland, and Cyprus. I find that experiencing new places boosts my inspiration as I see everything through the eyes of a stranger, as everything is new all over again!

  • It really depends very much on location, travel distance and logistics, it also depends on season. That is actually one of the reasons I offer the free video consultation to my couples. Once I know more, I always try to adapt and make the best possible offer for my clients through a custom quotation.

  • My standard coverage is 8-10 ours but depending the location and date, I can take on smaller assignments.

  • I usually average about 90 images per hour of actual coverage so you know what to expect. All the images will be professionally edited in house, and will be available for download in full resolution, for anyone that has the provided password.

  • On a normal turnaround time is about 6-8 weeks, but sometimes earlier depending on season and my travels. On my contracts I agree that the maximum turnaround time would be up to 12 weeks, but I really can not remember the last time it took me that long. Please keep in mind that my editing is not outsourced. Many photographers do that but I m not willing to sacrifice the quality and the control that we have in house.

  • Yes in 80% of the medium to large Weddings that I cover I do have an associate photographer, with me as most couples choose this option.

  • Yes it would be possible to do so with the express photo editing option I offer. However since I also need to allocate time for editing, it must be ordered priorly.

  • To reserve your wedding date a non-refundable & not transferrable retainer and a signed contract is a required. Dates are secured once the retainer and contracts are completed. Full payment, would be required on the date of the event.

  • Bookings follow the first come first serve philosophy. To reserve your wedding date a non-refundable & not transferrable retainer is required. The retainer is then applied towards your final balance. In case of cancellation or change of date, I will refund only* if I'm able to book the date again.

  • After more than 20 years as a photographer, I have worked with most things in photography. From fashion to portraits and studio product photography, Architecture, food and catalog work, you name it, I most likely have done it. My heart is in people photography as I do love characters and personalities. Meeting new people is what excites me as I feed on the energy I get from them.

  • It is really hard to answer as I have been to many beautiful places, however I do favor the Greek Islands :) Besides the popular islands like Mykonos and Santorini, there are many underrated hidden gems within the Aegean sea with unparalleled beauty and privacy. Sifnos, Serifos, Agistri, are amonst my favorites. What matters most is *your* connection and chemistry as this is where I base my work. As a photographer I always try to set the highest standard and to create magic wherever I am.
