photographing couples for over a decade
Born in the States from Greek parents, in Duchess County New York, I was blessed to have been raised between the USA and Greece.
During different periods of my life, I had a chance to live in the places such as Poughkeepsie New York, New Milford, and Fairfield, Connecticut, San Luis Obispo California, and in Greece at the town of Plomari in Lesvos, and now permanently in Chania on the island of Crete. All those places and their people inspired me and left a significant impact on my vision of the world. They helped me to precise what type of lifestyle I would like to follow and how I could introduce it to the others.

Photography entered into my life at around the age of 15 and it never abandoned me while I was developing a comprehension of simplicity and the importance of light in our lives. I have always been an outdoor person. Climbing mountains, Para-gliding, Scuba-diving, sailing, running short and long distances, and even cycling professionally for many years around the world. This involved a lot of traveling and lots of unforgettable memories.
Madeira in Bloom
There are moments when nature and emotion meet in perfect harmony — like this one, where a bride in a soft, flowing white dress paused beneath an enormous red bougainvillea on the island of Madeira.
The contrast of her elegance against the vivid bloom felt like a quiet conversation between grace and passion. This elopement was a celebration of simplicity and beauty, where every step told a story and every color carried meaning.

A color that speaks in emotions rather than words — bold, passionate, and endlessly alive. In the quiet hills of Apokoronas, within a secluded little Greek chapel on the island of Crete, red became the heartbeat of this intimate elopement. From the vivid blooms that framed their vows to the cake that celebrated their joy, every detail carried warmth, love, and timeless beauty. This was a celebration of connection — where tradition met emotion, and love found its color.

Sultry summer evenings in Greece are almost here.
Barefoot walks along golden beaches, the sun melting into the sea.
On the island of Crete, every sunset whispers temptation.
Get ready to feel the heat.

Private portrait session in the Venetian harbor of Chania Crete.
While visiting Greece Johnny wanted to capture a Saint-Tropez-ish vibe of images for his personal use.
A great gift anyone can arrange while on vacation.
This was a 2hr session that included a short boat ride, some drone images, Polaroids and even medium format film shots
.
All together to make the feeling nostalgic and original

Winter wedding proposal on the island of Crete.
.
Not everyone waits for the Summer to kick in and propose.
Katerinas wish was that if Paul ever pops the question it will have to be in Greece.
Living in the States with Greek backgrounds, they chose to bond their love while visiting Chania in the winter.

@annekristiinaaHi
Is there the slightest doubt that the bride is nothing more than stunning?
Just zoom in on the expressions captured in the first shot.
A highlight for me whenever I can get true emotions like this.
