Meet your Crete Wedding Photographer
Hello, I am Athanasios.
Holla, Hairetai (the Greek version)! Allow me to introduce myself. In a few words, I was born and raised in Greece. My father was a cinematographer and supported me in my decision to study photography in Great Britain.
I have been awarded a Master’s degree in photography from a British university, and I have won numerous photographic awards in wedding photography and also in travel photography.
Regarding wedding photography, my two biggest achievements were being selected as one of the world’s top 10 destination wedding photographers of the year 2011 “Brides” magazine “Conde Nast Travellers” and one of the top 100 international wedding photographers for the year 2016 by “wedding photographers society”!
During a wedding day, people experience intense moments, and I am there to record them and describe them with my photographic images. I do not interfere during your Diving Underwater Wedding in Crete and try to be “transparent” and capture the moment, the feeling, the expression, the situation!
The only photographic session at which I interfere during the day and give instructions and directions are when I am left alone with the couple in order to have their wedding portraits, which I name “Creatively Directed Wedding Portraits”.
Therefore, my photographic style and aesthetics are a mixture of “Wedding Photojournalism” and “Creatively Directed Wedding Portraits”.
Underwater photography during your Scuba Dive Wedding will be done by my associate diver-s
