FAQ

We don’t live in Greece, how do we meet with you?

The majority of our couples hire us without a face-to face meeting so this isn’t a problem. We’re pretty quick on email and are available by phone or Skype. We find Skype very effective and can work around any time-zone.

What cameras do you use?

We’re in love with film photography so we use a couple of Contax 645’s (the Cadillac of medium format cameras) and, of course, our Hasselblad 503CW. We also use two Nikons F5 and Nikon digital cameras as back-ups (or when the light begins to fade). We send our films to California for development at the world-leading Richard Photo Lab.

How many photographers will be at my wedding?

You can have both of us or one of us. We recommend hiring both of us as a team for weddings with 70 guests or more. The second photographer is responsible for shooting the groom getting ready, all the details, providing a second perspective on the ceremony and reception, and assisting the lead photographer with off-camera lighting for creative portraits. You simply get a much more ‘rounded’ coverage with two shooters, although the decision is of course up to you.

Do you shoot video too?

No. We’ve no interest in beings Jacks of all trades. We do one thing and we do it really well. We can recommend a handful of talented videographers if you’re interested in a truly brilliant wedding film

We hate having our photos taken. Is that a problem?

Don’t worry, we deal with this issue frequently. We are very calm, mellow people who tend to blend into the background seamlessly. Usually, our couples are totally at ease with us within the first half-hour of shooting. The only time you’ll really be aware of the cameras is during the family or group portraits, during which we offer gentle and creative guidance and suggestions for the best shots. Just be yourselves. We’ll do the rest.

How do you approach family portraits at our wedding?

Your wedding album wouldn’t be complete without your family, so we’ll be sure to cover all of the family portraits that you request. We’ll also cover all of the usual detail shots like shoes, table decor and so forth. However, we’re also intensely focussed on going above and beyond the ‘usual’ wedding day repertoire. We aim to capture a few things that will both surprise and delight you, too.

WHAT IS A "FIRST LOOK"?

The “first look” is something we really love and encourage our couples to do on their wedding day. It involves the two of you seeing each other for the first time, alone, and you can then carry on into your portrait session before the ceremony.
It’s a great way to soak into the day and have some extra time together , and contrary to what anyone might tell you, not unfashionable in the least.

Do you offer collections or à la carte pricing?

Our studio offers the most popular services and products in four different collections. But we are always more than happy to customize a package specifically for each client.

How many photos will we receive?

We deliver the best images that we take on the day. Usually 450-600 images depending on how long we stay.

When will we see our photographs?

We take the utmost care in our editing process. Completion takes about 8 to 12 weeks. After which your online gallery will be made available for you and all your friends and family to see.

Do I receive copyrights to the photos?

Most of our clients won’t require a full copyright buy-out. For clients who are concerned about their privacy (public figures and so forth), we do offer full buy-out of copyrights to the images. Please enquire for pricing and usage restrictions.

How did you get into weddings?

Having secured a degree in human studies, Paul turned his passion for photography into a day job around 20 years ago. Yiota joined the studio 13 years ago (and then fell in love and had children with the owner of the studio so decided to stick around forever!). Weddings are where our hearts are: the joy, the sense of occasion, the pageantry. We love it all.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

We have been lucky enough to photograph weddings in Italy, U.K, Middle East and Australia. We are always keen to adding to the list, so we would like to talk how to make this happen.
