Andreas Sellinidis Photography is built on a specific tension - between the cinematic and the candid, between a strong visual identity shaped by fashion and aesthetics, and an equally strong commitment to honest, unposed emotion. Andreas has been photographing weddings for 25 years, splitting his time between New York and Miami and traveling wherever each story takes him. His work has been featured in Vogue three times. He photographed a wedding with 2,000 guests. And he still keeps his calendar at 10 to 12 weddings a year.
The priorities are clear.
Andreas is originally from Greece and moved to New York City in 2016 - a move he credits with shaping his creative direction in a lasting way.
"I've always been drawn to aesthetics, fashion, and human connection, and photography became the place where all of that came together," he says. "Over time, weddings felt like the most natural space for me, I focus on capturing the energy, emotion, and in-between moments in a way that feels cinematic, honest, and personal to each couple.”
That combination - cinematic visual language meeting real, unscripted emotion - is what defines Andreas Sellinidis Photography. It's not a style borrowed from trends. It's the product of two and a half decades of deliberate evolution.
Twenty-five years in the wedding industry is long enough to have seen everything. Andreas is precise about what has and hasn't changed across that time.
Over that time, I've seen trends evolve, but what has never changed is the emotion behind a wedding day. My work has become more intentional over the years, focusing less on perfection and more on feeling.
That shift - away from technical perfection and toward emotional truth - is something photographers often describe as a late-career arrival. For Andreas it has become the foundation. "Even now, every wedding still feels different, and that's what keeps me connected to it."
Andreas works from two home bases - New York and Miami - but the nature of his practice means he's rarely confined to either. He photographs across the US, Europe, the Caribbean, and Central America, with frequent work in Italy, France, and Spain.
"I'm always open to new destinations and experiences, whether it's a city wedding, a beach celebration, or something completely unique." For couples planning destination events, that openness is structural - it's built into how the studio operates.
Ask Andreas what he enjoys most about the work and the answer moves past the visual immediately. "I enjoy being part of real moments. Not just what's planned, but what happens naturally - the quiet gestures, the laughter, the emotion. Weddings are full of movement and unpredictability, and capturing that in a way that feels effortless and true is what I love most."
It's a useful statement for couples trying to understand what kind of photographer they're hiring. Andreas isn't building a scene. He's reading one.
With 25 years of experience and a profile that includes Vogue features and large-scale destination weddings, Andreas could fill a much larger calendar. He doesn't.
"I keep my calendar intentionally limited, usually around 10 to 12 weddings per year. This allows me to give full attention to each couple and create a more personal, custom experience. It's important for me that every wedding gets the time, energy, and creative focus it deserves." For couples, that number has a direct implication: booking Andreas means booking his genuine attention, not a slot in an overextended schedule.
A photographer who works across four continents builds a long list of memorable locations. Two stand out for Andreas in particular.
"Some weddings have really stayed with me, the four-day Indian wedding in Mexico, full of color, culture, and nonstop celebration, and a wedding at Amanzoe in Greece, with a cinematic setting overlooking the sea." Both, notably, are remembered for what was happening within the location rather than the location itself. "Each one had its own identity and pushed me creatively in different ways." The place provides the frame. The people provide the story.
Asked which single wedding has stayed with him most, Andreas doesn't hesitate. "DAVIDO's wedding definitely stands out because of the scale and energy of 2,000 guests; it was intense in the best way."
A celebration of that scale is a logistical and creative challenge of a different order entirely - reading energy across a crowd of thousands, finding intimate moments inside something enormous, maintaining the visual coherence that defines his work under conditions that could easily overwhelm it. That it worked is its own statement about what 25 years of experience actually produces.
The answer Andreas gives to the question of inspiration after 25 years is grounded in the same thing that got him into this work in the first place.
It's the people and their stories. Every couple brings something different, and every place adds a new layer. That combination keeps my perspective fresh.
But there's a second source of motivation that goes beyond the day itself. "Seeing how couples connect with their photos later, how they relive those moments, that's what keeps me inspired." The photograph outlasts the day. Knowing that shapes how he approaches every frame.
Andreas is direct about what the studio is built on and where it has been recognised. "The vision behind Andreas Sellinidis Photography is to combine storytelling with a strong visual identity, influenced by fashion and real emotion. A big milestone for me was being three times featured in Vogue, which in our industry feels like an award - it's recognition that your work connects on a higher level and pushes you to keep evolving."
Being a destination photographer feeds that evolution continuously. "Constantly discovering new places and cultures keeps everything fresh."
And underneath all of it, the principle that makes the photographs what they are.
At the core of it all, I want my couples to feel comfortable and present - because when that happens, the photos become something real and timeless.
