My love for photography has been taking over from a very young age. I have always been taking pictures from the moment I got my first camera in his hands at 9 years old. As I was growing older, the way to express myself was through a Nikon FM2 camera, a 50mm lens and countless rolls of Tri-X 400 Black and white film. I have spent countless hours in the darkroom processing my own films, because I wanted to have the control of the whole process from the beginning till the end. A bit later I received a scholarship by the Greek Ministry of Culture to study photography and what started as a passion evolved to a profession.

Takes professionalism to the highest levels...
He had the solution for everything...
Totally recommended and hope to work with him and his group again and again!!! Thank you so much!!!
Communication leading up to the wedding was via email and we always received quick responses to all of our questions. We met with Vangelis at his office a couple of days before the wedding. He went through a timeline of the day and told us exactly what was going to happen.
When the day came around Vangelis and his team were amazing. The direction he gave was brilliant (and I'm sure he had his work cut out for him as we are not a couple used to being infront of a camera!). He captured the most beautiful pictures of the day, such candid photos of all of our guests, and even suggested we do our first dance earlier to capture the stunning light and colours of the sunset.
He is the by far the best photographer and knows his stuff along with the rest of his team. We honestly can't thank him enough and are in love with all of our photos!
1. Searching phase - I researched many photographers, looked at their website photos and reviews. I did lot of research because I realised a lot of other photographers on Santorini took excellent photos for Caucasians but only average quality for Asians, it might be because they were not experienced/familiar with Asian facial features. When I saw three Asian wedding couple photos that was featured on Vangelis website that I loved so much, I contacted Vangelis Photography to see if he was available on our wedding day. Irianna the assistant manager was very friendly and professional and got back to us promptly with all our questions.
2. Planning phase - We had one video call with Vangelis where we get to know each other, he was very friendly and I'm grateful for his time to get to know us before the wedding. The rest of the communications on the wedding day schedules was communicated via our wedding planner. My hair and make-up artists all told me that my photo is going to be really good because Vangelis is my photographer.
3. Wedding day - Vangelis is even more warm and friendly in person on our wedding day. It was a very hot and windy day and he took us to so many different spots for our after ceremony photos. He knows all the good spots! Every location turns into a magical place in his photo! He even bought us cold water drinks so that we wouldn't get dehydrated. His assistant was also very friendly and helpful. He is so professional and you can tell he loves his job and has a lot of pride in his work.
I highly recommend contacting Vangelis for your wedding photo!
Vangelis was very professional ,willing to help others and at the same time fun to work with. He was answering phone calls from the wedding planner, the flower decoration partner and the catering service team on the wedding day to help them find our wedding venue (it was not easy to find a place in Santorini)
My husband and I received the photos a few days ago and they were beyond our expectation. I would definitely recommend Vangelis to any couples who are getting married (not just in Santorini but other part of the world as well, as Vangelis travel a lot).
We felt like he was part of our experience, like we knew each other for a very long time. He was so professional and detailed but also open and made us feel very relaxed, comfortable and stress free. He made it look effortless. He has an eye for every detail and his photos are really an art, you can truly feel his love for photography. Just watching him taking the photos was a unique and special experience.
Also his team was always there for us.
Photos arrived very quickly and we are amazed by the result.
We couldn't imagine having a better photographer on our wedding day, thank you Vangelis!
Vangelis and his team did an amazing job of capturing our wedding and the breathtaking beauty of Santorini. Each photograph was a work of art.
Vangelis and his team also impressed us with their professionalism and warm personality. Their experience and helpful direction let us relax and be ourselves, resulting in photographs that radiated authenticity and genuine emotion.
Flipping through our wedding album feels like reliving the day, with each image evoking a rush of emotions. The attention to detail and the seamless flow of the narrative they crafted through their photographs is truly exceptional.
If you're planning a wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Vangelis Photography!
