Real wedding stories across Crete — photographed with presence, emotion and restraint.
Planning your wedding in Crete from abroad?
I’ll guide you calmly through the process — with local knowledge, clear communication, and steady support from the first message to the final delivery.
I’m Panagiotis, a wedding photographer based in Chania.
I document traditional village weddings, destination celebrations and Greek Orthodox ceremonies with a calm, unobtrusive approach focused on real moments and human connection.
Whether you’re planning a large gathering or an intimate seaside celebration, my intention remains the same: to preserve how your day truly felt.
In Crete, the landscape isn’t just a backdrop — it shapes the rhythm of the celebration, from sacred rituals to long, heartfelt gatherings.
Not perfection.
Not performance.
Not moments created for the camera.
I’m drawn to what is unspoken.
To the way your voice softens when you say each other’s name.
To the breath you take before you walk down the aisle.
To the quiet touch that says “I’m here.”
I don’t interrupt your day.
I don’t choreograph emotion.
I stay present.
I observe.
I wait.
Because the most important moments
don’t ask for attention —
they simply happen.
Years from now,
you won’t remember the angle of the light.
You’ll remember how safe you felt.
How calm the room was.
How real it all felt.
That is what I protect.
That is what I preserve.
I work in a calm, unobtrusive way, allowing moments to unfold naturally.
This approach works equally for traditional Greek Orthodox weddings, destination celebrations and intimate gatherings across the island.
I won’t constantly pose you or interrupt your day.
I focus on real interactions, emotions and connections.
You’ll receive a carefully curated collection of images that tell the story of your wedding honestly.
I’m based in Crete and work with couples from all over the world, guiding them through local traditions, venues and the rhythm of a wedding day on the island.
Crete offers an incredible variety of landscapes for a wedding day.
From sandy beaches and wild coastlines to mountain villages, olive groves and historic venues, the island gives you space to create a celebration that feels personal and meaningful.
Many couples choose Crete not only for its beauty, but for the relaxed atmosphere, warm light and slower pace that allow the day to unfold naturally.

Every wedding holds more than a schedule.
It carries emotion, memory, family history and quiet, unrepeatable moments.
My collections are designed to honour that depth — not just to document what happened, but to preserve how it felt. From the stillness of preparation to the energy of the celebration, I photograph with patience, awareness and respect for the people in front of me.
Most couples choose full-day coverage so the story can unfold naturally, without pressure or interruption. I take on a limited number of weddings each season to remain fully present — before, during and long after the day itself.
Wedding collections typically begin at €1,800.
After we speak about your plans, you’ll receive a personalised proposal shaped around your day and what matters most to you.
For couples who value sincerity over trends, and connection over performance.

Real experiences from weddings across Crete.
Panagiotis and Maria were with us during the most beautiful moment of our lives. The photos were wonderful and the video absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, they guided us with their advice and explained everything clearly and in detail. On our wedding day, they were by our side in every moment and helped ease our stress. Thank you for everything — we will definitely choose you again for the next joyful chapters of our lives. ❤️
Thank you very much for accompanying our wedding on the beautiful island of Crete. The pictures of Panagiotis capture the moments of this magical weekend forever. Panagiotis has been an inconspicuous companion and the pictures come online promptly after a few days.
I cannot overstate how amazing Panagiotis is to work with! From the beginning to the end of the process he was flexible, listened to us, and delivered exactly what he promised. He’s an excellent photographer, and the final photos were so flattering to my brown skin. Communication was effortless — I speak only English and he speaks almost native English. Highly recommended, especially if you’re an expat looking for a stress-free photographer in Greece.
