About

Hello, I am Kostas. A destination wedding videographer based in Greece, available to travel all around Europe and the world to document your story in the most authentic and personalized way.

Your wedding film for me is much more than the coverage of the wedding day alone. It is a short documentary portraying your love story. When you will watch this wedding video after many years it will remind you exactly how it felt on your special day. It will remind you of all your beloved people and their words. It will remind you why you two have chosen to be together in the first place.

I feel blessed to be a destination wedding and elopement videographer in Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Spetses in Greece, Tuscany, Positano, Venice, in Italy, in the Swiss alps, in France, and in Germany. But I also love to shoot films for elopements and intimate adventurous weddings in Iceland, the Isle of Skye, Ireland, in Europe and all around the world.

In the past few years I have had the chance to receive over 50 top awards for my work from important professional associations and from International Film Festivals. Elected, in particular, as International Filmmaker of the year 2018 and 2019 by Inspiration Photographers, one of the most important professional associations worldwide considered to be the Oscars for Wedding photographers and videographers. Most Awarded Filmmaker of the year 2019, Europe's Best Wedding Film 2018, by Way Up North, among others. The fact of receiving important accolades and having my work recognized at such a broad international level gives me a further incentive to keep telling stories the way we do.

In order to ensure the quality of my work, and to provide a more exclusive service, I accept to book only a limited number of weddings per year.

Each couple has a unique love story. Let’s make your special day unique for the years to come. Let's create some magic together.

Tell me about your story and get the magic started.

A wonderful, thoughtful team

This team is the best in the business. Kostas and team captured my wedding in Sorrento beautifully, despite not having too much time in the city due to jam packed post-COVID wedding schedules. My photos and videos were better than I could have ever imagined. The team is kind, thoughtful, and effortlessly makes each couple feel special. By the end of our wedding we left feeling like we didn’t just hire a vendor, but we made a friend. I’d highly recommend this team for any photography or videography needs without a question. Thank you all for this wonderful memory!

The Best Destination Wedding Videographer

I stumbled across Cinema of Poetry by a chance when I was planning my destination wedding in Greece. I’ve interviewed and spoke with multiple videographers and the moment my fiancé and I had a meeting with Kostas, we knew then and there that we want to work with him. I’ve watched his art of work and Kostas has an incredible talent of telling a story using your unique background and love story. I appreciated that he was upfront with his style and he screens his couple to ensure that both parties are good match to work together. I loved his transparency and the time he took to explain his style and what to expect. Kostas is extremely organized and very professional. He really cares for you but at the same time he wants you to trust him to do his art of work (for example, he picks up the song/music for the video, often times it’s an original piece). We filmed shots the day of the wedding and he felt that we didn’t have enough material and took the time to meet with us the day after the wedding to shoot more to capture the beauty of Naxos. While we were so tired, it was worth 1000%. The Instagram teaser, and the delivery of the videos were timely and very high quality. Kostas keeps in touch with you after the wedding to keep you up to date and what to expect. Since we had international wedding with multiple languages it was challenging to express the essence of it in the video, but Kostas did a fantastic job! I’m so happy that we went for the whole package and if you are looking for a videographer for your destination wedding who really loves his work, I can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Kostas for capturing our love and telling our story in an artistic way that we will share and watch with loved ones many years to come! Thank you and big hugs from me and Vlad!

A video that is UNIQUELY true to your love

I'm going to be very direct for those who don't like to read long messages (because this is going to be long) - if you're looking for a wedding/elopement/engagement video that is utterly unlike any other video you've seen - one that is 100000% unique to your love and your special day - then stop your search now, and hire Kostas to capture this milestone for you. I mean this with every fiber of my being.

Ok now for those of you who like the details and lengthy description:

I found Kostas through Instagram; I can't recall exactly how I stumbled upon his profile, but it didn't take more than watching a single one of his videos to know that his creations were unlike any other. Kostas is heart-centered and therefore, he approaches his craft with emotion and deep intention. He asked for a pre-interview with us so he could get to know us. Details that we shared on that day (years before our wedding, due to the pandemic) were ultimately woven into the video and his recent blogpost - what does that tell me? It tells me that he listens carefully and pays close attention to detail - attributes that undoubtedly shine through his work.

In addition to the spectacular visuals, Kostas captures and incorporates all of the sounds that you want to remember - for example, the traditional acoustic music, the occasional banter and laughs, loud frogs in the quarry - audio details that take you back to the day. Again, this is all in addition to how he uses natural lighting, his exceptional equipment, and the landscape to present you at your best.

What meant the most to us was that Kostas incorporates storytelling, symbolism, and poetic tie-ins. I honestly can say that our video beautifully represents my husband and I as a unit, separately as individuals, and the community we've built. In the few interactions we had, Kostas was able to piece this all together and create a work of art that we will treasure forever.

He noted that one of our wedding themes was this notion of blending since my husband and I come from different backgrounds and we also have different personalities. What's incredible is that Kostas navigated all the various styles, preferences, and comfort levels that came with this. "Blending" comes to mind when I think of Kostas as well since he had the beautiful ability of blending in and yet, he captured every single important moment from our day.

Thank you, dear Kostas, for being our most treasured partner in our celebration of love. We can only speak the highest of your talent, your heart, and your passion. The video you created brings us the greatest joy and there aren't enough words to express just how grateful we are

The perfect choice without a doubt!

When beginning our search for the right elopement photographer and videographer it was quite the overwhelming experience. Where do you start and how do you know you have the right person to execute your vision.

After researching various potential options, we were so lucky to find Cinema of Poetry. We immediately connected with his style and we’re astounded by the work in his portfolio. It was exactly what we were looking for all along. We were so glad he was able to offer both video and photography which was hard to find. We wanted the style to be the same in both the video and photos and worried about having different vendors for each.

From the start he was quick to respond, answer all our questions, get to know us as a couple and our vision. Since we were coming to Greece from outside the country we were worried about all the logistics. However, Kostas personally met with us via video chat in advance which was so great and much appreciated especially how accommodating he was with our time difference. He also gave suggestions for vendors and cities to consider when booking our stay. His advice was so helpful and we booked a hotel in the beautiful city of Imerovigli which was the most perfect location for us in between everything on the island but also not super busy either.

He was in constant communication with us and making sure we felt confident in the plans. On the day of our ceremony, him and his team were a pleasure to meet in person. They made us feel comfortable while they captured those important and intimate moments. Him and his team spent the entire day with us and even helped with transporting us in their vehicle to different unique locations for different shots. During this time we got to know him and his team and they were just genuine kind people. You can tell they truly put an effort in the work they do, they care about the couples they work with and creating something truly reflective of the individual story. The passion they have for what they do is very obvious and what anyone would want in someone who will be capturing their special day. I cannot recommend him and his team enough. If you want to work with an experienced, award winning team, who is not only skilled but also humble and kind this is who you want. You will not be disappointed. Instead, you will gain a friend and the ability to look back and re-live the once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Kostas and your entire Cinema of Poetry team for everything. We are obsessed with what you created for us and how perfectly it embodied that day. We are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you! - S&J

A necessity

Kostas is truly an amazing photographer and videographer.
When my husband and I were searching for a vendor for our Iceland elopement wedding, Kostas was 100% undisputed in our choice.
The film he shoots and produces are not only beautiful, he understood the assignment of the kind of vibes we were looking for, while keeping the final film a surprise!
Kostas is also patient with our demands, ideas, and looks after the small details and our comforts as well.
Other than his outrightly gorgeous filmmaking, he made an excellent travel partner.
We both felt extremely comfortable bouncing ideas off with Kostas, driving around in the blizzards, and enjoying our adventures. We definitely miss Kostas and will engage him for any future endeavours like this.
You definitely want to engage Kostas!

Well Worth the Investment

Kostas was a pleasure to work with and he did a phenomenal job with our photographs and wedding video. It was well worth the investment! He was very responsive since our initial contact, put me at ease booking from another country and helped answered all of my many questions. He and his assistant were super professional yet we felt like we were hanging with two friends! Highly recommend.

The Lanterns of love

Our collaboration with Kostas was a unique experience. From the very first time we felt safe and fearless to express our feelings and thoughts for each other even on the edge of a ruined house & on the sea of a deserted Greek island floating like lanterns. Costas captured purely through his lens our special moments, as every time we watch his video we feel the same strong emotions as that day. His artistic nature and professionalism are indisputable.

Professionalism & respect

Cinema of poetry made us feel that they were the right choice for our wedding. They were everywhere but without bothering, they immortalised every little moment of us with such a lowiness. They respected our guests and the invaluable moments we had with them. And the result was something magical. Our video is a masterpiece and the photos cheepily artistic. Thank you Cinema of Poetry.

"Amazing" would be an understatement!

Absolutely the best videographer a couple can find for their wedding day! Extremely high level of professionalism, very pleasant to work with, we had great connection with his team, they were very friendly and made us feel very relaxed. Kosta and his team went above and beyond during our wedding day and the next-day photoshoot. And when I say above and beyond I mean it - they were on the floor shooting from different angles, sprinting from one location to another, taking creative, intimate and unique shots. What he has is a real talent - he meets the couple, shoots the wedding and according to every couple's different personalities, characters and wedding atmosphere - has a specific and unique vision about how to tell their story. Beautiful, beautiful work - not one person who has seen our wedding videos was able to hold their tears back! 100% recommended!
