  Un fotografo al servizio della coppia

  Abbiamo scelto Ilias perche’ ci ha colpito da subito la sua capacita’ di ascolto e la sua professionalita’. Una persona davvero disponibile con cui e’ facile comunicare e che sa come far sentire a proprio agio la coppia. Siamo davvero felici di come Ilias sia riuscito a catturare in modo naturale e rilassato il giorno piu’ bello della nostra vita. Marco e Giota, Milano

  The perfect choice

  From our first contact with Elias, we found that he was an artist with a great sense of style and aesthetics that fit us in, but especially a warm person who deserved to be trusted in this momentous moment for us...
  Σε κάθε στιγμή ήταν εκεί, σε ετοιμότητα, να αποθανατίσει μέσα από τον φακό του την αλήθεια μας. Τα γέλια, την αγωνία, το κέφι, την συγκίνηση, την παραμικρή ασήμαντη (μα τόσο σημαντική) λεπτομέρεια, όλα! Στάθηκε δίπλα μας με ματιά καθαρή, με εύστοχες οδηγίες μα κυρίως στάθηκε δίπλα μας με αληθινό ενδιαφέρον και διακριτική ευγένεια. Με δυο λέξεις στάθηκε δίπλα μας σαν φίλος...
  Μας έκανε το πιο ξεχωριστό δώρο - μέσα από τις φωτογραφίες του θα αναπαράγουμε την ανάμνηση του γάμου μας, κάθε χαμόγελο, κάθε δάκρυ, με έναν τρόπο που δ ε ν θ α τ ο ν α λ λ ά ζ α μ ε μ ε κ α ν έ ν α ν ά λ λ ο !
  Ηλία, το ξέρεις ήδη, σ ευχαριστούμε από καρδιάς...

  An amazing photographer who delivers with a laid-back attitude and constant smile

  Ilias is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person. We wanted more 'lifestyle' and natural photographs for our wedding in Hydra. Although parts of organising a destination wedding can be nerve-wracking, after just a brief video call we immediately knew that Ilias was the one to trust with capturing the moments of our wedding day. Even though we experienced a Mediterranean hurricane the week leading up to our Wedding Day, Ilias arrived on time, took the best photos of all the craziness and always maintained a positive attitude! We absolutely recommend Ilias for all of your event photography needs

  Wonderful photographer, beautiful photos

  Sensitive, warm, discrete, professional, calm, reassuring - these are just a few of the words that we would use to describe Ilias' presence at our wedding. We were anxious to find a photographer that would be a part of our day rather than being an intrusive or awkward presence, and we couldn't have found a better person. We appreciated his genuine interest in understanding who we are as a couple as well as our vision for how we would like our wedding to be photographed. As for his photographs, not only did Ilias capture the key moments of the day beautifully, but he also captured the small, informal moments of laughter and emotion between ourselves and our guests, giving us wedding photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Ilias!

  Excellent choice for our wedding photos!

  Ilias is the professional you want to have in your wedding!.... being almost invisible while working, he produced for us lovely artistic images that caught moods, feelings, snapshots and small details that we"ll carry not only in our hearts but also in his photos.
  
  Thank you so much Ilias!!!

  Ilias is a Wonderful and Invested Photographer!

  I can’t express how happy my husband and I are with our choice of Ilias as our wedding photographer, and we highly recommend him. Since we planned the wedding from the States with very little knowledge of Hydra, we were initially very nervous and concerned that our vision for wedding pictures would not translate well via Skype calls and emails. The results far exceeded anything we could have hoped for. Ilias took the time to completely understand our vision, which allowed him to provide the perfect recommendations for photography locations, timing, and wardrobe choices. He was extremely personable, helpful, and easy to work with, and ensured that every idea we initially discussed was accounted for in our sessions. We are extremely grateful to Ilias for his thoughtful and creative work, and look forward to working with him again in the future!

  His camera was wherever our heart was...

  We found Ilias online, fed up meeting photographers whose photos were too professional, too cold and too common. Since the first time we met, we realized Ilias was the perfect photographer for us. He welcomed us really warmly at his office and wanted to know who we are, what is our story and what we wanted our wedding photos to tell. He shared our enthusiasm as if he had been our friend, same enthusiasm with which he took the pictures at our wedding. He didn't stress us out, rushed us or imposed any style on us. Instead, he let us be natural and creative in our own way and he captured every part of it in his pictures. We were really happy to have him, not only for the photos that he took, but also for his easygoing and fresh personality, that made our beautiful day more fun and quite relaxed. He blended in with our family, friends and everyone that was important to us and he was there to capture every precious moment and feeling in a discrete but fully committed way. The intensity of feelings in many of his photos was exceptional!
  
  After the wedding, Ilias shared the pictures with us very fast and the whole collaboration was extremely easy and comfortable. A year later we invited him to photograph my nephew's baptizing ceremony, where his work was again excellent.
  
  The reason for which we love Ilias' work is that this is more than a job to him. He becomes part of the family, part of the party, part of the moment, and the result is pictures that are impeccably natural. I feel very lucky that we had Ilias with us on our most beautiful day and I am happy to now call him a friend, whom I would like to have there at all the meaningful moments of my family.

  Santorini Wedding of our dreams!

  Having decided to get married abroad in Santorini we always knew that finding good service providers would be based on trust and honesty due to us planning the whole thing remotely back in London. This was initially a worry for us. We spent hours, days searching the internet for companies and individuals to help us, especially photographers, as we wanted to capture our big day. We found Ilias and his site and loved his work. We contacted Ilias, and straight away we knew he was the right person for us. He was amazing. Before the wedding everything was done over email, calls etc and he couldn’t have been more helpful. On the morning of the wedding we met Ilias for the first time at the wedding venue and he was instantly full of ideas on how to capture every aspect of the wedding. Ilias spent the whole day with us and never dropped his smile. And the result was amazing! In all, an excellent photographer and a great guy. We are friends now :). Thank you once again Ilias. You were fantastic Love Garry & Karolina.

  Capturing the essence

  «Amazing service and quality of work! We got married in the Greek island Kea (Tzia), and wanted to keep it simple, easy going and mainly among friends from all over the world. Thus, we wanted a photographer that could catch the spirit of the moment and at the same time communicate well with this international set of guests. Looking back at the result, we realize how much Ilias met our expectations. His pics were full of emotion, action, movement and they make us live the moment over and over again. On top of this, his feel-good spirit and personality contributed to the wedding’s overall mood. Thank you Ilias! Maro & Nikos, Kea, Greece»
