A Special Gift from an Aunt on the Island of Crete: Memories That Last Forever

When family travels together, it’s always a great idea to do something meaningful — something that will be remembered for years to come. And one of the most beautiful gifts an aunt can give her niece while on vacation is a professional photo session. Especially in a stunning place like the island of Crete. That’s exactly what Maria did for her niece, Chloe. During their stay at the beautiful Mitsis Rinela hotel, Maria surprised Chloe with a flying dress photoshoot — and the result was magical. Flowing fabrics, the warm Cretan breeze, golden light, and the sea as a backdrop created a truly dreamy experience. These are the kinds of gifts that go far beyond material things. They become treasured memories, captured in timeless images.

If you’re visiting Crete and want to treat yourself or someone you love with a special photo or video experience, I’d be happy to create it for you. Whether it's a romantic, family, solo, or celebration session — I’m here to turn your moments into lasting stories.

Sunrise Photoshoot at Seitan Limani – A Unique Perspective on Male Portraiture

Seitan Limani, one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring locations on the island of Crete, never ceases to amaze. This narrow, winding beach wedged between steep cliffs is a place where raw nature meets serenity — and at sunrise, it becomes absolutely magical.

Recently, I had the chance to do a male portrait photoshoot here, and it turned out to be a truly creative challenge. Male photography often brings unexpected tasks, and this shoot was no exception. One of the main artistic directions was to capture the subject either from behind or in profile, creating a sense of mystery and introspection, while blending with the wild surroundings.

Shooting at dawn meant working with soft golden light, long shadows, and a calm, untouched atmosphere. The sea, the cliffs, and the first rays of the sun became natural elements of the story we wanted to tell — one of solitude, strength, and connection with nature.

Male photoshoots like this prove that storytelling in photography isn't just about faces or smiles. Sometimes, it's about posture, presence, and the space between the subject and the landscape.

Pre-Wedding Parties in Greece: A Beautiful Start to the Celebration

Greece has become one of the most popular destinations in Europe for couples dreaming of a wedding in a breathtaking setting. With its crystal-clear sea, picturesque villages, and warm Mediterranean atmosphere, it's easy to see why so many people choose this country—especially the island of Crete—for their special day.

But a wedding in Greece isn’t just about the ceremony. Most couples arrive several days before the wedding, and they want to make the most of their time together with family and friends. That’s where pre-wedding parties come in. These events are becoming increasingly popular, offering guests a chance to relax, connect, and start celebrating in style.

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending one of these beautiful pre-wedding parties here on Crete. It was a magical evening filled with laughter, music, and unforgettable moments. One of the highlights was a performance by a traditional Greek dance group, featuring two men and two women dressed in vibrant national costumes. They first performed a stunning series of traditional dances and later invited all the guests to join them — turning the party into an unforgettable shared celebration of Greek culture.

As a photographer and videographer, I love capturing these authentic, emotional moments. I documented this evening with a series of photos that reflect the atmosphere of joy and connection—and I’m always ready to film these events as well. From sunset dinners to beachside gatherings, every celebration deserves to be remembered.

If you're planning your wedding in Greece and thinking about how to make the entire experience even more memorable, don’t forget about the days leading up to the big moment. A pre-wedding party is the perfect way to set the tone—and I would be honored to capture it for you.

Whether you’re looking for a professional photographer or videographer for your wedding, pre-wedding event, or any other special occasion on Crete, I’m here to help make your memories last a lifetime.

Feel free to explore the gallery below from this recent event—and get inspired for your own celebration under the Greek sun.

A love story from Chloe&Luke

We organized a marriage proposal for a beautiful couple

And here is their love story

My name is Luke, and my fiancée is Chloe. We first connected on a dating site just before the COVID‑19 pandemic. When lockdown began, we decided to stay in touch and I started surprising her with puzzles and flowers quietly left on her doorstep.

 

During that time, we exchanged countless messages and FaceTime calls. Our connection deepened, and our relationship began to flourish. When restrictions lifted, we finally met in person and went on many memorable dates and soon, we were inseparable.

 

Chloe invited me to meet her family abroad, and ever since then, we've visited them whenever we could. Not long after, I asked her to move in with me. We rented a flat in London and lived there together for a couple of years. Even though it was a time of growth and togetherness, the neighborhood was tough and crime began to rise.

 

That’s when we decided we were ready to buy a home. We relocated to the countryside where I had grown up, embraced a slower pace of life, and made many wonderful memories together. On one of our holidays in Greece, with the summer sun warming everything and the sea sparkling before us, I realized it was the perfect moment to begin the next chapter of our life. I proposed, and she said yes.

A Hidden Gem Above the Sea: Rock Bay Villas, Crete

Tucked away in the tranquil area of Agia Pelagia, Rock Bay Villas is one of those places that truly takes your breath away — especially when viewed from above. With my drone, I had the pleasure of capturing the incredible beauty of this private retreat, and the aerial perspective reveals just how unique and peaceful this location really is.

From the sky, the villa blends harmoniously with the rocky coastline and the deep blue of the Cretan Sea. Surrounded by unspoiled nature and framed by dramatic cliffs, the property offers absolute privacy and a sense of serenity that's hard to find elsewhere. One of its most captivating features is the private beach, hidden away in a quiet bay — perfect for a peaceful swim or a romantic sunset moment.

The architecture of the villa respects the local traditions, with natural stone and earthy tones that match the landscape, creating an authentic atmosphere that feels both luxurious and grounded. From above, everything comes together: the villa, the sea, the cliffs, and the Cretan light — painting a picture of perfect harmony.

As a videographer and drone pilot based in Crete, I’m always looking for locations like this — where nature, architecture, and emotion meet in one frame. Rock Bay Villas is undoubtedly one of the most cinematic spots I’ve had the chance to film.

If you're looking to capture your villa, hotel, or property in its full glory — from the ground and the air — I’d be happy to help you bring it to life through film and photography.

A Romantic Surprise Proposal in Chania, Crete – Amadea & Adam

There’s something truly magical about proposals on the island of Crete. The warm light, the sea breeze, and the breathtaking landscapes make it the perfect place to ask the most important question of your life.

Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a very special moment for Amadea and Adam. Adam planned a surprise proposal near the beautiful town of Chania, on the north coast of Crete. With the sparkling sea in the background and the golden sunset lighting up the sky, he got down on one knee and asked Amadea to marry him.

As a photographer and videographer, it’s always an honor to witness and document such intimate and emotional moments. I discreetly captured every second – from the surprise in her eyes to the joy they shared afterward. The result was a collection of heartfelt photographs and a short cinematic video that tells the story of their love.

Crete offers so many unique and romantic locations for proposals, and I’m always happy to help couples preserve these once-in-a-lifetime memories.

Weddings on the island of Crete are always magical — but there’s something truly special about celebrating love surrounded by ancient olive trees. The soft golden light, the peaceful nature, and the rustic charm of the landscape create a perfect setting for intimate and heartfelt moments.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple in one of these stunning olive groves. The atmosphere was calm and romantic, just as a Cretan wedding should be.
