Lara & Craig

Day 1: The Wedding day

The preparations, ceremony, and reception all took place at Santorini Gem. With a sophisticated, modern setup, a windless day, and clear skies, our starting point was higher than usual. 5 minutes into Lara’s preparations I was like “Grab your veil and take your clothes off”. I knew what I wanted for the intro of the film and the light at Santorini Gem was just perfect for that! The rest of the wedding day was smooth and predictable. No surprises! 

Day 2: Conceptual wedding photography session

We woke up early the next day and headed to a secluded beach. One of our team’s favorite spots. These rock formations, sculpted by years of erosion can’t be found anywhere else in the world. But that was just the warm-up.

For the second part of the day, I delivered on a promise: a conceptual, fine art session like no other. We built a custom metal construction in shallow waters, wrapped 50 meters of linen around it, and set it on fire as the tide rose. With the florist and assistant constantly throwing gasoline to keep the flames alive against the wind, it was pure f*ckn chaos. Lara and Craig jumped into the water without a second thought. The result? See for yourself.

Day 3: The Red Beach

10 hours on the wedding day, 3 hours the next morning, 2 hours in the evening and a burned dress wasn’t enough for them. They asked for one last session at the Red Beach! We arrived close to sunset to catch the best light, shooting freely this time. We focused on their connection, creating ultra-dramatic wedding pictures in the dark waters. 

The Approach

Unscripted wouldn't work here. We went in with a plan, a detailed shot list, and a heavy focus on staged, editorial-style shots with flash. Sessions like these are impossible to bring to life without a big team. This company was once a one-man show, and while I sometimes miss those days, being a team of 5 gives us the leverage to execute productions that would otherwise be impossible.

If you are after something this unique for your wedding images in Greece, send us a message and we'll make it happen.
