FAQ – frequently asked questions
Do you photograph weddings abroad?
As a destination-wedding photographer, I photograph weddings at the “4 corners” of our round world. I am happy to cover your wedding in any location in any country!
How many images are delivered?
Each wedding is diferent and the quantity depends on several facts (e.g. the number of photographers booked, the wedding days schedule, customs, happenings, traditions etc.) but you should expect approximately 600 photoshop adjusted coloured photographs and the same images also in black and white (therefore 600 x 2)
High resolution, no logo or watermarks on them.
How long does it take to receive the photographs?
Around 3 months
What exactly do you mean by “Photoshop adjustments”?
Photoshop adjustments refers to colors, contrast, brightness, saturation correction. As a wedding photojournalist, I tend to record and recreate the light, the feeling, the atmosphere and aesthetics! I do not transform the above elements or the people photographed into something else!
Do you hand in the raw files?
Generally speaking no! The very large file size, copyright issues and the knowledge required from someone in order to work on raw files are the main reasons. We can talk about it if you have certain reasons for wanting them.
Are the photographs kept in records by you and for how long?
All the initial raw files are kept in an external disk for 3 months. The delivered JPEG images are kept in an external disk for 3 years.
Can we guide you on certain kind / style of photography?
It is much easier and wiser to choose a photographer with the style and aesthetics you prefer instead of trying to change somebody else’s photographic approach.
Besides, a mutual trust is a must in order to have a smooth cooperation.
It is always good though to talk about your prefernces.
What are the terms regarding the photographs usage and copyright?
According to law and in a few words… you can print and display online the photographs for personal but not commercial use (e.g. you can not sell the photograph). I would appreciate a credit to the photographer.
The photographer retains the right in all cases to use the photographs in any manner at any time and in any part of the world for the purposes of advertising or otherwise promoting his work.
How long do you stay for at the reception – party?
This has to do with the prior agreement and the days itinerary.
What is a wedding slideshow?
Wedding slideshow is an alternative way of presenting digitally your wedding images. Series of photographs, one after the other, presented at your screen (computer or Tv), most of times accompanied by music.

How is the Photobook designed and how long does it take until we receive it?
After you receive your wedding photographs, you choose the ones you would like to be included at your weddings Photobook (s).
We design it and we send it back to you for approval or corrections.
After you check it and you approve it, we send it for production and printing. It takes around one month to reach you.
Please note that corrections have to be made all at once and to be finalized and ordered no later than one year after the wedding.
How is the price worked out?
Pricing depends on several factors…. the season of the wedding, the date, the location, the services required, the number of photographers required, forms of presentation etc.
Travel and accommodation expenses, how are they arranged?
Travel and accommodation expenses may be required at destination weddings.
There are two options, expenses can be either included at the price or alternatively, transportation and accommodation can be arranged directly by you.
Do you provide videography services?
Videographic services were designed in order to assist my photographic services.
In case you wish to book with other videographers, I have no problem at all!
I am happy to cooperate with any videographer or wedding vendor.
Do you suggest – provide a wedding contract?
Although the strongest contract is the mutual agreement, trust and a person’s honor, I provide a wedding contract.
It is recommended for destination weddings.
