Travel – Wedding – Greece

Travel – wedding – Greece. While being a wedding photographer, my other photography expertise is travel photography.

Many times I hear from couples that hire me to photograph their weddings, that they would love to have more time to explore in more depth the place they are getting married at (engaged or having their anniversary to or organising an event).

Obviously the Greek flagships for elopements, destination weddings, travel and tourism destination are Santorini island, Mykonos and the Greek islands!

Experiencing the islands

At this post Travel – wedding – Greece, you will see a few photographs of what to expect to find during your visit in Greece.
