Christos in Canada

I finally got around to completing a few images for the blog from my first destination wedding in Canada. What can I say it was a real adventure and I had a blast. We started of with the guys this time around since I stayed at the same hotel as they were in. The guys were real troopers for a 9:30AM start time, mind you the wedding ceremony was at 4PM. I later found out that they got undressed and spent the remainder of the morning and early afternoon at the hotel pool.
If you ever plan on going to Canada you have to check out and stay at this rocking hotel Novotel Montréal Aéroport. After I finished the guys it was a very fast drive to the bride’s house. A special thanks goes out to the videographer Marcello from Pacifica that was kind enough to chauffeur me around the entire day.

Now I also photograph more traditional bridal party portraits for the couples families but the brides and grooms want something cooler for themselves.

So here we go a relaxed bridal party portrait with attitude.

When i think of it and as the day progresses i truly enjoy capturing emotional moments. I feel that the father and daughter dance is my favorite part of the wedding.

Angela and Jimmy Phat Greek Wedding

All I can say is WOW what an awesome wedding this was. I had a hard time selecting the images for the blog on this one. Since I had a hard time I ended up putting close to 50 images from this weeding on my new yummy website under Gallery 1, so why don’t ya head on over and check out Christos yummy website and some fun images from this wedding.

This wedding was held at Floral Terrace in Floral Park. The music was provided by non other then Power Station Orchestra and singing was the man Yanni Papastefanou. Ok enough with that let’s get to some pictures.

My favorite picture is the first one, This image was captured the moment after the brides dad put her shoes on. The emotions in this image are unreal filled with tears of joy.

Before and After

I think it’s time for a show and tell of an image before and after. As all my current clients know all the proofs that you receive have basic white balance and color correction applied but are not finished 100%.
When you select the images for your album or purchase any enlargements from me, all images go through another round of editing and become the finished product. This is important to understand since I include a DVD that contains all the proofs on a high resolution DVD. The images on the DVD are of the same quality as the proofs, why do you ask well it’s rather simple. If I provide you with 800 proofs it’s not practical for me to retouch all the images since a large portion of them will not be ordered or end up in your album. The other thing is you are really paying for my experience and talent as a visual artist to document your wedding and for my experience to provide you with excellent imagery. Unfortunately this comes at a price and is what will set the images apart. Just because I own the same pots, pans and knife’s that Wolfgang Puck uses, it doesn’t mean that I can cook like him. Plus my wife is a better cook then I am anyway.

As you can see the image on the left is straight out of the camera and it looks pretty good as is, this is what you will be receiving as a proof print and what would be included on your DVD. The image on the right is a final print that will end up in your album or as an enlargement. Know you can see the difference on why you should come too me for your enlargements, but the choice is yours.

Christine and Yanni Wedding

I had this wonderful opportunity to photography another beautiful Greek bride and her now handsome husband Yanni. This lovely couple has been a blast to work with and hang out for frappethes during our relationship. And I must say I had a blast at their wedding. So Christine and Yanni congratulations guys. So I know everybody is waiting for some images and here you go. This wedding had so many wonderful images I had a hard time in selecting the images for the blog post so I decided to post more than usual. I also decided to post more images from this wonderful wedding ceremony that was held at the Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York City.

Now don’t forget to check out the online slideshow by clicking here.

PS.
I’m sorry for the heavy watermark on the images but apparently certain studios / photographers in the NY area have been using my images and passing them of as there own, bad, bad, bad. So if you are a potential client and see my images on another photographers website please let me know.

Thanks
Christos

Olga and Yanni

I just wanted to congratulate you guys on your wedding, and it was my honor being part of your special day.
As you can see from the images below I’ve fallen in love with Black and White pictures in the reception hall. I don’t know why but I just feel it has the feeling of those very old Black and White Greek movies. I think you all know what I mean.

Talk to you guys soon.

My not so big Greek wedding

I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph Christina’s and George’s wedding. They were such a fun couple to work with and photograph. Not only that but they “got” what my style of photography is all about. Now of course I did all the traditional portraits, but they just let me do what I do best.
This was a “Politico Gamo” here in New York and they will be getting married in Greece this coming July. Sorry guys but as we discussed I have a wedding the next day.
The wedding has held at the beautiful Sand Castle in Long Island New York. The music for the night’s festivities was performed by the Acoustics Greek and Americas orchestra.

And now let’s not forget Harris from the Acoustics
