From Elias Kordelakos, the photographer… A destination wedding in Greece is the ultimate dream. The sun-bathed country of the Mediterranean offers a variety of venues for every event. The wedding of Jim & Eirin was held at the newly renovated Four Seasons in Athens. Covid wouldn’t stop love from prevailing. The couple had originally planned a destination wedding with more guests but they adapted to the situation and decided to celebrate their love with their most dear ones.

Photographing a wedding during this sensitive period is not an easy task. To me, as a photographer working with a mask hiding my face was an additional obstacle I had to overcome. When taking people’s portraits, it’s helpful for them to see the photographer smiling back at them. The good thing on the other hand was that people seem to evaluate more the things we used to take for granted.

Like being close to your friends, hugging and partying together. So many feelings to capture. The venue is overlooking the sea and as Elias Kordelakos, the wedding photographer describes, has a perfect orientation as you can enjoy the sunset and have gorgeous light throughout your reception. It’s always a good idea to advise with your wedding photographer about the ideal timeline for the day. DeplanV, together with Studio7flowers created a magical installation with flowers and chandeliers for the couple’s 50 guests!
