Duo Album Design

Evagoras — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 20:52:36 +0100

Duo album a by far my favourite. They are elegant and incorporate some traditional and some contemporary elements. The beauty of the Duo is they contain mat pages, which allow the photo to be placed inside the aperture, and fully bound pages which enable to design a full edge to edge page with the 'story book' style which many clients love.

Enzo & Louise's Wedding ~ 11 June '11

Stellio & Lefko ~ 29 May 2011

Evagoras — Sun, 29 May 2011 00:00:00 +0100

"AMAZING! Just what we asked for!"

"AMAZING! Just what we asked for! Thank you so much"... Just some of the comments received from Stellios & Lefko in their preview. This is what I love about my job and makes me strive to continuously capture special memories and deliver quality images time and time again.

It started with a journey to South London with my good friends from TVP Soulla Trigomides and her assistant Gavin as we decided to share the journey for convenience.

As all Greek Stolismata (Traditional Preparations) go, living rooms at both houses were packed with family singing along to the live acoustics from Leo & Petros from the Greek Band Connexions.

Although the day was running slightly behind schedule, again as ALL Greek weddings go, we still managed to find a spare 5 minutes to take some FAB shots of the Groom with his Ushers and the Brides Maids around the corner from St Sophia's Greek Orthodox Cathedral.

After the service and with ALL the family portraits (30 in total) efficiently setup & photographed in 15 minutes we moved straight on to the a ever popular venue The Brewery.

The evening was organised by Perrys The Wedding Company and we were allocated 25 the minutes for some Urban/Industrial portraits which were greatly appreciated by the couple as they wanted to opt out of the traditional 'Park Portraits'.

This was followed by a crazy evening of live music and dancing throughout the night and ending with the Bride Celebrating her birthday at the stroke of midnight.

George & Evy's Wedding ~ 22 May 2011

Evagoras — Sun, 22 May 2011 00:00:00 +0100

Six years on and an evolved style still goes on

Tonight I was at The Grand Connaught Rooms, around the corner from Covent Garden. The last time I was here was back in 2005 photographing one of my very first weddings and it is amazing to look back and see how my style of photography has evolved. It was also amazing to see what impact the refurbishment had made on the banqueting venue.

A Grand room with high ceilings which was no match for Diastello to fill with their sets of Traditional and Modern Greek music and a set of classic and chart topping hits by Alex Stassi.

Many details made this wedding stand out mainly due to the bride being very attentive to detail and incorporating her skills as a designer. This included hand making the diamontes for the cake & flowers and her love for sweets was shown and organising a pic 'n' mix of 'classic' sweets for her guests to enjoy throughout the evening. There was also Still Living Statues and a performance by a close friend who sang for the bride & groom.

The church service was at The All Saints Greek Othodox Church in Camden Town and we then moved to Queen Mary's Gardens in Regents Park for the official Portraits - with perfect weather!

One thing which I loved was the LED lit dance floor supplied by Gold Star which made for some fantastic shots of the groom dancing Zeibekiko (Zeybek dance) which I shot without a flash and with my 50mm prime lens at 1.2f.

A Stunning Couple in a Stunning Venue and proud to say some stunning images

I first made Andrea when I photographed at her sisters wedding in Cyprus 2008. Where she had the pleasure of being maid of honor.

Tonights venue The Royal Exchange, in the heart of the city is not only a very unique and exquisite venue but very sentimental to the Bride and Groom as it is where William & Andrea first met!

Andrea wore a very elegant and beautiful dress and opted for a unique & decadent vintage bouquet - which was not thrown!

Cyprus Weddings

Evagoras — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 20:00:00 +0000

Tonight confirmed another Cyprus Wedding in the stunning resort of Colombia Beach Resort, Pissouri. Making it 2 for 2011. Thats a total of 7 Cyprus weddings since 2007 (2 in 2008 and another 2 this year). As a frequent flier to the homeland Cyprus, especially in the summer periods, it is convenient if you are living in the UK and you are planning on having a Cyprus wedding to also have a UK photographer.

If i am in Cyprus at the time of your wedding you may benefit by not paying any extra flight or accommodation fees for a UK photographer to photograph your wedding. Plus having all your consultations, previews, album meetings and collections back in the UK rather than having to liaise with a Cyprus based photographer over emails & telephone is also convenient.

13 March 2011 - Necati & Bahar's Engagement

Evagoras — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:40:33 +0000

A very intimate celebration of a very intamate couple.

Held at a Turkish restaurant in Petts Wood, Kent, it was a small gathering of a few close friends and family with some light entertainment of live music and a exotic belly dancer. Fresh Turkish cuisine served straight off the charcoal and whilst things were being served the chef's kindly served the videoman and myself some extra special Lahmacun. What a treat!

Thanos Petrelis LIVE! at the HMV forum, London

Evagoras — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:59:59 +0100

I was privileged to be the only official photographer for the one night only LIVE performance from Thanos Petrelis, the popular Greek singer, at the London HMV Forum on 28th March 2010.

With supporting acts from Ioanna Protopapas, Girl Band 'Candy Rock' and Eirini Papadopoulou, Thanos Petrelis took onto stage at 8pm performing a 3hr set with a variety of tracks from his Platinum & Gold albums including: 1-2-3, Eftihos, Adiorthodi and a few classic Greek anthems and gave an outstanding performance.

The ex 'Fame Story' contestant displayed on stage passion, charisma, gave the crowd exactly what they were expecting and received more than he bargained for when a lady from the crowd threw her bra on stage in desperation to get noticed by the heartthrob singer!

During his second set, Petrelis invited some of the crowd to join him on stage to dance whilst he sung and at one point offering the mic to one of the fans to help him with a line from a song. Another lady approached him to inform the singer (with hand gestures) that she was the one who threw her bra on stage! At the end of that particular song, Petrelis got overwhelmingly involved in a group hug by the fans on stage.

The concert, held inside the Grade II listed building, formally the 'Kentish Town Forum', was a near sellout with the upstairs seated section totally sold out. This was accomplished by the excellent organization and promotions of 'Privé Productions' owned by Polis Policarpou and Andreas Michaelides. Andreas who currently hosts the 'Drive Time Show' on London Greek Radio 'LGR' 103.3 fm and Polis also a former DJ on the popular Greek radio station.

Finishing with one of his most popular songs 'Kernao', Petrelis left the stage to greet some lucky backstage pass fans for autographs, then left the venue for an after show party and meal at the 'Red Pepper Restaurant' in Cockfosters, North London where a few fans had managed to catch up with him for individual photographs and additional autographs.

Tony & Yvonne's Engagement Party - 27th February 2010

Evagoras — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 18:00:00 +0000


A proud moment is when you are photographing a family event and a great achievement when a few of the photographic results come from being
'under the influence'.



Tony & Yvonne, (Yvonne being first cousin to my wife) had a religious ceremony in the presence of their friends and families at the Emerald Suite in
North London which involved blessing the couple's Engagement rings and exchanging them over three times by the witnesses (best man & maid of honor).

Shortly followed exceptional live entertainment from the 2 brothers of the 8 piece band Diastello ...and as a surprise to Tony, from his wife to be,
was a short performance from a Lionel Ritchie act who sung a few numbers of the soul superstar's hit collection.

During the remainder of the evening followed plenty of food, traditional Greek dancing & Greek drinking!
Congratulations Tony & Yvonne... Can't wait for the wedding (March '11)
