Symbolic weddings and vow renewals in Greece
Many of my couples marry legally at home, in New York, Paris or anywhere else, and then celebrate in Greece with a symbolic ceremony. You skip the paperwork and keep all the emotion: your vows, your families and an island at sunset. On film, it looks and feels every bit as meaningful.
I also love filming vow renewals, whether it’s your 10th anniversary or your 40th, with your kids, or with the friends who were there the first time. An island like Paros is a beautiful place to say “I do” again. Whatever the size of your celebration, tell me about your plans and I’ll tailor the coverage to fit.
Films from Paros and the Greek islands
Every island wedding film in my portfolio:

Venue: Orbis Paros, Paros
Four days of love, friendship and music on Paros, from a welcome by the sea at Glafkos Taverna to a celebration by the pool at Orbis Paros, ending aboard a catamaran in the middle of the Aegean with Emmit Fenn behind the decks.

Omer & Ron: a two-day celebration in Crete
Venue: Art Villas Greece, Crete
Crete is part of who they are. Day one felt like a film scene, with an old-school car, powerful motorcycles and golden light. Then came heartfelt vows that silenced the crowd, and one of the wildest sunset parties Crete has seen.

Lauren & Anthony: where the waves meet the light on Kasos
Venue: a seaside chapel on Kasos
A US couple on one of Greece’s most unspoiled islands: a pre-wedding escape by boat to a nearby island and a carefree beach party, then vows at a small seaside church steps from the beach, with the sunset behind them and the waves echoing.

Caitlin & Damon: a love written in the Aegean
Venue: Orbis Paros, Paros

Dreaming of Paros?
Popular summer dates on Paros book early, so it pays to ask now.
