Untouched Magic & Mythological Romance
Cinematic, editorial wedding photography capturing the raw cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and Venetian charm of Aphrodite's birthplace.
A Secret Island Paradise
Suspended between the Peloponnese and Crete, Kythira is a rugged, mystical island completely untouched by mass tourism. According to myth, it is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, making it a profoundly romantic setting for a destination wedding.
Whether you're planning an intimate elopement beside the Neraida waterfalls, a secluded beach ceremony at Kaladi, or an elegant celebration near the Venetian castle of Chora, Kythira offers breathtaking backdrops. As your Kythira wedding photographer, my approach blends editorial elegance with raw documentary storytelling to capture the wild beauty of the island and your unique love story.

Kythira Wedding Photography FAQs
My Kythira wedding photography collections start at €1,500 for intimate elopements. Full-day luxury coverage begins at €4,500, and comprehensive multi-day destination events start from €6,500.
Yes, as Kythira requires a ferry or flight, standard travel and accommodation fees apply. However, for our multi-day "Destination Experience" packages, these logistics are often incorporated directly into your custom quote.
Kythira is breathtaking from late May through September. Because it is less touristy than other islands, even August remains relatively calm, though June and September offer the most comfortable temperatures.
Yes, the Neraida waterfalls in Mylopotamos are incredible. However, reaching them requires a short hike down some steps. I strongly suggest doing a "Day After" session there so we can explore without worrying about getting your dress or suit dirty on the wedding day.
Absolutely. The dramatic cliffs of Chora, the twin bays of Kapsali, and the rugged coastline are spectacular from the air. Drone cinematography is included in our Signature and Destination Experience collections.
The final number depends on the size and duration of your celebration. A standard full-day wedding typically yields between 600 and 800 fully edited, high-resolution images.
While Kythira is a hidden gem, my calendar fills up quickly with destination weddings across Greece. I highly recommend securing your date 10 to 14 months in advance.
