About / Story

I'm Tim — originally from a small town near Görlitz, on the German-Polish border. As a wedding photographer, I tell stories and travel the world for them. But for you, I'm happy to come to Santorini to tell yours.

Santorini, a jewel of the Aegean Sea, is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets, whitewashed villages clinging to cliffs, and dramatic volcanic landscapes. This Cycladic island offers an unparalleled romantic backdrop for couples seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience. Imagine exchanging vows against the backdrop of the caldera, with the azure waters stretching out to the horizon, as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange, pink, and purple. The island's unique beauty and serene atmosphere create an intimate and magical setting for your special day.

Beyond the stunning scenery, Santorini boasts a rich history and culture, adding depth and character to your wedding celebration. From ancient ruins to charming local tavernas, the island offers a wealth of experiences for you and your guests to enjoy. Whether you envision a grand, lavish affair or an intimate, bohemian gathering, Santorini provides the perfect canvas to create the wedding of your dreams. The island's natural beauty, combined with its luxurious accommodations and world-class service, ensures an unforgettable experience for all.
