about

MEET GEORGE KOSSIERIS

Love so complete and so emphatic, sometimes as cinematic as an airport run and others as simple as pouring out in laughs and tears, or sharing breakfast on a weekday. These have been my first and steady reasons for wishing to jump on the wedding photography train.

My photojournalistic experience brought me to capture real life stories through which I began to notice how beautiful people are at their most organic, most intimate moments. Several years in fashion photography taught me everything about the importance of capturing elegant details that add the special punch to a story, creating the perfect backdrop and mood for a narrative to flourish. And when these two combined in hundreds of weddings across Greece and the U.S. the time was right.

Having spent 18 years traveling the globe to document weddings the essence of my work still remains the same: to encapsulate everything that makes my couples’ hearts aflutter and to make sure they enjoy their finest moments unbridled, free, in absolute style and above all certain they have trusted their images in capable hands.

Are you ready to create your memories together?

I won’t shy away from grand and cultivated wedding events filled with exuberant buzz and constant movement, but I also love intimate weddings, island paradise escapes, vineyard affairs and sizzling city elopements. Be it the magic of the Greek Islands, the honeypot resorts of Italy or the velvet vibes of U.S. destination weddings -you will find me at least twice a year shooting in Chicago and Los Angeles California – there is no place I will not follow my brides and grooms to create immaculate wedding images that not only tell the story of their day, but of everyone around them.

I love families and their dynamics so even when the camera is not in my hand photographing happy brides and grooms, proud mothers and fathers, graceful oldies and even family pet ring-bearers at their best , you will find me taking my daughter snowboarding, reading stories to my son, or spending time at home with friends and dear ones, enjoying a good glass of vino over Netflix, and devising practical jokes on literally everyone around!

Εvery season there is at least one more incredible wedding destination to fuel my couples’ dreams and set their wedding celebration plans for some out-of-the-grid adventures! This year I will be shooting weddings in Mexico, Slovenia, California and Illinois, Tuscany, Venice, Florence, Mykonos, Santorini, Sifnos, The Peloponnese, Crete, and many more.

I hope I get to meet you somewhere along the way and make magic together with you and your dear ones! Even if your wedding plans are for the coming season get in touch with me for an update on my travel agenda and perhaps we can meet along the way and make some magic together.

your special day

A day in the wedding with George Kossieris

I always aim to have a collaborative approach with my clients, so I make sure I arrive a day prior to their event and brush up on their celebrations’ final details, capture their welcome parties and enjoy some time with them easing their steps into their big day.

As I understand the value of the fleeting moment, I focus on capturing the ones that stand out tall, but also the silent beautiful ones where your unique style and your quiet glances get to shine. I love it when I get to witness a bear hug, a belly laugh, a calm glance or a non-rehearsed dance move, but there is so much poetry in a bride’s hem, her fluttering veil, and a groom’s cuffs buttoned or the box of cigars he’s prepared for his lads.

As there is calm and there is blissful frenzy, my promise is to bottle it up entirely along with all the faces, the non-poses, and the wild dances your party is all about and give you images that will shed light into your hearts for years to come.
