Kapetanakis Studios is run by the Kapetanakis brothers, a family team deeply rooted in Santorini’s beauty and culture. From the caldera’s volcano-views to the wind-tossed bougainvillea, their surroundings have shaped not just their visuals but their heart.
They reflect: “We are the Kapetanakis brothers, a family team based in Santorini, dedicated to the art of luxury wedding photography and videography.” That family bond isn’t just a label—it’s the core of how they work, with trust, consistency, and shared passion guiding every image and every motion picture they produce.
For 17 years, Kapetanakis Studios has focused solely on weddings. What began with a simple love of photography has evolved into a refined artistry: capturing light and laughter, emotion and silence, the grand and the intimate.
They say their hallmark is “consistency, refined aesthetics, and authenticity in every wedding, crafting experiences that exceed the expectations of even the most discerning clients.”
When asked what distinguishes their style, they don’t pull from trends. The answer is simple and resonant: “Timeless Elegance.”
Every image they make is measured by how well it endures—not just in fashion or filtering, but emotionally. It’s about creating visuals that feel fresh, alive, and beautiful years from now.
To bring their vision to life, the brothers rely on a curated set of gear:
Photography: Canon cameras
Videography: Sony cameras
These choices aren’t accidental—they support both high fidelity and a cinematic feel, giving them the flexibility and quality they need for both stills and motion.
Post-production is where feel becomes form. But for Kapetanakis Studios, heavy editing is never the goal. They prefer subtlety, mood, and preserving what was in front of them.
Our post-processing focuses on creating a timeless, natural look while bringing out the best in each image. After carefully selecting the final photographs, we adjust exposure, color balance, contrast, and sharpness, and apply gentle skin retouching if needed.
“We also fine tune highlights and shadows to enhance mood and depth, always making sure the images remain true to the moment and location.”
These touches give their final work a glow—not just of light, but of memory.
More than cameras or techniques, Kapetanakis Studios is driven by emotion. What they love most is those unscripted few seconds when everything is genuine:
“What we enjoy most is being able to capture genuine emotions and preserve moments that might otherwise fade with time. Wedding photography lets us tell a story, so that people can relive those feelings for years to come.”
The creative side—the vision, the art—is deeply rewarding. But so is meeting people, hearing their stories, seeing them trust the process.
We love the mix of creativity and human connection. Meeting different people, understanding their vision, and turning it into lasting memories is truly rewarding.
No two weddings are the same, and Kapetanakis Studios honors that. From intimate elopements to luxury destination affairs, they offer customizable packages.
“Yes sure.” — when asked whether they can work with couples to create a custom package that meets their specific needs.
This flexibility extends beyond price or format; it’s about adapting their style and approach to the location, season, and the couple’s individual story.
Over 17 years, they’ve learned what helps make a wedding shoot go smoothly—and look beautiful. Here’s what they advise:
Plan ahead but stay flexible.
Choose outfits you love and that let you move comfortably.
Timing & light: Early morning or late afternoon often give the best natural light.
Personal touches: Bring any meaningful items or props that tell your story.
Relax & trust the process: The best photos happen when you enjoy the moment and forget the camera.
They add: “We are always happy to share more specific advice based on their location, season, or style once we finalize the details.”
Yes, Kapetanakis Studios does destination weddings—and they have favorites.
Yes we do destination weddings.” Their favorite destinations? “Our favorite destination is in Italy & Morocco.
These places inspire—not just for their landscapes, but for their colors, textures, light, culture—and for the way weddings there feel like stories unfolding in novels.
Kapetanakis Studios doesn’t just photograph weddings—they preserve love stories, craft legacies, and deliver work that stands the test of time. From Santorini’s shorelines to far-away landscapes, their aim is clear: to exceed expectations and freeze moments in elegance, truth, and beauty.
