Peloponnese
Elsa Theochari photographs weddings in Kalamata, where she is based. The Messinian Gulf, the waterfront, and the olive groves around the city are the usual settings. A wedding here can use the sea and the hills on the same day, and the studio covers the celebration from preparation through the party.
Kalamata gives a wedding the Messinian Gulf in the evening and olive groves in the hills. Elsa Theochari knows these places because she lives and works here. The city is less crowded than the famous islands, and a couple can still have sea and mountain in one day.
Golden hour light over the Messinian Gulf creates dreamy, warm-toned images
Ancient olive groves provide timeless, organic backdrops
Mix of seaside elegance and mountain drama in one location
Less crowded than island destinations with equal beauty
Elsa Theochari photographs weddings at venues around Kalamata, including Costa Navarino, Ktima Laas, and the Filoxenia Hotel. She has worked with the light on this coast, so the venue list below is places the studio already knows. A couple can also ask about a venue that is not on the list.
Elsa Theochari photographs weddings in Kalamata from April through October. She finds May, June, and September especially workable, because the light is warm and the days are not at the height of summer heat. The line below states that season in short form.
April to October, with May-June and September being ideal
