One second ahead

Sotiris is an artist, a seer, a story creator, an expresser, a capturer of moments one second before they happen. He is a chameleon with a heart bigger than his body and a camera sharper than his moves.

As founder of Ascot & Veil - a photography studio for bespoke Destination Weddings -, Sotiris offers a smooth and authentic photographic experience since 2002, and delivers the story of the couple`s wedding day with style, beauty, elegance, and simplicity.
