“Photography literally means writing with light. You can write a report about a moment, or you can write a poem about that same moment. I choose to write poems.”

John Makris is an internationally acclaimed wedding photographer based in Greece, renowned for his cinematic style and timeless visual storytelling. Together with his wife, Kathreen, he photographs weddings and destination celebrations around the world, creating elegant imagery that captures genuine emotion with artistic precision.

With more than 800 international photography awards, John has been recognised multiple times among the world’s leading wedding photographers and has earned several Photographer of the Year titles in prestigious international competitions. He is also an educator, speaker, and international photography judge.
