Capturing Life's Most Precious Moments: Authentic Wedding & Portrait Photography
Heartfelt wedding and portrait photography that tells your unique story. Based in Scottsdale, available worldwide. Let’s create memories that last forever.
Photography That Feels Like You
Hi there! I’m Nektaria, a wedding and portrait photographer with one simple mission: to capture real, meaningful moments—the kind that make your heart skip when you look back at them years later.
In a world where so much feels temporary, photographs remain. They’re the keepsakes we pass down, the memories we revisit when we need to feel close to someone, or remember a day that changed everything. That’s why I don’t just take pictures—I craft visual stories full of emotion, authenticity, and the little details that matter most.
Whether it’s your wedding day, a family gathering, or a personal portrait session, my approach is the same: less posing, more feeling. Because the best moments happen when you forget the camera is there.
What I Offer: More Than Just Photos
Wedding Photography – Your Love, Your Story
Your wedding isn’t just an event—it’s the start of a new chapter. My job is to document it in a way that feels true to you.
Engagement Sessions – A relaxed way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day.
Full Wedding Coverage – From getting-ready nerves to the last dance, I’m there for all of it.
Authentic Moments – The way your partner smiles when they see you, your grandmother wiping a tear, friends laughing over a spilled drink. These are the memories you’ll treasure.
Fine Art Albums – Heirloom-quality prints and albums designed to last generations.
Portrait Photography – Celebrating Who You Are
Portraits shouldn’t feel stiff or awkward. Whether it’s a family session, maternity photos, or professional headshots, I create a relaxed, enjoyable experience so your true personality shines through.
Family Sessions – Playful, natural shots of your family’s unique bond.
Maternity & Newborn – The quiet magic of pregnancy and the first days of parenthood.
Personal Branding – Professional yet approachable images for entrepreneurs and creatives.
Event Photography – Capturing the Energy of Life’s Celebrations
From birthdays to anniversaries, corporate events to intimate gatherings, I document the joy and connection that make each occasion special.
Why Couples & Families Choose Me
A Focus on Real Emotions, Not Just Pretty Pictures
Anyone can take a technically good photo. What matters more is capturing the way a moment felt—the laughter, the quiet glances, the unscripted joy. That’s what makes an image timeless.
A Personalized Experience (Because No Two Stories Are Alike)
Before your session or wedding, we’ll talk about:
What makes your relationship or family unique
Your vision for the photos (romantic, playful, dramatic, etc.)
Locations that mean something to you (a favorite park, your home, a meaningful travel destination)
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s about your story.
Natural, Timeless Editing (No Overdone Filters)
Trends come and go, but classic beauty never fades. My editing style enhances the natural warmth and emotion of each image without looking artificial.
Guidance Every Step of the Way
Not sure what to wear? Nervous in front of the camera? I’ll help with:
Wardrobe suggestions (colors, textures, what photographs best)
Posing that feels natural (no stiff, awkward setups)
Location scouting (hidden gems in Athens or your own special spot)
What to Expect When Working Together
Before the Shoot: Planning with Care
We’ll start with a conversation (over coffee, Zoom, or email—your choice!) to discuss:
Your hopes for the photos
Location ideas
Outfit options
Any worries or questions you have
During the Session: Relaxed & Enjoyable
My sessions are low-pressure and fun. I’ll give gentle direction when needed, but mostly, I want you to focus on being together—the rest will unfold naturally.
After the Shoot: Delivering Your Memories
You’ll receive:
A sneak peek within a few days
A beautifully edited online gallery
Optional prints and albums (because photos belong on walls, not just phones)
Kind Words from Past Clients

"I’ve never felt so comfortable in front of a camera. The photos she took of my small business made my brand feel so much more personal." – Sophia, Entrepreneur
