These photos mean more to us than we can say! To have this little moment in Greece with our baby and dog so beautifully captured is something we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

We had such a wonderful time with Silia. She made the whole experience feel so natural and special, and her passion for capturing special moments shows so much her beautiful work. I already know we’ll look back at these years from now and be brought right back to exactly how this season of our lives felt.

Her patience with our little one and our pup, her flexibility in moving our photos back a day after I got sick on our originally scheduled date, and of course, her amazing work made the entire experience so wonderful. She has such a fun, warm, and friendly personality that made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. You can truly see how much she loves what she does, and that passion comes through in her work. We had such a great time with her and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! We hope that the next time we’re in Greece she’ll be able to capture our family again! ❤️

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Silia! From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful, not only with the photography but also with organizing my surprise proposal. Her communication was always quick, friendly, and easygoing, which made the whole process completely stress-free.

On the day of the proposal, everything went perfectly. She captured the moment beautifully, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.

Everything was smooth, fast, and uncomplicated from start to finish. If you're looking for a talented photographer who truly cares and goes the extra mile, I can wholeheartedly recommend Silia!

Choosing Silia as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made.

She photographed our wedding over two days, covering our church ceremony, pre wedding photoshoot, and wedding reception, and she did an absolutely incredible job. From our very first conversation, she took the time to truly understand our vision, style, and the feeling we wanted our photos to capture. It never felt like someone was simply taking pictures. It felt like she was creating our story.

Working with her was effortless. My husband isn't naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Silia immediately made him feel at ease. Nothing felt forced or overly posed. She has a calm, natural presence that blends seamlessly into the environment, so neither we nor our guests ever felt like a camera was constantly in our faces. She captured authentic moments without interrupting them.

One thing that really impressed us was how quickly we received our photos. Unlike many large photography agencies where you wait for months, Silia delivered beautiful images much sooner than we expected. And the quality exceeded every expectation.

She also remained incredibly helpful after the wedding, happily making small edits when requested and offering thoughtful advice on designing our wedding album.

Most importantly, we absolutely love our photos. Every time we look at them, we relive those moments all over again.

If you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, kind, and genuinely invested in telling your story, I couldn't recommend Silia more highly. Thank you for giving us memories we'll treasure for a lifetime.

My husband and I travelled to Vienna as a part of our 10 year wedding anniversary and booked Silia for a 1 hour photoshoot. She also created a small video for us as well!  She took us to multiple locations around inner city. The photos and video turned out beautifully and we loved the experience!
