I trained as a brain scientist at Cambridge and Harvard, but photography called me back. I was seven when I first held a camera—an Olympus Trip 35 I still own.
My work is influenced by Pre-Raphaelite painting and fashion photographers like Avedon: composed, romantic, and quietly editorial—while staying true to who you are.
As a classical pianist, I approach weddings the same way I play: listening first, then responding with intention.
When I’m not photographing, I’m in Cyprus with my wife, Alexia, and our two children.
I work exclusively with ten couples a year.
I've never felt more beautiful than when he was behind the camera.

These don't look like wedding photos from 2023. They could be from any era.

Andreas saw the fashion element we were after, and the gallery blew us away.

Andreas was our secret gem, our hopeless romantic, our love story poet.

I co-founded the digital division of a multimillion marketing firm, focusing primarily on marketing green technology companies.
In parallel, I teach refugee children who escaped wartime in the Middle East. The sense of purpose inherent in AKG Photography is largely thanks to this humbling experience.

Few things in my life have had such a profound impact on me as studying in Cambridge! Being surrounded by legendary figures from the past and present... On Sunday mornings, the church bells ring... The King's College Evensongs... Punting to Grantchester! Cambridge will always have a special place in my heart.

My wife, Alexia (who was an ACCA auditor up to this point) switches her career to photography and creates what is today one of the largest family photography studios in Cyprus. Participating in the photography process with her inspired me to pursue photography as a career just a few years after her.
... I launched my first high-tech startup which was quickly bought by an international company. I stayed with the company and got to learn from some of the best marketers, entrepreneurs and creatives, including my mentor Allen LeWinter, one of the producers of the sensational franchise "Barney the Dinosaur".
One of the highlights of my high-tech career was leading the design concept of a prototype phone for Nokia
It's a girl!

Within just five years, the AKG brand has rapidly ascended to prominence in the wedding industry, earning widespread recognition as a leading photographer in Europe. Esteemed by peers and couples alike and acclaimed by publications, the brand's hallmark is its unwavering commitment to impeccable service and a visionary meaning-driven and personal approach.
2023
The AKG brand is deeply engaged in the realm of global photography education. I had the privilege of addressing global audiences at more than five international speaker engagements in 2021, followed by tens more in the years after that. My educational efforts allow me to share my perspective on how wedding photography can transcend mere documentation and become a profoundly artistic medium with powerful communicative potential.

Now
Two decades into my adulthood journey, photography has infused profound meaning into my life. Gratitude abounds for the remarkable couples, my students, and all the fellow creatives who have made this journey extraordinary.
THANK YOU!
Will you will join me in the adventure?
Alexia Themistocleous grew up in Johannesburg and lived in London, where she worked in finance before photography.
Her work is deeply personal, revealing character and spirit in ways most photographers miss. She has an uncommon ability to put people at ease.
She owned and ran one of the largest family photography studios in Greece and Cyprus for a decade before joining AKG full-time.
Your ability to capture the essence of each moment, the candid emotions, and the beauty of the surroundings is truly remarkable. Every image tells a story, and we feel like we are reliving the joy and love of our wedding day through your lens. We’ve had numerous compliments from our friends and family about the photos, and many have specifically mentioned how comfortable and at ease they felt in front of your camera. Your professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire photography process a pleasure for everyone involved. We are truly grateful for your talent, dedication, and the wonderful energy you brought to our celebration.

Andreas is a true artist and immense talent. We couldn’t imagine having anyone else alongside us on our wedding day. His photographs are truly art and speak for themselves, but what really impressed us was his character. He is the kindest, most genuine, brilliant but humble person, and how much he cares about his clients is evident from the very first email. He always made us feel like we were the only clients he had, and he was invested and enthusiastic about getting to know us. We felt fully comfortable in trusting him to execute our vision. He delivered a gallery that is more breathtaking than we could have imagined, and we will cherish the images forever.
We recommend him a million times over!

“Amazing, wonderful, magnificent!”
Those are just a few words to describe Andreas and his wonderful wife Alexia, who provided us with such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and guided us every step of the way. From the beginning, we felt they really made an effort to get to know us as a couple and what feel our destination wedding would have. Andreas’ portfolio speaks for itself, but trust me he will make every couple feel unique and he will go the extra mile to get to know you and make you feel special. Don’t book your wedding date until you have booked Andreas – you need him for your wedding!
