Capturing Emotional Weddings at Aresti Restaurant, Akrotiri

There is a serene elegance to the area of Akrotiri, just a short distance from Zakynthos Town. Aresti Restaurant offers a refined, intimate wedding experience that is simply unparalleled. It’s a location that understands that the atmosphere of a wedding is just as important as the views. For us, as wedding photographers, Aresti provides the perfect canvas for capturing genuine human connection and quiet, emotional moments.

Our approach centres on photojournalism and a pursuit of authenticity. We believe the most powerful images stem from real interactions, not choreographed poses. Aresti’s unique setting—featuring sophisticated architecture and views over the Ionian Sea—helps create a relaxed, beautiful environment where these real emotions naturally shine.

What makes Aresti such a magnificent location for a wedding, and consequently, for our photography? It comes down to a few key elements that are invaluable for capturing authentic moments.

Aresti is more than just a restaurant; it’s a beautifully designed space that blends contemporary style with Greek charm. The setting offers an elevated position with captivating views of the sea and the surrounding landscape, allowing us to use the environment to create depth and context in our images. The natural light during the day, and the carefully placed, charming evening lighting, create a magical ambience we love to document.

Located in Akrotiri, Aresti is just a short drive from Zakynthos Town, offering guests convenience without sacrificing a sense of seclusion and peace. This exclusive atmosphere fosters true intimacy among guests. The private, serene environment encourages everyone—from the couple to their loved ones—to fully relax and engage with one another. This relaxed candour is essential for our documentary style, allowing us to capture those unguarded, emotional shots that tell the true story of the day.

A great celebration requires exceptional hospitality. Aresti is renowned for its outstanding, gourmet Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, which adds a layer of sensory richness to the event. A well-fed and happy wedding party is a relaxed one, and the attentive staff ensures everything runs seamlessly. This lack of logistical stress translates directly into happier, more relaxed people in front of our cameras, leading to better, more emotive photography.

The venue offers a variety of beautiful backdrops. The elegant dining areas, terraces, and the charming on-site stone-built church are ideal for ceremonies and portraits. We can capture sophisticated shots overlooking the sea, utilising the architecture and lighting to create a diverse and stunning portfolio of images throughout the day, from the ceremony right through to the evening celebration.

We are proud to have captured many beautiful stories at Aresti Restaurant. The elegant location, combined with the heartfelt emotions of the couples, makes for truly powerful images. We invite you to explore our dedicated portfolio of weddings photographed at this remarkable Zante venue here.
