Your Big Fat Greek Wedding Photographer & Videographer in London
Hello, my name is Peter Lane and I’ve been tagged by many in North London as “The Greek Wedding Photographer“. Being based in Palmers Green or Palmers Greek as locals use to joke is the reason to be surrounded by many Greek friends, having their love, trust and recommendations. The aftermath shows more than 50% of our weddings to be Greek or traditional Cypriot Orthodox Greek. Do I like the Greek weddings? No! I love them!
No matter how big or small, how posh or simple your wedding is, I can promise you one thing – we’ll make it look glorious! Your album won’t be the conveyer type you’ve seen everywhere, you won’t be put in all the same cheese poses, no patterns and look-a-likes. We’ll extract the essence of the day and the best of you, then it will be multiplied and glorified so you’ll have that fashion look and a feeling of a living memento. Your album will be edited by experienced and educated designer, retouched by experienced professional retoucher and bind & assembled craftily hand made by the best in the world album masters. Only the highest quality paper, ink and materials, providing the highest album longevity on the market. Your grand children will see exactly what you see now.
We don’t charge for extra time our Greek Wedding couples because we understand and respect your expenses, usually double and triple than majority of the traditional English weddings. Your day will be covered from the grooms house stolisma up to the last song.

For those of you who’ll get married to a Greek bride or groom, let me share a bit of the Greek Wedding traditions: explained by North London Greek wedding photographer Peter Lane.
“Shaving of the groom”
The groom is dressed by his koumbaro and witnessed by family and friends. He is also shaved by the koumbaro which is known as the “last shave”. The koumbaro then proceeds to putting the grooms shirt, waistcoat and cravat on all done whilst the violin and singer play and sing music to praise the groom before his departure from his home.
“Sugar Almonds and red ribbon”
The sugar coated almonds which are placed on the tray with the crowns and which will later be offered to the guests are also symbolic. The white symbolises purity, the egg shape represents fertility and the new life which begins with marriage. The hardness of the almond represents the endurance of marriage and the sweetness of the sugar symbolises the sweetness of future life. The odd number of almonds is indivisible, just as a couple the bride and groom shall remain undivided. After the ceremony the almonds and ribbon are shared amongst the single women who apparently if the ribbon is placed under their pillow that night they will see in their dreams the man they will marry.
The first dance
This dance is performed half way through the night by the newly- weds to honour their guests. It is also a chance for their guests whilst the couple is dancing to pin money on them as a gift.
“Tossing of the bouquet and garter”
This tradition has been passed on from other cultures. At the end of the evening all single girls gather on the dance floor and the bride at a fair distance from them with her back turned to them throws her bouquet in the air at random. The girl who caches the bouquet is the next to be married. Similarly the groom ‘crawl’ under the brides skirt and detached the garter from the bride’s leg with his teeth. Once his has successfully got it between his teeth all the single men gather at a distance from the groom and with his back turned to them he throws the garter at random. The man who catches it is the next one to be married.
“Brides Shoes”
Before the bride puts on her shoes she lists all her single friend’s names under her shoe. At the end of the night she takes it off and the name which still appears on the shoe is the girl who will be married next!
“Red scarf”
Many people are not aware what the red scarf we tie around the bride and groom before they set off to church symbolises. Well for the woman it signifies her virginity and for the man his fertility. It is wrapped around the bride and groom three times by their parents and close family and friends.
