“On YOUR wedding day you are enchanted! With the magic wand, literally! Everything flows in a dizzying speed.
And in the next days everything becomes sea…and you are dizzy!
And you go out for a walk holding Zoe’s photos…
To be honest, I had never imagined that a third person, a stranger up to that point, would embrace such a personal moment with such sensitivity.
Zoe, having to her credit a photographic work of amazing personal style, devoted time and attention to our photo shooting from the very first moment. She thought about it and prepared it. There was nothing to give the impression of a canned wedding shoot, every detail felt really fresh and…tasty! That day (or rather, days) she was discreetly by our side and she was taking pictures, which were full of sweetness, uniqueness, creativity. Her eye was everywhere, close to us, to our family and the guests. She shot really beautiful candids of life.
We remember our wedding day as a unique day for us and our dear persons, a day full of laughter, sweet feelings and beautiful colors. Zoe’s photographs guide us. And we do thank her for that from the bottom of our hearts”.
Joe, Ioanna.

“When Zoe was taking our photographs, it felt as if she was not there; so discreet was her presence – no poses, no directions – just sweet advices that convinced you immediately. When we saw the photographs we confirmed what we suspected from the moment we first met her; she was everywhere and most of all she felt our feelings. Zoe’s photographs are not just a simple take of a special occasion but they speak to you with the most beautiful way about all these – which are so precious to us – that happened and gone.
She, herself, is – and at this point I will use Harry’s words – friendly, calm, discreet, polite, experienced, professional both before and after…and I will add that she is always Zoe Gambieraki both before and after…”
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

“Every time we look at our wedding album with the photographs that Zoe took, we feel as moved and happy as we felt that day. Everything is there. Her discreet presence behind the camera, her aesthetics and sensitivity played a really important role on that day. Especially the dialogue between Zoe and the bride creates a charming game that sets both sides free and awakens the most sweet, spontaneous and real elements you have within you. Zoe, through the clarity of her photographs and the accurate estimate of time and space, creates photographs that inspire respect. It is certain that our black-and-white portraits – which are something far more that simple portraits – will be the most valuable thing we will be able to show to our children.”
Thank you Zoe,
Dimitris and Dimitra

“We chose Zoe as our wedding photographer, because we saw in her a real passion and love for her work. For Zoe each couple is a unique couple; she sees us as protagonists of a great cinematic love story…our story. We really feel this way, when we look at our wedding photographs. We were so lucky that we found her! And this is very important now, that our wedding became a piece of the past and we are seeking to relive it through these photographs. It is a blessing to have a good photographer, a photographer capable and determined to capture the real moment or better to sense it… And Zoe really understands this responsibility but above all, I believe that she has the manifold talent to detect and capture these images, while at the same time she encourages you with her presence to give the best of you. And of course she is very caring with everything she does…Her valuable help in the bridal make-up and the general appearance of the bride, the thank-you cards for our guests and the album she made for us are also unique. We do thank her and we highly recommend her to anyone. Zoe, be always well and creative!”

“We would like to say that every time we open the box with the photographs, which you took of our wedding, happiness springs out of it! It is certain that you will be taking photographs of us…of our family, of our children, for many years to come.”

“…Everyone agreed…these are the best wedding photographs we have ever seen. They are so much better than any of our friends’ wedding photographs!”
Sophia, Andreas.

“…thank you for being there!... Through your photographs we will have the chance to feel everything, the colors, the essence of the day, the love of our family…over and over again.”

“Your work is a living proof that wedding photography may become a work of art. In our bedroom we have the photograph you took the moment we kissed outside the church, when I arrived. In difficult times it is there to give us strength and courage, to bring before our eyes the deepest feeling that keeps us together. Who would have thought that a photograph could be so important…”
Virginia, Filippos.

“Thank you for your great work, for your consistency, for your professionalism, for everything. Your photographs are simply compelling… We want them all! We cannot choose!”

“Congratulations Zoe!”
The portraits are amazing and what is most fascinating is this theatrical atmosphere in the photographs, especially during the preparations. And they all are so “alive”!”

“Almost a year has passed but we still feel the need to tell you a huge thank you for everything you have done for us, by giving life with your photographs to the most beautiful day of our lives. We look at our photographs very often, experiencing once again the hours of sweet anticipation and the celebration that followed. We know very well that without you and your incredible eye, these photographs would not be so vivid, so magnificent, so unique! We wish you the best for you and your family. With boundless appreciation,
Olga, Dimitris.

“Επιλέξαμε τη Ζωή για φωτογράφο του γάμου μας και μείναμε …κατενθουσιασμένοι όταν είδαμε το αποτέλεσμα!
Ήταν εξαρχής θετική, ζεστή, και από το χαμόγελο της αισθανόμασταν σίγουροι για την επιλογή μας.
Ήταν εκεί , διακριτική στις ξεχωριστές αυτές στιγμές που ζήσαμε και τις αποτύπωσε με έναν μοναδικό τρόπο μέσα από το φακό της.
Μας άκουσε υπομονετικά, στάθηκε δίπλα μας και φωτογράφησε την ευτυχία μας … σε όλο της το μεγαλείο!
Μας έφερε τις φωτογραφίες μας πολύ γρήγορα - σε αντίθεση με τους ρυθμούς που κινείται η αγορά – και γεμίσαμε χαρά!
Είδαμε πράγματα που μέσα στη ζάλη μας δεν είχαμε καν αντιληφθεί.
Η Ζωή όμως τα είδε όλα και φρόντισε να τα δούμε κι εμείς μέσα από τη δική της ματιά!
Η Ζωή όμως τα είδε όλα και φρόντισε να τα δούμε κι εμείς μέσα από τη δική της ματιά!
Την προτείνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα γιατί είναι επαγγελματίας , αλλά πάνω από όλα είναι άνθρωπος, μια φίλη που έζησε τη χαρά μας.
Για μας ήτανε ο άνθρωπός μας , γιατί μας βοήθησε με τις συμβουλές της και τις γνωριμίες της και σε θέματα πέραν της φωτογράφησης.
Ζωή σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ!”

¨Η Ζωή είναι καλλιτέχνης.
Παίρνει μια τόση δα στιγμή και την κάνει όνειρο. Το δικό σου όνειρο.
Του δίνει ζωή, χρώμα, άρωμα, συναίσθημα, παρελθόν και παρόν.
Κάθε φωτογραφία και μια μικρή ιστορία.
Μια ματιά, ένα χαμόγελο.
Ένα πρόσωπο, μια έκφραση, ένα πυροτέχνημα στο χρόνο.
Εκείνο το λακάκι που δεν πρόλαβες ίσωσ να δείς τη στιγμή που γέμιζε ευτυχία.
Την αγκαλιά του φίλου που μεγαλώσατε μαζί.
Του συμμαθητή, τόσα χρόνια στο ίδιο θρανίο.
Της μαμάς, άχ αυτή η αιώνια μαμά(!) να δακρύζει από χαρά. Τη δική σου χαρά.
Το χορό του παππού, τον ένα και μοναδικό του, μόνο για σένα.
Το χέρι ενός μικρού παιδιού που αρπάζει το γλυκό μέσα από το πιάτο.
Και όλα αυτά σέ ένα νησί. Σε μια μαγιάτικη αγκαλιά γεμάτη φως.
