The People's Photographer
I'm Evagoras Mandrides, and I've been photographing weddings from my studio in Enfield since 2004. I'm Greek Cypriot and I speak Greek, and I've now photographed more than 600 weddings, including at Essex venues such as Hylands House, Boreham House, Orsett Hall and Stock Brook Country Club.
I specialise in Greek Cypriot and Greek Orthodox weddings, from the stolisma to the last dance. Flash is almost always allowed in Greek Orthodox churches, so I can photograph the whole service. I know most of the Greek Orthodox priests in and around London, and if I haven't met yours, I introduce myself before the service.
I arrive about 30 minutes before the service for family photos, photograph the whole service, then take about 30 minutes of portraits at the church and about 30 minutes at your venue. If you'd like me to stay on, extra coverage (2 to 5 hours) can include the meal, the speeches, the cake cutting and the dancing.
Closest to my studio are Waltham Abbey, Epping, Loughton, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell, then Harlow. I also cover Brentwood, Chelmsford, Billericay and Basildon, and further north, Saffron Walden, Great Dunmow, Braintree and Colchester. To the east, I cover Maldon, Southend-on-Sea and the coast.
Churches and venues across Essex where I've photographed weddings and christenings:
I haven't photographed at these yet, but I'd be glad to, and I'll visit with you beforehand if you'd like.
If yours isn't here, just ask.

Check your date, get your quote and fill in the booking form. Your date is secured once the booking fee is paid, and if you need time to decide, I'll hold the date for 2 weeks.
Tell me your date and where you're getting married, then see your price as you choose your options. No obligation, and nothing is booked until you say so.
