This English/Greek language factor, associated with choosing the people who will be capturing your photographs and video,  may not seem too important while you are in the stages of planning your wedding in Zante, from your home base in the UK – especially while you are communicating with an English speaking wedding planner. However on your wedding day, realistically, the events of your wedding in Zante will unfold very quickly.  Obviously spontaneous footage of your wedding day will be captured on photos and video with no need for any interference or communication with your photographer or videographer, who work quietly in the background.

However during certain portions of your wedding day specific direction is essential – at this point you definitely need to understand what is  being asked of you to get the best photographs without confusion. For example you don’t want to be asked to pick up your train – when the photographer really want you to pick up your veil!!!
