Kostas is an award-winning destination wedding videographer behind Cinema of Poetry, creating refined, story-driven films across Greece, Italy, Europe, and beyond, with an approach rooted in observation, emotion, and atmosphere.
Cinema of Poetry is the destination wedding filmmaking studio of Kostas Petsas, creating refined, story-driven wedding films across Greece, Italy, Europe, and selected international destinations. Rooted in observation, authenticity, and emotional nuance, the work is shaped around the story of each couple rather than a fixed formula or a purely chronological recap of the day.
With a calm and discreet presence, Kostas approaches each celebration with sensitivity to atmosphere, human connection, and the character of the place itself. The result is a body of work that feels cinematic without becoming performative, preserving not only how a wedding looked, but how it was lived. Each film is crafted with intention, allowing real moments, movement, and emotional rhythm to guide the narrative naturally.
Known for a refined visual language and a deeply personal approach to storytelling, Cinema of Poetry is especially drawn to destination weddings that value meaning, beauty, and experience in equal measure.
They are the best ever! I thoroughly recommend them for any special occasion! Very talented and very professional! Me kleista ta matia. What makes them special is the emotional involvement in every project.

We would recommend them without hesitation
We booked Arte Cinematica for our wedding and our daughter's christening in Syros on September 2017. From the first meeting we realised that they understood the concept of our celebratory weekend completely and we chose them with no hesitation. Both Aris and Kostas are nice people to work with, they managed to take amazing photos and videos without us even realizing their presence during the ceremonies and the parties. They even went over the top, and they shot the pre-party although this was not part of our original deal. We would recommend them without hesitation

Amazing Photos!
Kostas, Aris, We wanted to send you a little message to thank you so much for all the work you both did at our wedding. The photos are absolutely amazing. It is truly wonderful how you managed to capture the complete feeling of the entire weekend, from the beach party the day before, to the island atmosphere, the beauty of the wedding day, and of course the energy of the wedding party. We truly enjoyed working with you both, and can honestly say again that working with you was fantastic. It was really like you fit in as part of the family and I am sure this is what allows you both to create a photo with feeling. All of our guests congratulated us many times on how impressed they were with your style and how you approached the day and this was truly great for us to hear from them. We are so happy we selected Arte Cinematica and wouldn’t have changed a thing. Can’t wait to see you again in the future for some more photos. A HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
