I guess I would say I\u2019m all about creating new things and definitely travelling \u2013 a lot! Cyprus is my home, I moved to New York for 3 years and I\u2019m currently living in England.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/logo.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41613\" title=\"logo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"117\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><em><strong>{w} What is Specialens.com?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Specialens.com is a new and fresh wedding photographer directory that hosts a range of skilful wedding photographers for every taste and budget. We built Specialens.com based on the single idea of making the wedding planning as fun and effortless as possible. We are not a simple listing service where each photographer has only a link back to their website. Each photographer has his own profile with wedding pictures, prices, a little bit about themselves and their contact information.<\/p>\n<p>The way it works it\u2019s pretty straight forward: Brides can sort wedding photographers based on their city and spending budget. Following the bride\u2019s criteria, all available photographers appear on the screen and brides get to view their wedding pictures, prices and packages, read a bit about themselves and finally find their contact details.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Homepage.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41614\" title=\"Homepage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Homepage.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"669\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Profile.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41615\" title=\"Profile\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Profile.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"508\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/About.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41616\" title=\"About\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/About.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"575\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><em><strong>{w} How did you get into your business and into the wedding industry?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Well, Specialens.com was actually created due to a friend\u2019s need.<\/p>\n<p>During my studies in America, a friend of mine from the university was getting married in Cyprus. Her excitement was nothing like I\u2019ve ever seen before. She found the perfect dress, the church was booked by her mother back in Cyprus\u2026 Everything was going great.<\/p>\n<p>One night she informed me that it was very difficult to find her wedding photographer, as there was not a simple directory, efficient enough to properly showcase photographers work. She had to go through endless Google searches, see each one individually, write down their website, see their prices one at a time \u2013 it was a hassle.<\/p>\n<p>After months of research I realized that there was a need for a clean, easy to use and most of all a photo-centric directory to help brides find their wedding photographer easy and fun. And that\u2019s how Specialens.com was created.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><em><strong>{w} What do you love about your job?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>May I say this: there is nothing more fascinating than being in the wedding industry! If I had to choose two aspects of my job that I love the most, they would be<\/p>\n<p>1. Working and collaborating with amazing photographers that can capture time and emotions in a single click. More than any other business or field, meeting new and talented wedding photographers everyday is absolutely fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>2. There is nothing more fulfilling than receiving emails from brides thanking us for making their planning easier and their wedding day more special.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><em><strong>{w} What do you aim to achieve for newly engaged couples?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to help newly engaged couples from every corner of Great Britain, regardless of their spending budget, find the wedding photographer that suits their style and taste.
