Where the story began…
After university, I was working in digital media back for an international airline - although it was a great first job, I didn’t enjoy the monotony of an office and desired to pursue something more creative.
So, in 2014, I decided to take the freelance plunge and explore my passion for photography. I started my online travel and lifestyle blog and began offering my photography services to some of the most highly respected brands in the fashion and travel industry including The Savoy, Lastminute.com, Harrods, amongst many others! This work allowed me to travel across the globe and visit some of the prettiest and most colourful corners of the world!
Then one day back at Christmas 2017, I was going through all of my favourite travel photos, thinking what a shame it was to have all these amazing colourful photographs gathered throughout my time working just sitting on my hard-drive.
I thought how lovely it would be if they could instead be printed, sprinkling joy and colour into people’s homes.
That’s when the Victoria’s Stories Print Shop was born!
I soon realised I didn’t just want to sell pretty pictures. I wanted to recreate that feeling I used to have gazing at beautiful photographs, wishing I could be in a place and let all of you lovely people experience those colourful destinations right from your home!
A few of my favourite things:
1
Barre & pilates
Fun fact! Growing up I completed certificates in ballet, tap, jazz, modern and hip-hop! These days I’m a big barre and pilates fan.
2
Vino
I recently embarked upon my Level 2 wine certification - one of the reasons I love wine (other than the taste of course!) is how intertwined it is within cultures, languages and countries.

Upcycling old furniture and interiors
I’m currently renovating our home we moved into last summer. You can follow along to my reno adventures on Instagram at @victoriaMetaxas!
