Destination Wedding Santorini

Destination wedding Santorini

Greece is the land of mythology, Mount Olympus and the Gods.
Oana and Andrei start their marriage by appearing as such in these beautifully orchestrated wedding pictures.  We designed a high art, magazine-worthy album for Oana and Andrei’s Santorini, Greece, nuptials.  Through our collaboration with this ecstatic couple, we depicted what the Gods and Goddesses may have looked like way back when.  The results are exquisite.

Our wedding photography sessions started at Ikastikies then we moved to the Hotel Galini and Belvedere Suites in the Grecian village of Firostefani.  The Hotel Galini overlooks the stunning caldera left behind by a past volcanic eruption.  Oana and Andrei’s twosome, destination wedding affords us the luxury to use our surroundings to the newlyweds’ fullest advantage.  We have time and solitude to concentrate upon distance shots, versatile angles and sunset lighting.  We maximize the natural backdrop of the pristine Aegean Sea, limitless horizon and miles of immaculate sands.  Santorini’s powerful sun and unobstructed sky capture every bit of detail in this heavenly world: from the durable toughness in a black stone stairway, to the exotic sea’s expanse, to the finely minute grains of the village’s masonry.
Another stops in our photography trip were at Monolithos beach then Acrotiri.

In this photo shoot, architectural shape and landscape form prove just as essential to the final images as nature’s most vibrant colors.  Notice how Karen’s robust, cathedral-worthy wedding skirt appears to animate the curvaceous hills and sloped cliffs around her.  The gown casts ethereal shadows around the bride as she reclines on a rustic bench, careens through hidden crevices and looks down from pure white stairs with a semblance of heaven above her.  Andrei dressed down, to leave Oana as the true star of the show.

This wedding album displays elegant photojournalism with a fashionable narrative.  It was an opulent, peaceful event for Oana and Andrei.  They could not have chosen a more divine location to document their new lives together.  We wish them the sun, moon and stars in their journey beyond Santorini.

Let’s not forget the person who did a great work on make-up and hair: Sophia Blanou and also our great host at Ikastikies.
