When you choose a location as stunning as the Greek Islands for your Big Day, you don’t need a lot of fluff. The backdrop of the Aegean Sea and the white-washed houses are enough. Just layer on the love. That’s exactly how this Bride & Groom celebrated their union. Thanks to Vasilis Kantarakis Films and Les Anagnou Photographers for documenting it all so beautifully, we get a virtual seat to their intimate I dos.

From the Bride… During our annual family ski trip in Austria we went for a forest walk in the snow next to slopes, unexpectedly he suddenly kneeled and asked me if I wanted to make him the happiest man in this world…. Of course, I said YES!
We are both in love with the Greek islands so no debate was needed to decide where we wanted to get married. We wanted to share the Greek purity and Island vibe throughout the entire wedding, from the painted invites, through the ceremony in the most beautiful authentic chapel to the gypsophilia, olive branches and small white wild button roses used for the table decoration during dinner. My mum was the best wedding planner I could ask for. She really understood my vision and helped me elicit the Mykonian blue, the island white and the essence of Greece through all of our wedding elements. Being a jewelry designer myself, I created pieces that were simple and elegant; resembling those fit for a muse. I truly felt like a Greek ethereal existence.
The Greek Orthodox ceremony was definitely the most special moment. The atmosphere created by the hymn song by the priests, the beautiful surrounding and the closest family and friends around us was too special to capture in words. For us this was the way we dreamed to give our commitment to each other to share life until the end of days.
