If ever there were a wedding destination that wins the award for view wow-factor, it’s got to be Santorini. That scenery simply stuns and has been the backdrop for so many fetes we’ve featured—including today’s, planned by Stella & Moscha. It’s intimate, uber romantic and if you’ve been considering this location, you might want to have a look at the full gallery from George Pahountis.

From Stella & Moscha… We are head over heels with this modern wedding full of blush details and we are so happy that we are able to re-introduce to the world the beautiful Volcan Weddings Manor in the heart of Santorini. Big bonus is Melissa and Sean, our beautiful bride and groom, who are so striking that we are certain you will not be able to stop looking at their close-ups by the, always flawless, George Pahountis.

From the Bride… For Shits and Giggles. How many stories start with that line? None that come to mind; but ours does. Our story begins in the most unusual of ways, neither one of us looking for what we would eventually find. It started off as a casual first date over wine and food and lasted hours. We talked and laughed and intrigue grew with the first kiss. Within the first 6 months of dating, we had already met each others family. That’s when the trouble began. That trouble was the kind of love that starts deep inside of one’s soul with no rhyme or reason. It led us to explore different adventures together. From our journeys near and far to our fateful trip to Hawai’i, we have one of many more adventures that will last a lifetime. With many undiscovered roads still left to explore we will begin our quest in Greece surrounded by the people we hold most dear: our family and friends. Without them we wouldn’t be who we are individually or who we are together and we are grateful for each one of you and the roles that you have played in our lives.

For our celebration, we had been looking at wedding venues in San Francisco and they were just getting too expensive and didn’t fit what I had in mind. We wanted the wedding to be a vacation for all of our family and friends and Greece was definitely on our bucket list of places to go. We decided to take a break from looking at venues because the holidays were coming up. On my way back east for the holidays, I picked up a couple of bridal magazines at the airport and flipped through an ad of a couple from what looked like the streets of Greece and I knew that’s where I wanted to get married. As soon as I landed, I called Sean and told him my idea and he said, “Let’s do it!” I told my family and friends when I arrived home and they all said of course we’ll be there. It was a truly special day with our loved ones.
