SY & Alva elopement wedding in Santorini Greece

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. – Plato

Our beautiful Chinese bride Alva reach out to us a few weeks before their planned holidays to Greece and Italy. By traditions Chinese will have the customary wedding ceremony in the day followed by a banquet in the evening. This is a once in a life time experience which is beautiful yet a big test to the couple before their marriage becomes official. Sometimes these stressful and tedious events of planning, coordination and complex communication between families, relatives, friends and co-workers could prove way too much for any Chinese couple. It is not difficult to understand why Alva and her fiance Yan chose to do an elopement style wedding in Santorini, get married in an exotic destination, enjoy a vacation and leaves all the worries behind!

There are many gorgeous wedding locations around the world, so only one question remains – why Santorini? This lovely couple enjoys traveling and have particular interest in European history and architecture. They were fascinated by the majestic Parthenon perched on the sacred Acropolis, mesmerizing Cycladic architecture of the Aegean islands and most importantly, the allure of the most famous Santorini sunsets in the world! No wonder this unique volcanic island has to be the perfect choice for their pre-wedding honeymoon and elopement wedding.

Our wedding planning team handpicked a location by the caldera cliff side with panoramic sea view, away from the bustling island activities. Ambience of romance surrounded this gorgeous wedding venue close to Pyrgos village – the highest point on the island. The whole idea was not to have a clamorous celebration but rather intimately so the couple can have all the moments to themselves. The simple yet elegant ceremony concluded with the couple exchanging vows. It was a beautiful bright day with cooling breeze from the Aegean sea, we took this great opportunity to do some shots around this picturesque village and continue to drive along the caldera for more shots at hidden locations.
