I’m beyond excited to share this gorgeous destination wedding on the coast of Greece!
Honestly i’m not sure where to start with this post, there are so many things I loved about this wedding. Not surprisingly it was hard to narrow down my favorite images, so this is kind of a long post!
Sharon and Achilleas got married in the cutest little seaside village called Maronia in northern Greece. Achilleas and his family have their summer home here and own an olive tree farm. We started the day off getting ready at two beautifully decorated historic homes situated in the town square among narrow alleyways covered in colourful flowers and grapevines. Basically everywhere we turned there was some photogenic little detail.
Sharon and Achilleas, and their families, were also so sweet and welcoming that we almost immediately felt like invited guests at their wedding.
Since the temperature gets incredibly hot in the afternoon, the day was split into two portions with a Chinese tea ceremony in the morning and then the main ceremony started just a few hours before sunset. Evenings in Greece have the most amazing glowy, soft light which was perfect for photos, just check out these bride and groom portraits after the ceremony! Sharon and Achilleas got married on a hillside at his parent’s olive tree farm overlooking the Aegean Sea.
The romantic outdoor reception was definitely one of my favourite parts of this wedding!
They took a risk by not even having a tent option which definitely paid off! I feel like there’s something so magical about having an entire wedding outside that just isn’t the same with tent receptions. The night ended with lots of dancing, and a fun surprise visit by some local musicians from the village. Greeks definitely know how to have fun!
