DIY ELOPEMENT

It can be described as a DIY elopement! They booked me as their photographer and I helped them with the selection of a make up artist, hair stylist and the wedding bouquet and boutonniere.  Tips regarding their staying in Santorini and places to visit were also provided!

EXCHANGE OF VOWS – DIY ELOPEMENT IN SANTORINI

The selection of this amazing, jaw dropping view spot rewarded us! Santorini geography and the mixture of volcanic soil with crystal clear waters can be found there. A beautiful moment was the landslide while exchanging the vows!

That was a sentimental exchange of vows ceremony!

The Santorini elopement was complete with the last sunset sun beams!!

Caldera is perhaps the most popular spot in Santorini and travelers from all over the world enjoy staying there. In fact, it is one of the most beautiful natural sights in the world. This 300-meter high basin was created after a fierce volcanic eruption that occurred in 1613 BC.
