Santorini bridal photography. Wedding photography portfolio of a wedding day at Santorini island in Greece. As a Greek wedding and event photographer one of the places that I photograph at is of course Santorini.
Santorini is always considered to be as one of the top destinations worldwide for wedding photography, engagement photography, anniversary photography and wedding portraits photo session!
Several of the following wedding images have been awarded, published and distinct-ed.
The story
Cats and blue color are two symbolic elements of Santorini and Greece, Liam from the other hand is not!
Liam is an English name and so is Cat and Blue!!
Cat got married to Liam at Santorini, in the company of their dear friends and families and of course their son… Blue!
That was a small, simple but exceptionally lovely wedding!
I was their wedding photographer (obviously 🙂 and Cat made me the honor to cancel the photographer they had already booked after having a look at my wedding photography portfolio at my website.
That is flattering I guess…
That was a half day (4 hours) wedding photography service booking so we did not have much time for “wedding portraits” photo session but finally we managed to get a few very good images for the limited time we had availiable!
Wedding took place at the marvelous premises of Cavo Tagoo hotel Santorini, which is situated next to another exceptional place for weddings at Santorini, Le Ciel
These were the wedding photography results of this small wedding at Santorini….

Information about Santorini
The island
Santorini (Greek: Σαντορίνη, pronounced [sandoˈrini]), classically Thera (English pronunciation /ˈθɪərə/), and officially Thira (Greek: Θήρα [ˈθira]), is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece’s mainland. It is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago, which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2(28 sq mi) and a 2011 census population of 15,550. The municipality of Santorini includes the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi, and Christiana. The total land area is 90.623 km2 (34.990 sq mi). Santorini is part of the Thira regional unit.

Volcano
Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera. A giant central, rectangular lagoon, which measures about 12 by 7 km (7.5 by 4.3 mi), is surrounded by 300 m (980 ft) high, steep cliffs on three sides.The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia; the lagoon is connected to the sea in two places, in the northwest and southwest. The depth of the caldera, at 400m, makes it impossible for any but the largest ships to anchor anywhere in the protected bay; there is also a fisherman’s harbour at Vlychada, on the southwestern coast. The island’s principal port is Athinios. The capital, Fira, clings to the top of the cliff looking down on the lagoon. The volcanic rocks present from the prior eruptions feature olivine, and have a small presence of hornblende.
It is the most active volcanic centre in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, though what remains today is chiefly a water-filled caldera. The volcanic arc is approximately 500 km (310 mi) long and 20 to 40 km (12 to 25 mi) wide. The region first became volcanically active around 3–4 million years ago, though volcanism on Thera began around 2 million years ago with the extrusion of dacitic lavas from vents around the Akrotiri.

Eruptions and Atlantis
The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilizatio The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep. This may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, 110 km (68 mi) to the south, through a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis.
