A lovely couple had their wedding in Heraklion in an amazing wedding venue. I will always remember how colourful this ceremony was. The area was beautifully decorated with pink and green details. Their Wedding Planner was the amazing team of Eventous and the wedding Venue was Emelia Estate.

The bride arrived accompanied from her father and brother in the ceremony venue. In front of them, there were musicians who were playing traditional Cretan songs.

It was such a fantastic moment when the groom saw the bride for the first time and their families and friends were so happy!

Rice throwing is a wedding tradition in Crete. The guests of that wedding did their best for that!

After the wedding ceremony, I photographed the newly-weds in some colourful spots around the venue.

Wedding portraits in the South

I was the photographer in a wedding in the Heraklion area for two beloved persons who I have known for many years. My friends Maria and Giorgos had their portrait session in the South. That area offers many natural beauties, which are ideal for an outdoors photo-shoot some days after their wedding. In Heraklion area, one of the most famous places to visit is Votomos lake, near Zaros village. It is created at the foothill of Psiloritis mountain. It is a stunning natural environment, which offers a relaxing time and harmony to the visitor.

We arrived before the sunset and the light was soft and charming. Then we slowly walked around the lake of Votomos and we had so much fun in that small path. So many things to enjoy in that small hiking with the couple.

A FEW WORDS FROM THE BRIDE:

We met when George passed by my job. It did not take long for us to fall in love. A few years later, he made a proposal with a romantic dinner. Regarding the photographer of our wedding in Heraklion area, we are impressed by his work and his discretion while photographing. When we received our photos, we liked them all. The way Antonis photographed even the brightness and the colors are gorgeous. Every time we look at them, they make us feel like we relive those moments. Thank you very much for all my friend Antonis.
