Emily & Wide’s Wedding in Santorini

Santorini

I’m sharing this selection to help couples organize their wedding morning and plan the timing of their big day, as well as to provide visual guidance and inspiration for your own preparations.

The bride’s and groom’s mornings took place at different villas, located near one another. We allocated one hour for the groom’s shoot and two hours for the bride’s. To ensure we captured every essential moment, the bride and I created a “wish list” to align her vision with the overall timeline:

• Groom’s Morning: Detail shots, solo portraits, family photos, and a “cheers” session with the groomsmen.
• Bride’s Morning: Detail shots, portraits in wedding robes with bridesmaids, getting into the dress with her sister, first looks with her mother and bridesmaids, and final bridal portraits.

After the morning shoots, we recommend allocating 30 minutes to photograph the décor and atmosphere of your ceremony area. It is vital that both your styling and the décor setup are 100% complete before the photographer arrives at the location.

The ceremony and reception took place on the breathtaking terrace of Venetsanos Winery, offering iconic views of the caldera. For the couple’s photo shoot, we chose the traditional Greek village of Megalochori, known for its charming white-washed alleys and blue-domed churches.

Immediately following the ceremony, we headed out for the couple’s session, leaving the guests on the terrace to enjoy drinks, conversation, and the stunning scenery. We found that 40 minutes in the wedding timeline is the “sweet spot”—perfect for capturing a variety of romantic portraits without keeping you away from the party for too long.

We then returned to the winery to capture the start of the reception and the high-energy emotions of the wedding party. With 8 hours of photo and video coverage, we were able to document everything from the quiet morning preparations to the vibrant celebration under the stars.
