Rachel and Cory’s spontaneous elopement becomes a romantic celebration in Crete’s historical chapel!
Rachel and Cory’s story blends spontaneity with careful planning, leading to a romantic destination elopement in Crete. What started as a holiday plan quickly turned into a deeply personal wedding adventure when they decided just three weeks before their trip to get married on our beautiful island
Rachel and Cory had a clear vision for their floral arrangements and stationery, and we were thrilled to bring their elegant ideas to life. At the historic chapel, tucked away in a charming village surrounded by olive groves and accompanied by the soft sound of sheep bells, they exchanged vows written on “Welcome to Crete!” postcards. This personal touch perfectly captured their journey, personalities, and lasting love.
Elopement planner: Crete for Love
Three generations come together and unite for a memorable family photo shoot on the island of Crete in Greece. All three families flew in from the States for a vacation in Rethymno Crete. They rented a private seafront villa to celebrate the grandparents 50th anniversary.
Grandkids, siblings, wives husbands and grandparents for a 2 hour photo session.
My goal as the Rethymno photographer Crete was to capture images with each family separately then all together then to make a buch of combinations with just siblings, grandparents with their grandchildren, cousins and whatever else we could come up with.
And in the end they were challenged to jump in the pool. And the challenged was accepted.
