As a UK and Destination Wedding Photographer I have been able to travel across Europe for weddings and Mykonos has to be up there for their fantastic hospitality, beautiful scenery and of course, the stunning golden hours. It is fair to say the Island is windy (the windiest in Greece) but you can still enjoy your time here and get some stunning photographs to match. Villa Weddings are a brilliant idea; your guests can stay and play!
Mykonos is the perfect location for an elopement, intimate ceremony or a large guest wedding. I feel so lucky to be able to say I have photographed a Villa Wedding in Mykonos. There are so many beautiful spots including this quiet, idyllic location overlooking the South coast. The villa itself is absolutely breathtaking with many beautifully styled bedrooms (including an underwater basement disco area!).This location is one of my favourites for how peaceful and for the breathtaking landscape.
As part of an incredible Styled Shoot we got to explore the island for spots for pre wedding shoots, for drinks and dinners and even ceremony spots. Even though I have been photographing weddings since 2013, I love to learn, to explore and to develop my portfolio further – a styled shoot is the perfect way to do this. The light in Greece is different to that of the UK too so it’s so helpful to gain experience in this area.
The Villa was only a short drive from our hotel – The Wild Mykonos which I highly recommend to honeymooners!
I am so looking forward to sharing more of my abroad trips with you in the future as well as my UK weddings. Next up on my travel I will be going to Dubrovnik, Valencia, Cappadocia and Paris!
