Betty and Thomas live and work in the city of beautiful Basel in Switzerland. But for their special wedding day they chose to have as their backdrop the amazing island of Mykonos. I think it’s one of the best locations to have a party! There is a reason that this island never sleeps and it’s one of the first summer destinations if you want to combine summer vacation and absolute parties!
Full of life, colours and positive vibes, it is an excellent location for a wedding.
Betty and Thomas party started a day before the party with a pre-wedding party. Family and friends took this opportunity to toast, dance and get to know each other better under the Greek summer sun along with some great music, cold beer, amazing cocktails and finger food. What a great way to greet your guests and have them all warmed up about the special day!
The wedding day begin with a beautiful summer weather and a sea breeze that Mykonos is so famous of. Everything was in place and the happy couple’s preparations started… I really admired their coolness and relax feeling that all had. It is not often that such a cool couple decided not to let stress to get into their way of enjoying their special day. And this should be the rule! As a wedding photographer, I say to all my couples “Until the wedding day comes you have done all possible for everything to be perfect! Everything will be perfect! and if not, it doesn’t mind… it will feel perfect nevertheless. So enjoy your day all the way!”
This is what Betty and Thomas did. The ceremony took place during the perfect golden hour of the day, at the picturesque little church of Agios Ioannis and then all guests were driven to a private estate at Aleomandra. The breathtaking view of the Aegean, the sun setting and the oh-so-fresh Mykonian breeze were and excellent introduction to a party. After a scrumptious dinner, the bar opened up and the music got louder. It was time to P-A-R-T-Y ! ! An what a party it was! The newlyweds have really the rhythm in them and all the guests followed as they need no special invitation to get this amazing party to start! I do not recall anyone sitting down for a minute… Mykonos got into them!
A big thanks to my second shooter for the day Marios Valmas.
