Rachel and Henry’s Mykonos wedding wasn’t your ordinary wedding. They had organised most things themselves and it was a whirlwind from start to finish for a wedding photographer Mykonos to capture!

Since we spend summers in Santorini, the family often visits. Rachel and Henry fell in love with Greece and loved the idea of getting married in Greece. On their trip in 2015, when we photographed their Mykonos engagement, they fell under its spell and decided that this was to be the perfect place for their wedding.

The day started at the hotel above Elia beach and the views of Aegean.
