Wedding in Costa Navarino, Greece

The best dreams are the ones you share with those you love. And when you start your brand new life, like Christos and Keke, surrounded by the love and the positive energy of your friends and family, what more could you possibly wish for? The captivating natural landscape and the exquisite luxury of Costa Navarino, near Pylos, was the most ideal backdrop for a wedding impeccably organized despite the busy schedules of the couple, who have to travel a lot for professional reasons. I remember all those Skype calls with Keke, to New York, Dubai, New York again, and so on… I hope you’ll agree, though, that the result was worth it!
People came for the happy event from the four corners of the world – San Francisco, New York, Dubai, California, and of course sunny Greece. It’s really hard, however, to find the right words to describe the lucky couple’s friends, their enthusiasm and resourcefulness, and the terrific atmosphere they created. I realized what would happen at the end of the first day, when Christos’ close friends arranged an unforgettable speech session. I leave the rest to your imagination. There was so much joy and laughter… and lots of unpredictable situations – in other words, everything that brings people together, creates precious memories and makes a wedding memorable…
Everyone enjoyed the crazy beach party at the beautiful beach of Romanos, near Barbouni restaurant, that was followed by a great dinner party in Yalova in the evening. The preparations of the bride and bridegroom were made at the Romanos Resort, Costa Navarino, and the wedding ceremony was held in Zoodochos Peghe Monastery.
I won’t say much about the wedding; I’d rather let the photos speak. Everything was just perfect: from the Vera Wang wedding dress, the Badgley Mischka shoes and the Tiffany wedding rings to the elegant invitations, the bombonieres (favors) and the fans – all DIY by Keke! And a little funny detail: throughout the ceremony, a praying mantis sitting on the priest’s hat seemed to be carefully watching what was going on!
This fantastic three-day experience culminated in the wedding reception in Westin, with plenty of food and alcohol, and lots of dancing, singing, jokes, fun, and emotion too… The photographic epilogue was written at the relaxed green setting of the golf course the following day. In this wedding also i had the opportunity to work with Kostas Kastanakis, a great friend & an awesome videographer!
Christos & Keke, thank you with all my heart for allowing me to share these incredible moments with you. And of course a huge thanks to all the amazing guys who were there to celebrate your love with you for making me feel I was really one of them…
