A CRETE ISLAND WEDDING

Earlier on this year whilst on holiday in California, I travelled home via San Francisco for a meeting with these two. Nancy works with textiles and has an incredible eye for design and all things beautiful and when you talk to her, she gives you the impression of always being on the verge of bursting into laughter. Chic, cheeky & in my eyes, utterly amazing.

I was so happy to have met them both before their wedding in Crete in June this year but even happier that the next place we met, was the night before their wedding, with all of their guests, for dinner by the sea…

The following day, in the afternoon sunshine, I wandered around to photograph some pretty things and stopped in to see Nancy getting ready.

Nancy & Elias’ uncle opened the dancefloor with a freestyle interpretation of Sex Bomb. She knows how to dance.

 

This beautiful Greek Island wedding was also featured over on Martha Stewart Weddings Bride’s Guide. You can check out their detailed selection, over here.

There are lots of thank yous to be done here: to Shira, for the feature, to Sara, for the introduction, but most importantly to you Ms Fancy Nancy, for having had me photograph your wedding, for treating us as your friends and for introducing me to some of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met. You are a vision.
