We love the way Alexandria Photography captured the special moments, especially the traditional matrimonial crowning (or stefana) of the bride and groom so central to Greek ceremonies and the lavender seed toss right after they said their I Dos on the church steps. When it came to Michalis and Irene's reception, it was nautical central with adorable "Her Captain and His Mermaid" sweetheart chair signs, blue and white striped linens, gilded oyster shell place cards, and even a tiered cake with rope-like details.
If you can’t tell by now, it's all ahoy when it comes to this sweet love story, and we just adore it!
