The Event

The day before, a cruise to Katergo beach and a cocktail party by the pool at Fata Morgana. The ceremony took place at the Church of Panagia, a whitewashed church built above the Chora on the site of an ancient temple. Martin and his family walked the rocky path from Pounda square. Maria followed with her bridesmaids. At the top, Martin's father — one of the world's leading trumpet soloists — played as she arrived. The moments mellowed to the golden notes. After the ceremony, the reception at Blue Cuisine. A party that survived a one-and-a-half hour electricity cut without losing momentum. The next morning, brunch by the sea in Angali.

Our Approach

Folegandros gives you very little to hide behind. The architecture is bare, the light is direct, the landscape is wild. What this wedding added was extraordinary — a trumpet on a clifftop path, a grandmother's letter read aloud, a Swedish kissing tradition that the Greeks immediately adopted. We observed, responded and stayed out of the way of moments that needed no direction.

The Destination

Folegandros sits off the beaten path in the Cyclades, named after a son of King Minos. The island has maintained a character that more popular destinations have long since traded away. The Chora, built inside a medieval castle, is one of the most intact traditional settlements in the Aegean. Bougainvillea over whitewashed balconies, sheer cliff drops, secluded coves accessible only by boat.

For a wedding, Folegandros offers something genuinely rare. A scale that keeps everything intimate, a landscape that makes every moment feel considered, and a pace that allows a wedding film to breathe. A destination that rewards couples who choose it for the right reasons.
