Milos has over seventy beaches, and its coastline changes every few kilometres. We arrived before the wedding and explored the island in detail, checking out the locations, the light at different times of day, and the logistics between venues. That preparation is not incidental. It is the work before the work.

The day before the wedding we attended the pre-wedding party at Agia Kiriaki, followed by an evening surprise kantada for Giuseppe at Afroditi's house. Everything documented. The ceremony took place at Panagia Korfiatissa, with the bride walking through the whitewashed alleys of Plaka. We took advantage of the landscape and the warm sunset to make wedding portraits after the ceremony, then moved to Paleochori for the reception. Classic Italian attitude, ending with candle lanterns released into the summer sky and swimming in the night sea.

The day-after began at Sarakiniko in the softer afternoon light, at the time of day when everything softens. We finished the session in the remote Thiorichio area, where their story was photographed as planned.

Afroditi and Giuseppe trusted us with their four-day celebration that brought out the best in every place we visited on the island.
