N&G at Santa Irini

Perched on the cliff’s edge, where the caldera breathes with every wave, Natasha & Gareth’s May 2025 celebration glowed with an effortless grace - sun-drenched moments, whitewashed walls, and a sea breeze that carried laughter from beginning to forever! It was a day where rules loosened and love took center stage, a timeless memory you’ll want to replay in your heart again and again. Here’s to a romance as radiant as the Aegean sunset and a future as bright as the blue domes above.

What made their day special:

• A rule-free destination elopement that prioritized their love to each other!
• An intimate “getting-ready” morning in iconic whitewashed Oia village that felt relaxed and joyful, followed by a first look that captured genuine emotion!
• A cliffside ceremony with uninterrupted caldera views, bathed in the soft, sunset-ready light of the Aegean - a tearful, heartfelt exchange of vows against the dramatic backdrop of the caldera bay!
• A romantic first dance as day faded to twilight, set to a timeless tune that felt personal and perfect for the moment!
• A private, al fresco dinner designed to celebrate with close family and friends, featuring Mediterranean flavors and a view that felt almost unreal!
• A seamless flow from getting-ready to the afterglow of the first dance, all coordinated by Vanilla Sky’s event planning team!
