For us, Greek island wedding photographers, Paros has always been a quintessential summer vacation destination. Brimming with unadulterated natural charm, chock-full of aquamarine water bays, and ideal for equal parts cosmopolitan and slow living, pootling around never ceases to surprise us with a new opening, a next-gen venue or a remodeled old fave.
When Hannah and Arthur let us in on their plans to say I do at Petra Paros, a gorge Mediterranean luxury villa and farm, and a perennial front-runner, we knew they were in for an adventure looming with beauty! The fun-loving couple sided with The Twelve Events wedding planners (one more favorite) to organize and design their dream celebration, and the result was nothing short of spectacular.
A sea of florals all across their orthodox ceremony held alfresco at Petra Paros’ idyllic private church, convivial partying capsules before and after the wedding, a magical sunset dinner, and tons of planned activities for their guests, all in the gallery below, will definitely set you in the mood for loving. Dive in!
If sun-baked shores, bougainvillea-draped backdrops, and the languid seductiveness of the cyclades make up the perfect combo for your destination nuptials, this floral-soaked paros wedding is the cue you’ve been waiting for!

Add in the easy-breezy chic with a touch of raffia and white linen, and a crew of traditional dancers to lead the fun... and Voila!
The ultimate pre-wedding escape! It's all right here!
Grab your dancing espadrilles, and don your finest raffia and white linen, because this sun-seeker Paros wedding welcome dinner is going to be a blast!

Maybe that invitation to go yachting each summer gets lost in the post. Maybe you’ve always preferred a little more privacy than the paparazzi afford your famous friends and a boat of your own has always felt like a bit too much. Well... let us tell you, a Destination Wedding in Greece will have you sorted. And while it’s all fine and dandy to fly everyone over for a weekend, what they will thank you forever for is... a cruise!
Someplace between your welcome dinner and farewell brunch -nobody likes to fly home starving, especially after having tasted the best this country has to offer- booking a boat (or six) with your loved ones for a custom itinerary along the Cycladic islands is the perfect cherry on top!
Once you hop on board, you're the bosses of your own timeline. Why not crank up the fun with a wild cannonball contest or uncover some hidden caves? Feast on juicy watermelon, tangy sea urchins, and scrumptious souvlaki, all washed down with refreshing beers and ouzo. You'll be treading on uncharted territory, so let your sail-worthy wedding-cruise fashion style run wild! After all, you're the bold leaders of your new life's journey!
Take a peek at our gallery below for a taste of how Hannah and Arthur rocked the boat and get inspired for your own epic voyage!
