What it is

Elopements give us what big weddings rarely allow: time with the two of you in the light. The ceremony takes twenty minutes; the next two hours are a long walk through the village with the dress, the suit and nobody waiting at a dinner table.

Alexandros's note: a white chapel with blue doors at 18:30 in June, then the cliff path at 19:30. I plan every elopement around the sunset time of the day, not around the venue's schedule.

If you need an officiant, a venue or paperwork, our sister team can help; we handle the photography.

A typical day

  1. Getting-ready frames at your hotel; the dress, the rings, the view.

  2. Ceremony at the chapel or on the terrace, twenty to thirty minutes.

  3. Portraits in the village while the light softens.

  4. Golden hour on the caldera path, then a glass of wine with the last frames.

Times for a June date. Autumn elopements start about an hour earlier.
