Greece was on my bucket list. We even talked of taking our honeymoon in Greece. We couldn’t afford it. So, when my good friend, a sommelier and traveller, decided to get married in Santorini, we couldn’t believe our luck. I was asked to do the bride’s hair and make-up and to do make-up for the wedding party. Of course, I said yes.
What an incredibly magical spot to wed!

I brought my favourite products for the big day – tried and true – ready for the heat!

Meanwhile, outside the day was shaping up to be incredibly idyllic. El Greco Resort, Santorini.

At the wedding venue, Oceanides, with my lovely wife. Just a little over a year ago, we married in Toronto, Ontario.

Delicious food and fresh local ingredients.

Honey, sesame and cheese…

By the time the ‘main’ course of whole grilled fish came to our table, we were so satisfied and full!

Plates for breaking. Opa!
The bride’s hair and some behind the scenes NON-professional close-ups.

The bride.

Braids and twists were the inspiration for this Grecian look. Heat-proof hair was on the ‘must have’ list.

At the venue, the sea took center stage as the gorgeous backdrop for their vows.

Our friendship goes back to 7th grade. She looked absolutely stunning, head to toe.

A rose between two thorns.

The day after the wedding; the bride, Lindsay, was ready to relax on the beach. If only we all looked this fresh the day after ‘the big day’! Beach cover-up from Muska – Thira, Santorini.

Getting ready for their close-ups. Olive branch head garlands.

Finishing touches.
And… Opa! Here are the final photos of the stunning bride (and groom!)
