Intimate portraits in a fishing village
In the traditional village of Plaka, whitewashed buildings and narrow stone paths told the story of iconic Greece that someone would expect to find when visiting. As the sun dipped toward the horizon, the bride and groom-to-be strolled through the village’s winding alleys and down to the charming fishing village of Klima, with its iconic, colorful fisherman’s houses perched right by the sea. The peacefulness and beauty of these locations made them perfect backdrops for intimate portraits, capturing the genuine connection between the two and the timeless romance of Milos.
