a day by the sea

∴

i've never had the chance to take photos of people's weddings. and i've always had the impression that this kind of photography could not really be my cup of tea given that weddings in greece mainly take place at night, fact that implies the use of flash. and i truly hate flash. on the contrary, i love natural daylight. don't care if it's sunny and super bright or if it's rainy and gray. i just love the photographic opportunities that natural daylight can offer me.

so, the story goes like this; one happy afternoon a month ago, maria and dimitris announced us that they decided to get married in a civil wedding ceremony end of january. they also asked us, v and myself, to take their photos. well, how could i say no to our lovely friends and how could i just miss an opportunity like this, to capture beautiful personal moments in daylight? well, i didn't and deal was sealed.

things, however, looked pretty rough when that day arrived { and that day was yesterday } when we hit the road to nafpaktos. heavy rain and cold accompanied us all the way to our beloved couple. i was so excited to share their happiness and take their photos that bad weather conditions didn't really matter. i just felt the urge to get out there without umbrella and do the job.

we finally snapped their happy moments and some bright smiles plus offered ourselves some good photos for the new blog~portfolio we created { just last night } to share this kind of work. here i share some with you and you can find more here.
