Do you want to know the secret to shooting killer pre-wedding, engagement or wedding portraits in Oia Santorini?

The best tip I can give you is to sacrifice your lie in, wake up before sunrise and go when no one is around. You’ll usually get the occasional photoshoot or influencer there at the same time, but it won’t be as crazy busy as it is during the day.

It’s no secret that Santorini holds an incredibly special place in my heart. This year was the second time I’ve visited and it will certainly not be the last. The weather, the magical quality of light you can only capture on this island, the people, the food, the views- it’s a lovers paradise. If you’re looking to elope, say your vows somewhere truly special I would not hesitate to consider Santorini. With an inspirational elopement at Grace Hotel Santorini Imerovigli it is a hidden treasure on the island with volcanic views of the caldera, the most glorious sunset and stunning balcony views for your ceremony.
