Elope in Greece from Istanbul
Elopement in Athens
Cagla & Ozan are a young, deeply in love couple.
The smiles between both are like dreamy fairytale scenery!
They wanted a unique experience and to organize their elopement in Athens, Greece.
A little further from their beloved city, Istanbul, where they live permanently.
So they decided to elope in Athens, specifically at the Turkish Consulate in Athens.
Also, we had a next-day photo shoot session in the historic Athens triangle, the same day after their wedding.
Includes the entire area around the Acropolis of Athens:
- The paved road just below the Acropolis (Dionysiou Areopagitou)
- Plaka and Anafiotika have picturesque houses, many small, extraordinary bars, cafes, and restaurants.
These locations are the ultimate destinations for millions of tourists from all over the world every year.
The day after their wedding, they took a short trip as a “honeymoon” to a Greek island.
The most popular of the Aegean islands, which belongs to the Cyclades, is Mykonos!
Mykonos is the number-one cosmopolitan island in Greece. Celebrities love traveling to Mykonos.
Has the best beaches in Europe, a luxury lifestyle & accommodation, privacy, parties,
impeccable concierge services, high-end shopping & gastronomy, and a soul-filling experience.
Mykonos isn’t only for wealthy people.
It is an expensive island for summer vacations, but there are options for all budgets.
You will have to choose between a luxury beachfront villa or a luxury accommodation at affordable prices.
It is also worth mentioning the following:
The couple had thought of other European capitals for their elopement.
But the Embassy, in cooperation with the Turkish Consulate, has helped them a lot, as they told me.
From the first moment, they make their wish for eloping to become a reality.
Especially with the many restrictions due to COVID-19 and other bureaucratic issues.
Shortly before the wedding ceremony, they proposed and waited, if they wanted,
for the couple to make a live stream from their mobile phone to share their joy with their families.
Something they had not thought of before, and which they did.
As a result, parents and friends who could not come to Greece due to COVID could watch their entire wedding live.
As a wedding photographer based in Athens, Greece, and anywhere globally,
it was not the first time I photographed a wedding at the Turkish Consulate.
What impressed me, once again, was their warm hospitality.
I suggested moving the ceremony table to a different location to take advantage of more natural light.
They transferred it immediately without a second thought.
Some will say details, but for me, they are the ones that make the difference.
Finally, it is essential to mention that after the first contact with me regarding availability,
my Turkish assistant in Athens did all the email exchanges.
She can write perfectly in Turkish, and of course, speaks Turkish fluently.
She was present on the wedding day, at the ceremony and the following photoshoot.
It made my communication with the couple unimaginably easier and made them feel at home.
Overall, I think it significantly upgraded their entire experience on their wedding day.
There is a unique reference to her in the evaluation made by our adorable and beautiful couple.
Of course, the translator assistant is also available for you if you wish, as an additional service.
