An intimate wedding at Kastri Island (Kos, Greece)

Janine and Mark’s destination wedding on the sun-drenched island of Kos, Greece, was the very definition of heartfelt and intentional storytelling. Set in the picturesque chapel of Agios Stefanos in Kastri, a charming coastal spot just off Kefalos, their celebration was infused with meaning at every turn. This idyllic corner of the island has long been part of their journey—home to cherished summer holidays and the place where Mark, with their two young daughters by his side, proposed to Janine on the beach. Returning to this beloved location to exchange their vows felt like a natural continuation of their love story.

True to the couple’s laid-back nature, the day was designed to feel relaxed, intimate, and family-focused. Guests were transported by boat to the island, with Janine arriving later in a speedboat—an effortlessly cool entrance against the shimmering Aegean Sea. The ceremony was minimal and deeply personal, with a light editorial touch that highlighted the connection between people, place, and purpose. As a destination wedding photographer, capturing moments like these—where soul meets scenery in the most beautiful way—is what storytelling is all about.

Their destination wedding reception took place at Antonio, a charming beachside restaurant in Kefalos—the couple’s favourite spot on the island of Kos. As the summer sun dipped low over the Aegean, the setting transformed into a relaxed and joy-filled celebration, perfectly in tune with the couple’s vision. Guests were treated to flowing drinks, and a feast of traditional Greek cuisine, all served with the warmth and intimacy of a family-style dinner. The children, including Janine and Mark’s two daughters, were at the heart of it all, bringing life and laughter to every table. As the waves lapped the shore nearby, the groom delivered a heartfelt speech, followed by his best man—his lifelong friend—who added stories that brought both tears and laughter. The evening ended in true storytelling style: with a seaside cake cutting and a surprise-filled first dance with the best moves.
