Lovely Lefkada island wedding – Max & Georgia

21/10/201704/05/2020

The neoclassical masion that is home to the Municipal Library was the historic backdrop for the Lefkada island wedding of Max & Georgia, captured by destination photographer, Lefteris Kalampokas.

Their destination wedding dream was not the typical beach wedding you may be used to. They wanted their family and friends to really experience the island and have their wedding ceremony in a special, historically important location.

From the bride: “Max and I have been together for twelve years, childhood sweethearts. I always thought we would have a huge white wedding extravaganza, but after we finished two years traveling in Australia our little boy came along and like every mother, my priorities changed and so did my dreams. Time passed so quickly and before we knew it, we had our first family holiday abroad. A little Greek island we stumbled across online. We instantly felt at home in Lefkas when we arrived. The locals were so welcoming and family friendly! They couldn’t help enough, even holding Archer whilst we ate our meals.

My newfound dream became a little hidden gem in the Ionian islands; bursting with culture, beautiful scenery, fresh salty air and the warmth of the sun. We knew instantly that this is where we wanted to finally say our vows to each other. It wasn’t debatable…it was a yes!

It took us a while to find someone to help us planning from a different country but thankfully, we were recommended Claire at Lefkas Weddings. The whole journey was exciting, fun, organised and surprisingly calm. We knew that we wanted a venue with history rather than a beach wedding and Claire sent us numerous ideas. Nothing felt quite right, then she mentioned her favourite building was the Library building and it had a large garden that could be perfect for us. We saw the pictures and we truly felt this is ‘The One’, it had everything we were looking for. It was a tense wait whilst she applied for permission, as the garden had not be used previously for a ceremony and we were so excited when we received the yes to go ahead! “

Max & Georgia chose to combine their civil ceremony with a marriage blessing by Holy Trinity Church. This is personal ceremony which can be tailored by the Chaplain with hymns and readings to suit your wishes.

Following a champagne toast in the gardens, the guests strolled back through Lefkada old town. At the port, the captain and crew of the Ionian Star waited to welcome everyone on board for a wedding cruise down the Lefkada coastline to the reception venue. Their unique day ended with beautiful sunset and party under the stars late into the night!

Researching places and visiting new venues and is Researching places and visiting new venues and is a large part of my job. Walking around to get a feel of the place is essential. On this meeting at  @domotelagiosnikolaos our walk revealed the flower filled pathways later used by @maxeenkim in her couple shoot. 

We start assessing the venue from the approach; is it easy to find, is the road good, does it have a "wow" as you enter the driveway or is it a hidden surprise? 

Did they receive us well, are they hospitable and friendly? Was the coffee ☕ good at the meeting haha! (OK so maybe that one is just for us!) 
Is the area well maintained, cared for, do the staff seem happy at work or too busy taking selfies?  You laugh... but its important, I want your wedding to be a smoothly run flurry of champagne and smiles 🥂🍾

And the big question, the final LW check it has to pass! ....Would I get married here if it was my day?🤔

Meetings are a large part of my job, especially in Meetings are a large part of my job, especially in Greece where they love to do business in person.  I'm often so busy I forget how beautiful it is as I'm preoccupied with wedding details. I really relish moments like this between appointments  @domotelagiosnikolaos to take five minutes to just sit and enjoy the outstanding views.

Sivota Thesprotias reminds me a lot of Lefkas, with its cluster of tiny off shore islands in the bay and the glamourous yachts and cruisers gliding past.

I've been reading various blogs and posts and Micr I've been reading various blogs and posts and Micro Wedding seems to imply a compromise? 

Yes in some cases it does, I completely understand that reducing the number of guests at your wedding isn’t exactly the preferred option for most of my couples. But, for those genuinely considering adapting their plans, here’s my thoughts on why micro weddings are still just as special.

The importance of your day does NOT change. The excited nerves, the quiet moment when you finally add the finishing touches to your look, the moment you first see your future spouse and then the happiness because you’ve finally married them (thanks Covid!), the laughter and the JOY of it all doesn’t just disappear because you’ve done your day in a different way. L O V E will never be what you compromise when you have a micro-wedding.♡
