Kayko & Doug's Greece Wedding Day was nothing shy of incredible. I can close my eyes and see beautiful pops of color, people smiling, celebrating and laughing. Kayko & Doug decided to have an intimate 18 person wedding on the island of Mykonos, Greece. It was a place the two of them had traveled to together while they were just at the beginnings of something beautiful in their relationship. They love Mykonos and wanted to share this perfect little blue sky island with the closest friends and family. Their wedding was relaxed, easy going and so unbelievably fun! I am so excited to finally be able to share it with you! It is really difficult to pull of such a fantastic day when you live so far from where it is being planned and Kayko and Doug nailed it. These two just have hearts that want to pour out to others, they give freely to their friends.  This day was never about them, but more about showing people a good time and allowing people to feel free for a moment as they let their hair down on vacation in Mykonos. Enjoy this lovely couple and their Greece Wedding! 

**This wedding will be published in the March/April issue of Destination Weddings Magazine**

Resort: Kivotos Club Hotel a Boutique Resort in Mykonos, Greece
Wedding Dress: Luly Yang Couture
Groom's Custom Suit: Mahiras
Bride's Hairpiece: Australian designed by Yummii & Cindy, couture bridal headpieces

definitely definitely one of my favourites of yours (and perhaps of any photog) to date. love the way the colour (especially the various shades of blue) pop off the bright white.

it looks like it was an intimate celebration filled with happiness. just as it should be!

perfect.

Chris and I are hoping on a big plane today to head to Australia for our VOICE workshop that will be held in Canberra on Wednesday. It's hard to believe that we get on a plane Sunday and don't actually arrive in Australia until Tuesday!! It's like we will be sucked into a serious time warp and for the couple weeks we are over there we will be living in the future... one day ahead of our American friends. We are super excited about the adventure ahead. After our workshop we will be heading to Sydney for a couple days and then off to explore Melbourne and then we are jaunting over to New Zealand's south island for a handful of days. eek!! So for those of you who may be trying to get in touch, please keep in mind we will NOT have our phones on, but will be responding to e mail periodically through the trip. 

But before I hop on this big plane today I wanted to post a bit of goodness from our time in Mykonos, Greece with Kayko & Doug! The day before we shot their wedding we went out for a short lifestyle session together in little Venice. Little Venice is characterized by it's lovely little cobblestone streets, sleeping kitties, funny little doorways, white buildings with splashes of color on the windows and doors & it's beautiful sea view. It's absolutely charming. It feels like you are walking around in a dream. Shooting here was unlike any other place we had shot. It was like looking at the world with new eyes and new inspiration. This is going to be the week of Kayko & Doug :) They had an incredible three day destination wedding on this perfect little island in Greece. So I thought I would share some highlights of the experience over the next week on the blog. Next up is their fabulous wedding that will be published in Destination Weddings Magazine and on stands this March, stay tuned!

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain -Author Unknown

It poured and poured and showed no mercy on us for Katherine & Craig's Rhode Island Wedding. That didn't stop us from rockin' it out though!  We are becoming quite the experts on shooting in the rain this year, and lucky for us, our couples are amazing and adventurous. A huge storm rolled in on the East coast the day before their wedding and as I went out and looked at the magnificent Atlantic ocean that morning the waves were good 7-10 footers in many places. I always have a smile in my heart for people who have outdoor weddings planned and it pours... it always reminds me of Chris and I's wedding day which was very much the same.

We were so excited to work with our friends Ben Potter & Drew Barefoot who did some killer video for Katherine & Craig as well. Cana Video & The Rhoads make a bomb team! My favorite parts about shooting in the rain is when we end up in funny situations stuck under umbrella's together soaking wet with deep belly laughing :) It makes me smile to even think about it. As Chris's pants were soaked through to his boxers, and Drew, Chris and I were stuffed under one umbrella trying to get the perfect shot in the pouring rain it was a moment of pure joy and complete craziness.

I am so thankful for Katherine & Craig's spirits. They were happy and so excited to be getting married. The day was a blast! These two got married right outside of Newport at a beautiful waterside venue called Castle Hill. These two are wonderful, gentle and beautiful people. 

Venue: Castle Hill, Newport Rhode Island
Florist: Country Cottage
Catering: Castle Hill

What a blast this wedding was! I was so inspired by Katherine & Craig's happiness, despite the rain, that I am going to buy a pair of rain boots for my own wedding--just in case!

Kristine Neeley says: Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 09:15 PM

Oh wow. I went to visit that place last year when I was in Newport... you make it look even more magical than it was in person. Incredible!

Albert Palmer says: Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 08:44 AM

Wow - just discovered this set - absolutely incredible. You have a new RSS subscriber!

April Russell says: Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 08:16 AM

Not sure if they knew about the weather or not but how COOL is it that a bride ( a female period) can just go with the weather on her big day. I would probably praise the Heavens if it rained on my wedding day! There is nothing more awesome than embracing the change life throws your way.

You did yet another beautiful and awesome job Sarah. Thanks for sharing!
