Santorini, with its azure skies and iconic blue-domed churches, provided the perfect canvas for Savannah and Sky’s formal photoshoot.

What made this session truly extraordinary was the unpredictability of nature. The pouring rain, an unexpected guest, added a touch of drama to the shoot. Despite the weather’s whims, Savannah and Sky remained poised and radiant, their commitment to the moment unwavering. Perched atop the ancient church on the cliff’s edge, the rain became an integral part of the narrative, enhancing the ethereal beauty of the scene.

As drops cascaded around us, the old Catholic church served as a majestic backdrop. Against the backdrop of the blue-domed architecture, Savannah’s long wavy curls, cascading down her back, and Sky’s commanding presence in his formal attire became even more enchanting. The raindrops glistened like diamonds, creating an otherworldly ambiance.
