Classic Crete, Greece Wedding at Agreco Farm

June 7, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Stylish-Greek-Village-Wedding-at-Agreco-Farm-Elias-Kordelakos-6

When a Polish bride marries an Iranian groom in a village in Greece, the result is nothing short of magical. Marta and Sal said “I do” at Agreco Farm, where they balanced traditional wedding customs with a breezy, laid-back attitude true to the Grecian atmosphere. Marta looked stunning in her Sophia Tolli lace gown, with her cropped blonde hair pinned back with a delicate birdcage veil. Elias Kordelakos‘ photographs of the day didn’t disappoint, leaving the newlyweds with too many favorites to choose from as they reminisce on their wedding for years to come.

Sal is Iranian and Marta is Polish, so our day was a combination of both.

Sal is a photographer, so photos were his top priority. He interviewed many photographers until he was confident of his decision. We couldn’t be happier with the work Elias Kordelakos did. Professional from beginning to end. Our guests loved him, and final product speaks for itself!

From the photographer: Sometimes you meet people that you instantaneously click with. People that push you, inspire you and change you for the better. People that will literally make you laugh until you cry, dance in the streets and run around in their underwear for you (with a little encouragement). Surround yourself with people who see the world the same way you do and who truly want you to conquer it. A big thank you to this beautiful heart. I miss you and our California adventures.
