Hydra Island wedding photography Greece

This is one of my favourite wedding photoshoots I have done so far and I don’t know if it was the wonderful landscape on Hydra Island, or the positive and happy energy of Irina & Vlad, but I loved every minute of being there and shooting with them. Irina wore what in my opinion is one of the best wedding dresses in her collection, which you can see on her website, The Last Human.

Both her and Vlad got ready on the boat and the photoshoot started as soon as Irina stepped off the boat with a giant sandwich that was immediately spotted by one of the probably hundreds of cats on the island. That ball of fur was adorable and I couldn’t help myself so I started shooting right away!

And I am so glad I did, as it led to capturing this lovely image below, which is definitely one that I am really proud of!

We started the photoshoot with a little refreshment break (classic) at a local bar next to the port, as it was a really beautiful and hot day and the barman offered Irina and Vlad a free drink when he saw them dressed as bride and groom - so here’s a tip, if you visit Hydra and want a free drink, just put on your wedding day outfit, sit down at the bar and wait. The free drinks will come your way. Make sure to have your favourite Hydra Island Wedding Photographer with you as well! *wink*
That’s me by the way, just in case you didn’t get the hint. I am sure you did, but just in case you didn’t. Okay, I’ll stop now, moving on.

From the bar we went for a walk around the beautiful stone paved streets around the bay, where Irina and Vlad were turning heads every step of the way. I didn’t mean for that to rhyme, but hey ho. We had people coming up to them to take photos, have a chat or simply congratulate them and some of these people were locals, tourists, some Ukranian blokes from the Ukranian sailing team and even Santa Claus who was on holiday in Greece. Just in case you have been wondering how he spends his time when not making toys.

After taking loads of beautiful and fun wedding portraits around the port, we slowly made our way up to the Hydra Island Sunset Restaurant which offers fantastic panoramic views of the island as well as over the sea. The name of the place is well earned as over the couple of days we were there, I witnessed some of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. The golden light filtering down through the tree canopies was incredible that afternoon and this is definitely a dream spot for a Hydra Island Wedding Photographer.
