Athens, Greece || Elif & Björn

Oh boy, where do I even START??? This was such a surreal time for me – shooting abroad, and in GREECE!!! This couple was nothing short of perfect. They have been married for several years! They met through a video game and just so happened to live right across the way from one another. Meaning a short 45-minute plane ride across some water. All my dreams were coming true when they inquired to shoot with me. I am so grateful that they allowed me to make my dreams a reality.

Let’s talk about some of my favorite parts… it seems that whenever I visit a new area or country I fixate on some type of flora. When I was in Iceland I was obsessed with lupines (because what visitors wouldn’t) and in Greece, it was the olive trees and poppies! Although we weren’t able to get any photos with poppies, there were tons of olive trees around!

I hope you can find as much beauty as I can in these photos. They just radiate love to me and I am so incredibly lucky and privileged that I can document these kinds of memories.
