A JOLLY ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN THESSALONIKI
It may be the season where everything seems to twinkle and shine with the glimmer of hope and love, but it is also engagement season, and sessions like this one make us all wish for a sweet proposal decked out in holiday cheer.
In the brisk air of winter and beautifully set in an airy studio transformed into a feature worthy living room, these two adorable lovebirds show us how true love can really warm your heart. Get ready to snuggle up to this seasonal session that is sure to put you in the holiday spirit!
There’s no place like home for the holidays and this is exactly the vibe that sweet A asked from us to recreate. A twinkling Christmas tree, gifts wrapped with care, and some bubbly with panettone to make up this unforgettable day. While travelling home for Christmas to visit their families, he wanted to surprise his girlfriend C with a professional photo session, but this wasn’t the only surprise he had in store. He actually got down on one knee and popped the question!
The couple strolled down the narrow streets of the city centre of their hometown, admiring the eclectic architectural facades, many decked out for the holidays with fresh Christmas garlands and majestic wreaths. The chilly December weather didn’t seem to put a damper on their love and excitement, as they stopped for a few photos and laughs on the brick sidewalks. Back in the studio, a romantic and elegant setting was waiting for them with a sophisticated, neutral color palette with taupe and caramel tones. A Frazer fir adorned with mouth-blown glass ornaments and a hand painted ribbon with carols woven throughout, along with a Victorian fireplace set up the cozy backdrop. The elaborate mantel garland with fluffy white cotton stems, elongated pinecones and fresh evergreens like cedar and mistletoe, was handpicked specifically for its meanings of love, remembrance and fidelity; and provided the perfect amount of seasonal sparkle to our winter decorations. As for the intimate tablescape, embossed lace floral plates, paired with crystalware with art deco ridged detailing for a luxury touch, shined among the precious, vintage-styled stationery.
From the beautiful bride to be… Shivering, spinning, laughing, I said YES. It's the start of many, many holidays to come that we will spend together as one and I can’t wait to soak in this chapter of our lives!
