The city of Athens in general is a dirty city but it does have a beautiful area surrounding the Acropolis. Here is one of the walkways with open cafes along the side.

It’s pretty amazing to see the old ruins with the entire city surrounding it. Here you can see the Temple of Hephaistos standing strong amongst the rest of the Agora.

From the Agora you can view the mighty Acropolis built upon its limestone bed. It is an amazing sight from below and I can only imaging the majestic presence that it had when it was completed. From the Acropolis you have a wonderful 360 degree view of Athens as it stretches on one side to the mountain and the other to the sea.

Here the Temple of Hephaistos stands on the hill overlooking the Agora.

The temple is the most complete of the buildings remaining at the Agora. Here are some of the 46 mighty columns.

And of course I had a wonderful cappuccino before we left Athens and headed for London.

We all enjoyed a desert wine from one of the local Santorini vinyards after the ceremony.

Here is the entire group of friends and family that joined in the celebration.

The view was breathtaking as you can see!

After the ceremony everybody was lead through the city streets by two fiddlers to the restaurant where the reception was.

Danielle and Lasha were so great to be with and as you can see they are entirely in love with each other.

On the morning of the wedding we headed to one of the nearby black sand beaches on Santorini for some intimate photos of Danielle and Lasha. They weathered through the cold water for some amazing photos that I know they will go crazy over. They haven’t seen these yet so this is a sneak preview from this session.

This is my favorite from the session.

Lasha can get Danielle to laugh any time he likes, even when they are both freezing.

We had an amazing chance to cruise over to the volcano that can be seen from Santorini. What a wonderful experience! And Danielle hiked up the mountain in her heels the entire way.

Lasha hiked over to the edge of an old caldera.

Isn’t this just an amazing view of the city of Fira on Santorini!

Danielle was having a blast

Here is Danielle and her wonderful mom.

The city is built right into the wall of the caldera with most of the homes having a least half of the home as a cave.
