07 Oct Despoina + George | Traditional Wedding in Nea Roda, Halkidiki
There’s something truly timeless about a traditional Greek wedding by the sea, and Despoina & George’s celebration in Nea Roda, Halkidiki was a perfect example of love, faith, and family.
Their religious ceremony took place in a small seaside chapel overlooking the Halkidiki coastline, a location filled with both beauty and serenity. As the sea breeze carried the soft sound of the waves, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by family, friends, and the golden Greek sunlight.
Despoina looked stunning in her elegant gown, walking toward the church under the blue sky, while George waited with a mix of excitement and emotion. The joy was palpable — the laughter, the tears, the music, and the tradition of rice-throwing outside the chapel created unforgettable memories.
As a Wedding photographer, I’m always inspired by weddings like this — where natural beauty and heartfelt emotions blend perfectly.
The following day, we met again for a next-day photoshoot in Afytos, one of the most picturesque villages in Halkidiki. Its stone alleys, charming architecture, and breathtaking sea views created a dreamy setting for romantic portraits. As the sun set over the cliffs, Despoina and George shared tender moments filled with love and calm — a perfect ending to their wedding story.
Both Nea Roda and Afytos showcase the unique charm of northern Greece: coastal beauty, timeless traditions, and genuine emotion.
For couples dreaming of a traditional wedding in Greece or a destination wedding in Halkidiki, Despoina & George’s celebration is a wonderful reminder that true love always shines brightest by the sea.
