Wedding at Rocabella Santorini

April 5, 2023

I’m Dana.
I take destination wedding photography seriously. If I’m going to book a flight and travel across the ocean for you, I should probably show you that I know what I’m talking about.

If you are looking to have a wedding at Rocabella Santorini, then this blog post must be saved! I am excited to share the images from Zara and Harry in November from this inspired wedding at Rocabella Santorini.

Destinations with Dana

Hey, there! Welcome. My name is Dana and I am a destination wedding photographer based out of California and Japan. Since 2018, I have been serving couples getting married in not only the U.S., but now in Europe and Australia. I love being a destination wedding photographer because I get the chance to serve so many beautiful couples. When I meet a couple who is loving, joyful, and just excited to create an unforgettable wedding experience for their guest, my eyes light up. Because those are my favorite weddings. The ones that are so personable and detailed and story-telling.

Today, I wanted to share with you this styled wedding at Rocabella Santorini.

Harry and Zara

You ever meet a person and felt drawn to them? You loved their energy, their love, and how they treated other people. The moment I met Zara and Harry, I knew this young couple was going to be amazing to photograph. Professional yet very joyful, the two did an incredible job being our couple. I loved their energy and even though the day was long, they did not stop rocking it! Different parts of the day and different bridal attire (3 to be exact). I was truly impressed with them and they have become one of my favorite styled couples to date!

Harry and Zara met in Mallorca but only live a few miles away from each other. Shows how much the world is small! I asked them what they loved most about each other. For Zara, she loves how Harry is her safe place. He is so loving and caring to her and always puts a smile on her face. For Harry, he loves how Zara lights up a room when she enters. To him, she is his home. His safe place to be himself.

Aside from Zara going to school for marketing and being a part-time model, and Harry being a mental health and fitness coach, they love traveling. You will find them exploring new places, loving on their “sausage dog” (I thought this was so cute), and hope to one day move to Mallorca together.

Wedding Invitation Suite

So pretty to look at and incredible to photograph. The stationary done by Laura Elizabeth Patrick is always filled with detail, art, and meaning. You will find this nicely pairs with Victor Barbone Jewelry and Jimmy Choo Shoes

Wedding Ceremony

I loved this look! Personally, I will always be a fan of classic ivories and greens. Even at a hotel like Rocabella with a view so amazing, the classic look ties it all together and makes it perfect. Didn’t Maria do a stunning job!?

The Reception Table

Perhaps one of my favorite reception tables was this beautiful glass set-up. To me, it reminded me of the reflection of the Aegean Sea. On top you will find classic florals with ivory, crystal, and gold china to bring this reception table together for this wedding at Rocabella Santorini.

One of the reasons why I love this venue is the incredible sunset over the sea. The golden hour glow is the best time to capture the couple together. This reception dress turned into a short flirty wedding dress that took my breath away!
