Leslie & Sinan, May 2019

Once in a while…love gives us a fairytale…

That dreamy fairytale came reality for Sinan & Leslie in Santorini.

They met each other on June 20th, 2013 in Qatar, during a graduation party. Real emotions started from the first side for both.

Such were the emotions, that lasted for 6 years, when the couple was staying in different countries due to studies and work.

The miles and the distance between Sinan & Leslie, could do nothing to separate them and through all these years, they managed to keep the flame alive.

On 17th October 2017, they did a civil legal wedding in a courthouse in Ames, Iowa, with some friends and family members.

Their dream was to come in Santorini, with parents, brothers, and sisters, enjoying a renewal of vow under the Greek sun, and the amazing view of the whole island.

The couple had an impressive pre wedding photo shooting one day before their wedding, around the traditional villages of Santorini, and Vlychada beach. They were full in love and cheerful, enjoyed every minute of the shooting.

On the wedding day, the church yard of Saint Fotini Hall, at Pyrgos Restaurant, offered the couple and guests panoramic views of the whole Santorini, created a romantic atmosphere during ceremony accompanied with luxurious flower set up in peach, white and gold colors.

Their perfect day finished with a richness dinner, at Small Private hall of Pyrgos Restaurant, Greek traditional food, wine, and smashing plates show, ending the party, followed by sky fireworks.
