Shannon & Joss | The pirate and the gypsy mermaid | Santorini

When a pirate marries a gypsy, all of the elements come together to make it an incredible event. This is a story of love, swallows, hummingbirds, dragons and sailing boats. Of mermaids, wildflowers, naked cakes and barefoot dancing. Rock jumping, salty skin, sunset sailing and an incredible good time.

‘We selected Chris Spira for our photography. I took one look at her images and knew she had to photograph our wedding. Her photos are magical and capture the sense of euphoria (that I can now confirm) that two people, in love, experience on their wedding days. Chris was very easy to talk to and as we were in Australia and she, Germany we skyped & spoke of things we wanted to incorporate. We felt so at home and comfortable with Chris! Even Joss who doesn’t really like the limelight loved working with her.

We wanted to a natural, effortless shoot that combined nature and told the story of ‘the pirate and the gypsy mermaid’ the angles, use of light, use of our natural surroundings, Chris absolutely nailed it. I couldn’t recommend her any higher. She blended in as one of our close group and I will definitely be calling her to capture the next milestone in our lives!’ Shannon & Joss

Shannon and Joss exchanged their vows at Marizan Caves. They jumped off  Bella Aurora, a historic sail boat. Shannon’s two piece wedding dress is custom made by Brisbane Designer Babushka Ballerina. The wedding planner was Fabio Zardi.
