A Romantic Full Moon Wedding at Petra Farm Paros


True love knows no timeline, and celebrating it should be as unique and personal as the couple themselves. Kathy and Dean’s beautiful small wedding in Paros was a testament to exactly that. Surrounded by just a handful of their closest loved ones, they hosted an incredibly heartwarming and elegant celebration at the stunning Petra Farm Paros, proving that intimate gatherings are often the most deeply emotional events for a destination wedding in Greece.


Located just above the famous Kolimbithres, the estate offers an authentic Greek island experience with unparalleled privacy. The day began late in the afternoon with a touching symbolic ceremony right in front of the picturesque, traditional chapel nestled within the farm. The soft, golden hour light wrapped around Kathy and Dean as they exchanged their vows, creating a serene and deeply romantic atmosphere that perfectly suited their mature, timeless love—an absolute dream scenario for Cyclades wedding photography.


Following the ceremony and some sweet family photos, we took a stroll around the beautiful estate for their couple's portraits. As a dedicated Paros wedding photographer, I am always mesmerized by the panoramic views from Petra Farm. Capturing Kathy and Dean's genuine smiles with the sweeping backdrop of Kolimbithres bay and the picturesque town of Naoussa in the distance was truly special.


As evening approached, the celebration gracefully transitioned to the venue's spectacular pool area. The dinner tables were set perfectly, featuring elegant, bespoke floral decorations that beautifully complemented the natural surroundings. Seated right by the water, the intimate group of guests enjoyed an unbelievable, unobstructed vantage point of the Aegean Sea. The breathtaking panoramic views and the refined poolside aesthetic actually reminded me of the magnificent dining setup we captured during Marco & Erika's Villa Aethra Wedding, where the sweeping Aegean horizon also played a starring role. Here at Petra Farm, against this similarly spectacular backdrop, the couple made a joyful entrance that led straight into a tender first dance.


But the real magic happened as the night fell. A magnificent full moon rose into the clear Cycladic sky, casting a silver glow over the entire bay. Before the beautiful dinner, guests shared heartfelt speeches that brought tears and laughter to the tables. The night continued with a sweet cake-cutting moment, followed by lots of fun and laughter as everyone enthusiastically attempted to dance the traditional Greek Syrtaki. The celebration gently evolved into a relaxed, joyful party under the moonlight.


Kathy and Dean’s Kolimbithres destination wedding was an absolute dream. It was a beautiful reminder that a wedding doesn't need a huge guest list to be spectacular; it just needs spectacular love and the perfect setting.
