An Italian Love Story
by the Folegandros Aegean

Alfredo & Elisa, September 2025

From the heart of Milan to the sunlit shores of the Cyclades, Alfredo and Elisa chose the enchanting island of Folegandros to celebrate their union—a true Italian love story unfolding by the sea.

The couple exchanged vows at the picturesque white chapel by the beach of Saint Nikolas, where the simplicity of Cycladic charm met the elegance of heartfelt romance. Guests were welcomed with refreshing drinks and delicate floral arrangements that perfectly framed the chapel’s serene beauty. With the deep blue Aegean as their witness, Alfredo and Elisa promised each other forever in an intimate and unforgettable ceremony.

As the sun began to set, the celebration moved to the iconic Papalagi Fish Restaurant, perched above the water with breathtaking views of the endless horizon. Owners Manina and Paris welcomed everyone with warm Greek hospitality, setting the stage for an evening of joy, laughter, and culinary delights. Fresh seafood, exquisite local dishes, and fine wine created the perfect feast, while the sea breeze added its own touch of magic.

The night came alive with the vibrant sounds of DJ Menelaos Koutsakos, who kept guests dancing under the stars. With the rhythm of the music blending seamlessly with the waves below, Alfredo and Elisa’s celebration turned into an unforgettable seaside party—a true reflection of love, happiness, and togetherness.

Every precious moment of this magical celebration was beautifully captured by Lighthouse Photography, Teo, whose artistry and eye for detail brought the couple’s story to life through stunning images they will treasure forever.
