Santorini Wedding Photographer
A glorious destination wedding under the Greek sun, Leoni + Joe travelled from Australia and chose to meet family their family on the beautiful island of Santorini. Le Ciel was the setting for their day, with
gorgeous views out to the sea. White -washed cliff top houses, blue-domed churches and picturesque narrow streets - there is beauty at every corner.
During the drinks reception we whizzed off with the couple to the picturesque views and the blue domed churches for some relaxed photos. A scorcher of a day, in that glorious Greek sun we made the most of the amazing setting. Leoni and Joe had a driver who had driven Leoni to the ceremony from her bridal prep location, and what was amazing was that he stayed at Le Ciel for long enough to drive us to the photo location which was amazingly helpful.
As a Santorini wedding photographer, I loved capturing this gorgeous wedding in Greece. If you are considering Santorini for any other destinations for your wedding, please feel free to get in touch as I love to travel!
About Le Ciel
Perched high on the dramatic cliffs of Santorini’s caldera, Le Ciel is the kind of wedding venue that feels almost too beautiful to be real. Overlooking the endless blue of the Aegean Sea and the island’s iconic volcanic landscape, it offers a setting where every moment feels cinematic - from your first steps down the aisle to your final dance beneath the stars.
Located in the picturesque village of Imerovigli, Le Ciel combines contemporary elegance with the timeless charm of Santorini’s whitewashed architecture. The venue is purpose-built for weddings, meaning every detail—from the flow of the day to the guest experience - has been thoughtfully designed with celebrations in mind.
A Ceremony with a View
The heart of Le Ciel is its stunning open-air terrace, where ceremonies take place against a backdrop of sweeping caldera views. Imagine exchanging vows as the sun begins its descent, casting golden light across the sea and surrounding cliffs. It’s no surprise that sunset weddings here are especially popular, offering one of the most breathtaking natural backdrops in Greece.
The terrace is spacious enough to host larger gatherings, yet intimate enough to feel personal, whether you’re planning a grand celebration or a smaller, more private ceremony.
Seamless Flow from Day to Night
One of Le Ciel’s standout features is how effortlessly your wedding day transitions from one moment to the next. After the ceremony, guests can enjoy cocktails on the terrace before moving into the stylish indoor reception space. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the indoor hall ensures the views remain part of the experience long after sunset.
As the evening unfolds, the venue transforms into a vibrant yet elegant party setting, complete with music, dining, and dancin - all within an exclusive, private environment.

Le Ciel strikes a rare balance between beauty and practicality. Its layout allows for a natural flow between spaces, while features like wheelchair access, professional event staff, and built-in services (including DJ options and catering) make planning far smoother for couple, especially those organising a destination wedding.

Whether it’s an intimate candlelit dinner or a lively evening celebration, the venue adapts beautifully to your vision. But beyond the logistics, what truly sets Le Ciel apart is its atmosphere. There’s something undeniably special about celebrating love on the edge of the caldera, surrounded by panoramic views, glowing sunsets, and the soft breeze of the Aegean.
