The place

Crete

Greece’s largest island: a Venetian harbour in Chania, turquoise lagoons, gorges and mountain villages, and warm days into late October.

June is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

Crete’s light is clear and strong, hard at midday on white walls and turquoise water. The west coast faces the sunset — at Balos and Elafonisi the sun goes down into the sea — while Elounda’s bay looks east, towards the morning sun. At midsummer the sun sets at about twenty to nine; the hour before belongs to portraits.
