Floyd is 6’6’’ and I know for a fact that his knees did not enjoy walking down the 350 steps to the little chapel behind Skaros Rock. But the guy loves Lauren way too much.
They are both explorers. They live in the moment and move through life together.
We kicked things off in Imerovigli and waited ten minutes to take five photos at the blue domes. That is not how I like to start my couple sessions in Santorini, especially when it comes to proposals.
So I told them exactly this.
Are we going to do it like everyone else and wait for every good spot, or do you follow me to the rocks and do this right.
They agreed instantly and trusted me to lead the session toward the best possible outcome.
I will not lie. Walking 350 stairs twice in one day is not my favorite thing either. I do it for couples who truly value what I do and how I do it.
Floyd chose to propose in Santorini after putting it off for years. He is the type of guy who wants everything under one roof. About ten messages and a five minute call later, everything was sorted.
No venues.
No flowers.
No fluff.
Just a two hour session at Skaros, one of the best photo spots in Santorini.
Fifteen minutes later, we arrived at the chapel. I asked them to remove their shoes and climb onto the domes. Floyd popped the question in a different way than we had discussed.
I did not step in. I felt it was better to step back and let it happen.
They sat close to each other in silence, eyes closed. I took a few steps back and took one last frame.
The rest is history.
