With a busy & ever-evolving travel schedule, Puremotion Studio are frequently approached to capture couples’ precious moments all over the globe.
So when asked to join Jocelyn and Ben on a romantic escape to photograph their 20-year anniversary of being together, back in April this year, set amongst the sublime sunsets and blue-capped buildings of the astounding Aegean Island Santorini, Greece, of course Alex jumped at the chance.
This couple knows style & sophistication one thing was for certain, they wanted their memories of this epic romantic retreat to be documented by none other than our very own 2015 AIPP Queensland Travel Photographer of the year, Alex Huang.
After awaking from a blissful night’s sleep and opening the villa shutters to the most spectacular spanning views of endless blue ocean, we kicked off the shoot with our fun loving couple, who looked suitably relaxed, and ready to explore all the secrets that the cobbled stoned paths and unique and breathtaking architecture that the streets of Santorini had to offer.
Spoilt for backdrops, Jocelyn and Ben shone against the whitewashed walls and soft arches that seemed to naturally frame their every pose. Wearing a vibrant fuscia pink gown from Puremotion Boutique that flowed gracefully in the breeze, Jocelyn quite literally took Ben’s breath away. It was amazing to witness and even more special to capture. Ben in his bright blue button up seemed to effortlessly ooze style and charm, this couple had it all.
The next setting took place in an enchanting & mesmerising pocket of bliss, not far from our accommodation that was nestled neatly amongst the speckled villas and hand carved clay houses that lined the clifftop of our little hideaway. This place really allowed us to focus on the physical connection shared between these two. The moody and nostalgically lit cave-like tunnel was the perfect place to share a special moment together.

Finally, the time was approaching to capture what Santorini is best known for…it’s sunsets and the day was drawing to a close to we needed to maximise our time wisely in order to capture the essence of this stunning and majestic place.
When the Santorini sun sets, the reflection on the buildings and the glow of the orange and red in the cliffs can be truly spectacular so we were determined to photograph our couple in this light.
Photographing during this time was by far was the icing on the cake for us and an experience that we will never forget.
Apart from elegance and luxury, this shoot was filled with hundreds of genuine moments of pure happiness, laughter and a connection that comes only with a 2-decade old romance that Jocelyn and Ben share together.
It was such a pleasure to be a part of this momentous celebration of continued love and companionship between two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
Thanks Ben and Jocelyn – we hope you loved the images just as much as we loved taking them.
