Elegant summer wedding in Sifnos | Ira & Matt

Summer in Sifnos has that crystalline light that makes everything look clearer. Matt and Ira chose the island for the elegance it hides in its simplicity: white Cycladic houses, stone, sea that can be heard all the way to the church courtyard. Their style was purely elegant, quiet and discreet, focusing on faces and emotions, without superfluous flourishes.

During the preparations, inside a small stone house with a wooden roof, Ira wore a silk negligee and let the light glide over her, while her father gently shook out the layers of tulle from the wedding dress with the lace bodice—an image that stayed with everyone. Matt got ready with smiles and a bit of «ritual» shaving, before they both stepped out into the courtyard to take a breath of salty air. The atmosphere had that relaxed tension of summer island weddings, where every moment seems to flow effortlessly.

The ceremony took place at a white chapel, with decor that let the place speak: clean white surfaces, a little of the island’s greenery, and a play of light and shadow on the faces of loved ones. The photoshoot was captured by Sea of Love from Athens, with narrative, often black-and-white shots that preserved the day’s authenticity and the couple’s refined aesthetic.

The night continued with dinner under the stars, linen-dressed tables and the breeze of Sifnos carrying laughter and clinking glasses. The elegant, minimal approach of Matt and Ira shows how beautifully a summer wedding in Sifnos can stand when it is based on the spirit of the place and the couple’s true connection—ideas that inspire every couple seeking measured design, Cycladic character and a warm, familiar atmosphere.
