October 28, 2025 • Maleme Beach, Chania, Crete
A romantic seaside proposal with champagne setup and discreet photography by Panagiotis & Maria.
This beautiful proposal unfolded on the peaceful shore of Maleme Beach in Chania, Crete — a perfect example of my approach to
proposal photography in Crete.
Harry surprised Emily with a romantic seaside setup — champagne, flowers, and the soft light of a Cretan sunset.
Together with my wife Maria, we handled the planning and discreet logistics so the moment felt effortless and truly theirs.
In the weeks before the big day, Harry and I exchanged emails and had a video call to align every detail.
The plan was simple: a private setting by the sea, natural reactions, and timeless images.
We arrived early to prepare the setup and keep everything discreet. As the sun touched the horizon, Harry proposed — and Emily said “yes”.
After a quiet toast, we enjoyed a relaxed photoshoot to capture their joy and connection.
Many couples who start with a proposal in Crete later choose a quieter, more intimate way to celebrate — through an elopement by the sea.
“We had the most amazing experience and the proposal went exactly as planned thanks to Panagiotis and his lovely wife.
The communication beforehand was excellent…
The day itself was amazing and Panagiotis was not only discreet and helpful, but made the day even more special with the set up and photography.
I would highly recommend his service to anyone :)”

Sunset. The soft, warm light is ideal for a romantic atmosphere and timeless images.
