A Sunset Proposal at Petres Beach, Crete — Leon & Sandra

October 15, 2025 • Petres Beach, Crete

Quiet moments, chosen carefully.

A romantic seaside proposal on the peaceful shore of Petres Beach, near Rethymno, Crete.

Leon planned a quiet and intimate moment by the sea, choosing a location that feels untouched and naturally romantic. With the sound of the waves and the soft colors of sunset, Sandra said “yes” — exactly as the moment deserved.

The Story

In the days leading up to the proposal, Leon and I carefully planned every detail to keep the moment simple, private, and true to who they are.

Petres Beach was chosen for its calm atmosphere and open horizon — a place where nothing distracts from the moment itself. As the sun slowly lowered, Leon led Sandra to the shoreline, letting the scene unfold naturally.

There was no rush, no crowd — just the sea, the light, and a genuine reaction that didn’t need direction. After the proposal, we continued with a relaxed walk along the beach, capturing their connection as daylight gently faded into dusk.

“Some moments don’t need an audience — just the right place and the right person.”
