Irina and Anton, a young couple from Ukraine, came to Crete for a relaxing holiday. But this trip became truly unforgettable — Anton chose the golden hour on the beach near Rethymno to ask the most important question of his life. With the sea as their backdrop and the sun setting on the horizon, he went down on one knee, and Irina said “Yes.”
As their photographer, I had the privilege to capture this emotional moment. The soft evening light painted the sky in warm tones, making their proposal even more magical. Every photo reflects not only the beauty of Crete but also the genuine emotions of love, happiness, and new beginnings.
Crete is one of the most romantic places in the world, and proposals like this remind me why I love being a photographer here. Moments like these stay forever, both in the heart and in timeless photographs.
