Jacob & Mattie’s Elopement in Mykonos: A Journey of Love and Faith

In the enchanting glow of Mykonos, Jacob and Mattie made the decision to celebrate their love in the most intimate and meaningful way possible—just the two of them, united before God. Their journey together has been anything but ordinary. From high school acquaintances to inseparable soulmates, their story is filled with determination, adventure, and a shared commitment to each other. On this special day, they wanted their ceremony to reflect both their deep connection and the faith that has guided them through life’s challenges.

Jacob and Mattie met on the sandy banks of the Red River, where a casual conversation between friends blossomed into something more. It wasn’t immediate—they were in different circles back then, but fate had other plans. They officially became a couple in June 2017, and from that moment, they knew they were meant to face life together. Jacob’s service in the Air Force took him across the globe, while Mattie completed her degree and pursued her passion as an occupational therapist assistant. Through deployments and long distances, they chose love, resilience, and each other.

Both Jacob and Mattie live simple lives, rich in the things that truly matter. Their home, their dogs Cooper and Sadie, and their families mean the world to them. They share a love for sports—whether it’s golf, pickleball, or basketball—and never miss an opportunity to attend a concert, no matter the genre. They work hard, always striving to be better, and even enjoy tackling side projects together like building fences and remodeling homes. But for all their drive, they’re also perfectly happy spending a lazy day on the couch, appreciating the quiet moments in each other’s company.

After years of navigating deployments, career changes, and living in different states, Jacob and Mattie are no strangers to making tough decisions. Each step they’ve taken, they’ve taken together. Their love has been tested and strengthened by distance, yet every obstacle has brought them closer. “If all these stressors couldn’t take us down, we can make this work 100%,” Mattie says with confidence. Now, they stand on the threshold of marriage, ready to officially become a unit, bound by love and faith.

Choosing Mykonos as the backdrop for their elopement was a dream come true. Their shared love of travel made Greece the perfect destination, offering a sense of adventure while also providing the intimate setting they craved. As they stand hand in hand, with the sparkling Aegean Sea behind them, they’ll say a small prayer together—honoring their Christian faith and asking for God’s blessing on their marriage.

Jacob and Mattie’s elopement is not just a celebration of their love, but a testament to the strength of their bond. Without guests, without fanfare, it’s just them—two people, deeply in love, ready to start their life together. Their journey has already taken them to so many places, but this moment marks the beginning of their greatest adventure yet—becoming husband and wife, united in love, faith, and a shared future.

The couple photoshoot

At Love Gracefully, we are passionate about capturing the essence of love and family through our Love Sessions. These dedicated photo shoots offer couples, the chance to think about moments together. Unlike the formal portraits typically taken during a wedding ceremony or reception, a Love Session allows couples to focus solely on each other, expressing their love and affection in a more relaxed and natural setting. This is especially meaningful when renewing vows, as it celebrates their journey of trust, shared dreams, and a bright life together.
Our Love Sessions can be held in various locations, such as picturesque outdoor landscapes, charming urban settings, or meaningful indoor venues, depending on the couple’s preferences. The photographer works closely with the couple to create a comfortable and personalized atmosphere, encouraging authentic interactions while capturing candid moments of love, joy, and connection. These sessions are a cherished way for couples to commemorate their relationship and celebrate their love beyond the wedding day itself.

Choosing Greece for their elopement destination was a reflection of Jacob and Mattie’s shared dream—a secluded island paradise, where the natural beauty of the ocean meets the intimacy of a personal ceremony. With the sun setting and casting a golden glow over the horizon, they exchanged vows, committing to continue growing, supporting one another, and embracing the future together. The quiet, picturesque chapel they chose offered a sense of closeness, making every moment feel deeply personal and heartfelt.

The chapel’s simple yet elegant architecture, with its iconic white-washed walls and vibrant bougainvillea, added an extra layer of charm to their day. Against the backdrop of the endless blue sky and sea, every detail created perfect photo opportunities. As the sun dipped below the horizon, its warm colors added a magical touch, heightening the romance and serenity of the moment.

For Jacob and Mattie, this chapel represented more than just a venue—it was a sacred space where they could pause, reflect, and fully embrace the spiritual significance of their union. Mykonos offered the flexibility to personalize the setting, whether they wanted to incorporate a small prayer, meaningful flowers, or candles that reflected their unique style. It became a space not just for a ceremony but for an expression of who they are as a couple.

In this beautiful setting, with the sea’s serenity and the sunset’s glow, Jacob and Mattie found the perfect place to begin their married life, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
