A Day Filled with Love and Emotion

Lilian and Avgi's wedding day was nothing short of magical. Their bond was evident throughout every moment of their special day. From getting ready with family to sharing heartfelt vows at the Orleans House Gallery, this wedding was filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments

Getting Ready Moments with Family and Friends

The day began with Lilian getting ready with his father. Lilian's excitement was palpable as he went over his speech and prepared to meet Avgi. His best friends, who had been by his side since school, soon arrived to help him getting ready. Despite living in different countries, they gathered together to support Lilian on his big day. The atmosphere was warm and emotional as I captured candid shots of Lilian’s father helping him dress, the getting ready with his friends, and the joy of the moment

Avgi’s Emotional Morning

Over at Avgi’s, things were running a bit behind schedule, but it allowed for the opportunity to capture some beautiful candid moments of the bride finishing her hair and makeup. Her friends and family were nearby, eagerly awaiting the ceremony. One of the most touching moments came when Avgi’s mother met her, overwhelmed by emotion. She burst into tears, and Avgi, alongside her sister, embraced her, creating a moment of pure, heartfelt joy. These are the moments that truly tell a wedding’s story—the human connections, the shared love, and the emotions that flow freely

The Ceremony at the Stunning Orleans House Gallery

The Orleans House Gallery, a stunning venue with its rich history and beautiful architecture, provided a perfect setting for their emotional ceremony. The couple had chosen not to see each other before the wedding, and Lilian’s reaction when he first saw Avgi walking down the aisle was unforgettable. Supported by his father, he stood in awe, eyes locked on his bride, as she made her way toward him, arm in arm with her parents. The connection between them was undeniable.

The ceremony was deeply moving, with personal vows that brought tears to many. Lilian’s voice trembled as he spoke his promises to Avgi, and she reached out to hold his hand, showing their deep emotional connection. When it was Avgi’s turn, she too was overcome with emotion, and I was able to capture the moment when a tear slipped down her cheek. These moments of raw emotion, captured in photographs, are what make wedding stories so timeless
