In the heart of Athens, where history and elegance converge, Lauren and Nick celebrated their union in the timeless beauty of the Zappeion. Their American wedding, set against the backdrop of ancient columns and Mediterranean light, was a story of love, culture, and connection—one that I had the privilege of documenting on film.
With my Rolleiflex and medium format cameras in hand, I approached their wedding with the same principles that guide all my work: patience, authenticity, and an unhurried attention to detail. Shooting on film allows me to immerse myself in the rhythm of the day, observing without intrusion, and capturing moments as they naturally unfold.
Lauren and Nick’s celebration was a reflection of their personalities—refined yet unpretentious, intimate yet grand. The Zappeion, with its neoclassical architecture and soft interplay of shadow and light, became a perfect stage for their story. Through the lens of analogue photography, I focused on preserving the textures and tones of this extraordinary setting, from the golden hues of the Athenian sun to the quiet joy in the glances they exchanged.
Film demands intention. Every frame is a deliberate choice, a quiet pause to feel the energy of the moment. This approach aligns seamlessly with my documentary style, where nothing is rushed or staged. Instead, the focus is on capturing the essence of the day—the emotions, the atmosphere, the fleeting details that make each story unique.
Lauren and Nick’s wedding at the Zappeion wasn’t just an event; it was a journey through love, tradition, and timeless beauty. Through film, their story is preserved with the depth and honesty it deserves—a series of tangible memories, each frame imbued with the elegance of their day in Athens.
