Athens island
It was such an honor for me to be the wedding photographer in Greece of choice to capture such a beautiful and intimate wedding in Hatzi Mansion, at the Athenian Riviera. For Filippos and Emily love was something that blossomed quietly and slowly among cities, planes, studying abroad, and endless summers in Greece.
That is why they choose the Athenian Riviera to tie the knot in a fairytale-like ceremony in the middle of May, after the first postponement of their marriage in 2020 due to pandemic. When they’ve met in London 10 years ago when studying law and finance, they instantly became friends, a friendship built in late-night shows, weekends in the countryside with their whole uni squad, and countless papers and midterms. When the university was over, an ocean divided them for good, as Emily had to return to the States and Filippos would go on in London for a couple more years. Something was not forgotten though and when the time was right they met again, felt like a part of them stopped missing, and fell head over heels in love. Deciding to marry was in no one’s immediate plans, but when love calls you ought to answer.
A wedding in Hatzi Mansion, in the beautiful Athenian Riviera
Since Filippos’s family is from Greece, they decided to say “Yes” in the Athenian Riviera and its unique landscape, which they’ve both visited before and had fond memories of. They chose to have their wedding in Hatzi Mansion, an estate half an hour in the outskirts of Athens that had the history to back up its grandeur and the aesthetics they both desired for their Mediterranean yet luxurious wedding day. They knew their wedding guest list was not going to be as large as they had originally planned, but a quiet and personal ceremony with just a couple of family members and a few best friends would be all they’d need to celebrate finding true love.
However, an intimate quest list did not mean that Emily would compromise her bridal style. Our bride’s impeccable taste and search for a finer, more luxurious approach led her to Vicky Galata Weddings. We are curating all the experiences inspired by the classic and timeless grandeur and sophistication, with a touch of French finesse and an eye for a romantic overflowing styling. For Emily, that worked like a charm. “I was in awe when I stepped into the ceremony location for the first time,” she told us after the wedding. “I mean, I know we had mood boards, schedules, and floor plans throughout the planning process, but oh my God, I could never have pictured it as magical as it was!”.
