ALEX & ZACK

Joyful, Stylish Jewish Wedding at Island Resort Athens Riviera – The Residence

Set along the beautiful Athenian Riviera, Alex and Zack’s destination wedding at Island Resort Athens Riviera – The Residence was the kind of celebration that felt like pure magic from start to finish. Think elegant design, wild energy, heartfelt traditions, and a guest list that showed up ready to celebrate — all wrapped in that warm Mediterranean glow Greece does so well.

Their day started with the kind of buzz you feel before something unforgettable. Alex slipped into a sleek halter satin gown, glowing with excitement and surrounded by her closest people. Zack, just a few steps away, looked sharp in suspenders and a bowtie, sipping champagne and laughing with his groomsmen. Both of them radiated anticipation — that sweet mix of nerves and joy that makes the hours before “I do” so electric.

The ceremony honored their Jewish heritage, full of rich traditions, meaningful moments, and that unmistakable feeling of community. From the emotional walk down the aisle to the breaking of the glass, there were tears, cheers, and huge smiles all around. As soon as they were announced as married, the celebration kicked into full gear — and the joy never slowed down.

Back at The Residence, the reception space was a dream. Lush florals in shades of coral, peach, and blush framed a cozy photo lounge area, while wild greenery swayed gently in the summer breeze. Guests — an international crew from all over the world — gathered for golden hour cocktails, found their seats under twinkling lights, and were greeted with a tablescape full of elegant details. The vibe was modern, romantic, and stylish, with every touch perfectly curated for a luxury wedding in Greece.

And then? The hora started and the energy skyrocketed. Alex and Zack were lifted high on chairs, holding hands, laughing from ear to ear while the crowd circled them with pure joy. From there, the night turned into an all-out dance party. There was spontaneous chair-lifting, emotional hugs, wild twirls, and so much laughter — the kind of celebration where the music, the love, and the energy were completely contagious.

As a wedding photographer who captures destination weddings in Greece with an editorial-meets-candid style, this day had everything I love: heartfelt moments, bold design, and a couple who couldn’t stop smiling. Alex and Zack’s wedding wasn’t just stunning — it was alive, emotional, and so full of love. And capturing every single second was the biggest honor.

From heartfelt traditions to a dance floor that never stopped — Alex & Zack’s luxury wedding at Island Resort Athens Riviera – The Residence was pure Mediterranean magic.From sleek tuxes and glittering gowns to barefoot twirls under the stars — this was a wedding night to remember.
