First wedding in America
Every once in a while, life creates unexpected connections that lead to unforgettable moments. That’s exactly how my journey with Lily and Max began. We first met during a magical photoshoot in Santorini, Greece, where they were on vacation. From the moment we connected, it was clear we shared a creative synergy and a mutual appreciation for storytelling through photography. So, when they asked me to capture their wedding day in the United States, I was beyond honored to say yes.
Their wedding at the elegant Trump National Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, was nothing short of spectacular. The venue’s stunning landscape, overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Norman, provided the perfect backdrop for a celebration filled with love, laughter, and timeless moments.
As a team of two photographers, we believe in capturing every detail, emotion, and fleeting moment from multiple perspectives. While I focused on the couple’s intimate moments and emotions, my wife skillfully documented the guests, the intricate details, and the behind-the-scenes magic. This dual approach allows us to deliver a richer, more comprehensive story of the day—something that truly shines during grand events like this one, with approximately 170 guests from all over the world.
What made this wedding truly special wasn’t just the picturesque setting but the incredible energy and warmth of Lily and Max, their families, and their friends. From the intimate moments during the preparations to the heartfelt vows and the lively celebration that followed, every second was brimming with emotion.
As a photographer, my goal is always to do more than take pictures—I aim to capture the essence of the day and the story behind it. For Lily and Max, this meant documenting not just the beauty of their wedding but the love they share and the joy that surrounded them. Having met them months earlier in Greece, I already understood their dynamic and their vision, which made every shot feel even more meaningful.

Traveling from Romania to the US for their wedding was a privilege I will never forget. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do—because photography is about more than images; it’s about connections, trust, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Working with Lily and Max wasn’t just a collaboration; it was the continuation of a journey that started in one of the most beautiful places in the world and culminated in a celebration of love across the ocean. Their kind words and trust in me mean the world, and I am so grateful to have been a part of their story.
We’re excited to share not only the breathtaking photos from their wedding but also a glimpse of how we work together as two photographers, ensuring no moment is ever missed. This collaboration makes all the difference, especially for larger weddings, where having a second perspective is invaluable.
