Regina and Isak Eskenazi's wedding portrait

This is my aunt Regina Koen with her husband, Isak Eskenazi, at their wedding. He was from Bulgaria where they lived during World War II. After the war she came back to Belgrade to visit before leaving with her family for Israel. I would really like to know what happened to them.
