It is wonderful to be back after a slight absence to typing thoughts and exciting photos from the cultural happenings of wedding photography! There are so many new "destinations" to show and I can't wait to start "traveling" with you again!
To come back with a BANG- there is no better place to begin with than visiting a Greek wedding! With so much music, dancing and tradition, you will easily find more to say than just "Opa!" Even though I have yet to attend a reception that serves flaming cheese, take a look at the photos below and you will see that the energy lasts until dawn!
A bride is welcomed into the family with a chair dance.
Weddings are great for bringing family together--and many Greek families are BIG families with many members in attendance.
Blessing and prayer before dinner. This was done by the bride's brother and he gave a 30 minute speech about the families' history and how the she grew up to be a beautiful bride. Both the bride and groom came to the front to take communion together with their parents.
Elbows up in the traditional style, EVERYONE is dancing!
You get the idea-
Go "Greek" or Go Home Baby!
