I love when weddings are truly celebrations of two families coming together, which was certainly the case with Jessica and Pano. The love and support from their friends and family was apparent as soon as we walked in the door.

Here are a few of my faves from their day:

The dressing of the bride and groom on the wedding day is ceremonial (and very interactive) in Greek culture.

The family and bridal party gathered around Jessica to sing the Greek wedding song as she got ready (the same thing was happening with Pano and the guys down the street).

A few portraits of Jessica before we left for the church. Beautiful:

One of my faves:

Another fave.

While Eileen and I were with Jessica, Kelly and Kevin were down the street with Pano and the guys while they were getting ready. Love this image below captured by Kelly:

This image and the next by Kevin:

I was able to be tucked away in a corner during the ceremony, which gave me a great position to get images like this one of Jessica and her dad walking down the aisle:

Image below by Eileen. There were elaborately beautiful paintings all throughout the church. It made me smile that at this angle the angel appears to be stepping on Pano's head. :)

The blessing of the rings:

Can you see the beginning of the tear forming in Jessica's dads eye? There is something about a father getting emotional on his daughter's wedding day that chokes me up every time.

A few portraits after the ceremony. This is my fave:

First dance:

This is pretty much the rest of the evening. Lots of dancing, throwing money, pause for breath, repeat.

It was awesome!

In case you wondered (as I did) what happens to all of the money afterwards...

I've been privy to a lot of ultra fun receptions lately. This was certainly no exception.

Yes, he is doing a backflip. (!)

Jessica and Pano, it was so, so wonderful to finally meet you and to be there to document your day! Thank you so much for having Kevin, Kelly, Eileen and me along; we had a blast!
