To see happiness, laughter & new beginnings – someones story, journey, love, prayers answered. I’m so blessed to travel, to find new places, to meet new people & then to show everyone everything I saw, how I saw it & how beautiful it was.

And I’m so blessed to know people like Cristina & Ovi; to see, hear, witness & know that they have committed every day of their lives to one another, to God & to their family, as one.

I also really wanted to thank the beautiful Alis, for helping me out on the day & being such a great reflector woman :)

As a wedding photographer & as someone who is a part of so many weddings each year, the morning seemed familiar enough at the beginning, I went to the groom’s house & took the photos I expected & planned to take & then I went to the bride’s house where the first 20 minutes went as I expected them to go. But then we made our way outside the house (where I had more familiar plans & expectations), only to find waiting for us musicians playing traditional Greek music & Angeleah’s whole family encircled in anticipation – cheering & dancing & clapping! Bride, father, sister, mother, grandfather & more all broke into traditional Greek dancing & into one of the most beautiful bridal preparations I have ever seen & felt a part off. To see how each family member willingly gave their blessing to Angeleah, to see what great expectations they each had for her future marriage & with what willingness they showed their investment & acceptance into a greater family, was awe-inspiring to me. The rest of the day was filled with what I can only call pure bliss & sunshine – Angeleah & Phillip had a happiness & excitement radiating from them the entire day – nothing could phase them, hinder them or hamper the beginning to an extraordinary life together. Angeleah & Phillip, on my behalf, thank you & may God bless each day ahead of you with the same (if not more) happiness you let me witness on the first of many!
