It was a lovely fall day in early November when Jeannie and Patrick’s families gathered to watch them take their next step in life together. Their wedding day was a perfectly curated blend of color, happiness, and love, which shines through their wedding gallery. With a traditional Greek Orthodox Wedding and a colorful reception at Anthony’s Ocean View, the day was nothing short of perfect. We were so honored to capture this special day!
