Orthodox Wedding Photography
My photography journey started at my Greek Orthodox church when my priest handed me his DSLR Nikon and asked me to photograph services and events. I LOVED being the girl with the camera! Becoming a wedding photographer was never part of the plan I had in my head (as a little girl, I always wanted to be a teacher). Until, one day, I photographed a wedding with my high school photography teacher. A few years later, I photographed a cousin of a friend's wedding, just for fun. Little did I know that, just a few years later, weddings would quickly become my favorite thing to photograph.
My favorite part about Orthodox weddings is the tradition and importance of the sacrament. I truly enjoy witnessing and capturing the mystery each time, and experiencing it through my lens.
Fun Fact: I became a wedding photographer by accident (no, really!)

The Process
Step 1: Inquire
This is the fun part! Just contact me to see if I have your wedding date available and I will send over my package options and provide an opportunity to meet to see if we are a great fit. I will send over a booking proposal where you can easily sign the contract, pay the $1500 retainer, and secure your date in my calendar!

Step 2: Engagement Session
This is where the magic begins. Engagement sessions are a relaxed, fun way for us to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. It’s also the perfect time to capture this sweet season of anticipation before the big day.

Step 4: Get married!
On the big day, I’m there to document moments in a photojournalistic. candid manner –– joyful tears, quiet glances, and everything in between. I've even held dresses, tied a bowtie, and fixed veils on multiple occasions. My approach is calm, observant, and intentional, so you can focus on celebrating while I capture it all.
