Greek wedding

If you've seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding then you might have a little understanding behind this assignment, or so I'm told. I've never seen the movie.

On Saturday, nine nineteen two-thousand and nine, I had the pleasure of photographing Elaine Papanastasiou and Steve Christou's Greek wedding celebration with colleague Greg Harring. The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Assumption & Community Center in Denver served as a great backdrop for the ceremony and reception.

Having never photographed a Greek wedding before I didn't quite know what to expect but if there was anything that I learned, it's that the Greek community has huge families and definitely know how to throw a party. The other big difference was the much longer ceremony than most weddings that I've done before. This gave me a lot of time to work the situation and even the opportunity to break out a 400mm lens that I don't usually bring to a wedding.

Both Elaine and Steve were a blast to work with. They were really easy going, had a great time and didn't let anything distract them from enjoying their day.
