Alesa and Dimitri at Saheti
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006We shot our first Greek Orthodox Wedding this weekend. What a blast! It started off quietly enough at The Westcliff, a quick drive later and we were in the church at the Saheti School. The church itself was amazingly decorated with icons, beautiful religious artworks and the ceremony was incredible. Demitri and Alesa are a great couple, full of fun and joy. We really enjoyed witnessing the love you guys have for each other and for life. Thank you for allowing us to capture that for you.
Then it was off to La Gatto, a small restaurant – I don’t actually know where – we travelled in a convoy through Houghton and then I was lost. This is where the real party started. You haven’t partied ’till you’ve gotten down at a Greek wedding. Dancing, plate throwing, more dancing. There is something about Greek music that makes you want to get down, especially when the DJ rattles off something in Greek and everyone cheers and jumps on the dancefloor.
I know I normally drop in a vendor prop around now. This time however I want to give a shout out to Dimitri’s mom and sister, her husband Costa and to George. Thanks for making us feel really welcome, we had a great time and I promise I really am still full.
