First wedding of the new year, and it’s a two-parter: yesterday morning I met Kendra and Mero and their families at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral for their wedding ceremony, and tomorrow we head up to the Silcox Hut above Timberline Lodge for their wedding reception! It was a blustery but lovely morning for their church ceremony (which just happened to be in my neighborhood!), and it was great fun to see some new wedding traditions and meet some of the happy couple’s family. Looking forward to their big day tomorrow!
I love a good church wedding ceremony – the stained glass windows, the great architecture, the substantial amount of time they typically afford me to take photos. They’re even better when the officiant knows the couple really well and the whole thing feels really sweet and personal, as it did with Rebecca and Karl’s wedding at Gresham United Methodist Church. Followed by a lovely reception at McMenamin’s Edgefield Administrator’s House and Yard, it was a day filled with laughter, family, friends, and the good kind of tears. And dancing! So much dancing, compliments of DJ Chad Dowling and the energetic wedding revelers.
