Greek Wedding Merrillville Indiana
Sammy and Greg were one of my last weddings in 2023.
Avalon Manor is one of the largest venues in the region. We started photos at Avalon Manor with the ladies getting ready.
I arrived early mid morning to get some great photos of the bridesmaids getting ready, details of the hall and some very fast formals of the girls outside in the chilly late afternoon.
We headed out to Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Merrillville for the ceremony just before sunset. I love photographing Greek Orthodox weddings. There are so many things that happen that are not in many other ceremonies. From crowning the couple to walking around the altar, there are just so many great things to photograph. Each part designed to add to the ceremony, which adds to the photos.
DJ Chris English from Hype Productions was awesome. He has an innate ability to read the crowd, Chris artfully selected tracks that resonated with every individual. There was a seamless flow in the reception that kept the energy high throughout the night.
I have worked with Chris often and I actually photographed his wedding a few years ago and have done family sessions for him and his lovely family.
The photos are a reflection on the fun music and great crowd.
It was no surprise that Sammy chose to change outfits into a practical dance outfit half way through the reception. Dancing is huge prt of their social lives. I stayed late into the night having a blast getting extra dance photos for them.
