Jeana’s Melissa Sweet was beautiful.

Greek Orthodox ceremonies are fascinating. Jeana and Lee’s koumbara or sponsor Jenna holds a very important roll in their marriage. She exchanges crowns, signifying virtue and holiness.

Led by the priest, circling the table 3 times is a symbol for eternity and their eternal bond in marriage.

It’s something new at every wedding. I went outside to take a few photographs of Jeana and Lee in the limo and they locked up the church and left, with my equipment bag and car keys. I’m sure the expression on my face was priceless.  Luckily Barb usually drives separately and we always carry two complete sets of equipment, so she drove me to the reception and we retrieved my equipment bag later and the Sunday – a good excuse to do some shopping at the Galleria, across the street.

Parkhurst caters every event at The Museum – they always create beautiful cakes.

Greek weddings are always so much fun and greek dancing mesmerizing, their greek band Grecian Flames shared the evening with DJ’s Josh and Scott.

Jeana and Lee are so nice – we had a wonderful time with them both at their engagement session and on their wedding day. They spent their honeymoon in Italy and had an amazing trip.

I had a chance to spend a lot of time with them during their engagement session – we had a blast in the strip district. They’re such a fun couple – Jenny’s laugh is so contagious. You just have to giggle. An engagement session makes wedding day just a bit more relaxed and I really felt like I was photographing good friends on their wedding day.

Jenny and Howard were married in the Hall of Architecture at the Carnegie Museum with a reception following in the Music Hall Foyer. The ceremony was beautiful with a mix of traditions, Jewish and Christian.

Barb and I are an interfaith couple and are sensitive to what that’s all about – If you’re planning an interfaith wedding and have some concerns, don’t worry – it all works out and it’s wonderful.

As you can see, Jenny and Howard’s wedding was absolutely gorgeous – amazing details, terrific music and Jenny’s Reem Acra gown was stunning – it was perfect for her and she was just beautiful.  The bridal party was great fun and Jenny and Howard are fortunate to have terrific and suppotive parents. It was just a wonderful wedding.

In the Mood with their 20 piece orchestra laid down the groves, Hepatica provided the floral artistry and Parkhurst outdid themselves with a beautiful (and delicious) cake. Mary Jo Rulnick, the special event wedding coordinator at The Carnegie is always attentive, personable and does an outstanding job with every event.

I’m so lucky to have such a great job – stay tuned for a very different,  cool, unique and beautiful wedding the weekend after Jenny and Howard’s wedding celebration – Kristan and Andy’s outdoor wedding at Armstong Farms, followed by Elizabeth and Derek’s wedding this past Saturday at The Renaissance.
