There we were at St Demeterios Church in Fort Worth photographing our first Greek Orthodox ceremony. Did I YouTube a bunch of Greek Orthodox ceremonies ahead of time? You better believe I did! And I’m so glad because the ring exchange was quite early on and done by the minister instead of the bride & groom- you can’t be too ready for this stuff!

It was a gorgeous, albeit windy day in early March …

The flower girl and ring bearer were pretty entertaining during the ceremony. I was so impressed that both made it the full hour. Well, the ring bearer did try to run away, but he was wrangled back to the altar.
