Don't Believe The Hype!!!

Sunday I had the pleasure to shoot again for Eric of Raw Photo Design.....Meet Dawn and Steve! I say don't believe the hype because Eric told me early on that this was going to be a "Greek" wedding. Of course I began to play back scenes from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in horror, sarcastically thinking in my head...."Oh dear lord save me!"

When I arrived Sunday morning at the Groom's mother's house, I was pleasantly surprised at how "normal" (of course I use this term losely because who knows what normal really is) everyone was. I spent quite a bit of time with Steve's family that morning, and I immediately felt like I was part of their clan. This family is amazing. Full of love, kindness, and of course...lots of tradition. So don't believe the hype...just because it's a Greek wedding, it doesn't mean there is going to be tacky taffeta, over baring mother's, or a bottle of Windex on every table as a center piece! The reception was off the hook!!!! The most fun I have ever had shooting a reception. I do want to give a shout out to the Grooms' Men as well for being able to hang with me....you guys know what I'm talking about!
