Emilia & John’s Orthodox Wedding – Colorado Wedding Photographer

Way back when I was in college for photography, I met Emilia! We went to England and Japan together, and quickly became friends. When she reached out to me about photographing her wedding last September, I was so excited! I knew it would be so fun to celebrate with her on their big day. Plus, an Orthodox wedding is so fun to capture!

I photographed Emilia’s sister’s Orthodox wedding at Holy Theophany in 2020 so I had experience at the church before. The photos turn out amazing every time, just look at those colors! They catch my breath every time I walk into the church!

After their ceremony, we headed outside for your bridal party and couples portraits. The church has a beautiful lawn and trees for photos, plus this adorable gazebo! We caught the light perfectly for their bridal portraits, I was thrilled!
