This was an absolute dream wedding. We jumped at the chance to photograph our friends, Greta and Jack's, wedding in Cyprus. The day was a beautiful blending of two cultures: Greta, with her South African background, and Jack, with his Greek background. The day started with Carin staying with the bride as she got ready and me heading with the groom to his traditional Greek dressing ceremony. It was an experience I'll never forget! The best man dressed and shaved Jack while his close family, friends and a violinist surrounded him. After the groom was ready, we took off for the church.
As the guests stood outside the entrance of the church, the bride was escorted down the narrow, stone street, by her two brothers. The service was performed in a traditional Greek orthodox manner, in which the whole service was chanted in Greek.
A reception followed at a local hotel overlooking the Mediterranean sea. The food was out of this world and we all danced the night away!
Enjoy some moments from the day.
Your photographs are really beautiful and inspiring Gabe!
