Rehearsal: Sandor and Svetlana

On one of the last days of October, I met up with Sandor and Svetlana at Saint Sava Serbian Orthodox Church for their rehearsal and then followed them over to Eddie’s Creekside Restaurant for the dinner.   The church is absolutely STUNNING and I have to say that the ceremony is one of the most unusual but beautiful ones I have ever attended (more on that when I post the wedding day pics!).  The other interesting part of the ceremony is that in lieu of a large bridal party they each had a person on their side and then a witness and elder witnesses.   Sandor and Svetlana came to me as a referral from my former bride and now coordinator Heidi of Heidzillas and we booked a few months ago. 

Enjoy their pictures (and a sampling of how spectacular the church is!) and I’ll be updating soon with their wedding!


Nothing like having Batman at the altar with you to make you feel secure!  Sandor’s friend from Hungary, Bela, came in for the wedding and his son came to the rehearsal from Trick-or-Treat.


I LOVE this picture, she is too cute for words! Look at those killer eyes!


These desserts almost kicked wedding cake off the top of the list of favorite desserts!


By far my favorite shot of the night.  Not perfect in any way but so funny and captured the moment exactly.  Sandor and Svetlana wanted a picture with Bela and his family since they do not see each other often.  The kids were having a BLAST playing with the shreadded paper from their gifts from Sandor and Svetlana (isn’t that always the case the stuffing and boxes are more fun?) and Bela’s son (formerly known as Batman) didn’t want to stop playing.  They tried to get him in the picture and this is the end result.  What is the icing on the cake is his sister’s look on her face!  Love it 🙂
