St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church Wedding in Canton, Ohio

It’s been a while since I’ve been at St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church but I was absolutely delighted to return, especially to capture Samantha and Adam’s beautiful wedding ceremony! These two opted to say I Do here before flying to Greece for the rest of their celebrations the following weekend in Greece! How fun is that??

What was not fun was the storm that came FLYING in when we went outside for portraits after the ceremony, luckily though we were able to finish up and I got in my car moments before it hit. They may look a wee bit wind blown BUT we got them in before the storms hit! This has been quite a wild weather summer!!

I started the day bopping between the two of them as they got ready in separate areas of the church. I immediately fell in love with Samantha’s shoes for the wedding and I’m still obsessed a month later! Samantha gave out gifts to everyone as they were getting ready and her gifts were SO thoughtful and brought many people to tears. Adam was quietly getting ready along with his friends and family and was touched by his thoughtful gifts from Samantha.

Soon enough it was time for the ceremony and you know I love an orthodox wedding! They generally not only allow me on the altar but encourage me to be and it’s such a neat vantage point for a wedding ceremony I don’t get often.

After the ceremony and formal portraits inside we were able to squeeze in the final photos outside before the storms arrived and they were off to their dinner without getting wet, whew!

Congratulations to you both!
