It took a whole five minutes from the moment I met Michelle and Costa (Gus) to realize that we were the perfect match to be their wedding photographers. They have a thirst for life and an equal love for tradition and family. They are funny, genuine, and I’m just fortunate to know them. From their Central Park engagement session last year to their Insignia wedding day just a few weeks ago, I’ve cherished each moment with them.
As you may know, Rich and I are heavily invested in our big Italian families (now one family, am I right, guys?) so photographing Michelle and Gus’ Italian-meets-Greek wedding was one we will never forget. Michelle and Gus took the time to teach us about the important Greek traditions, such as their beautiful church ceremony, the “dance the bride” dance, and money dance, and the stunning sounds of the traditional Greek instruments (see Gus’ amazing guitar skills below!).
Thank you to Michelle and Costa and your incredible families for welcoming us as your own. We are blessed to know you all. Hoping you enjoy some of our favorites from your wedding day!
