Tina + Matt - A Christmastime Wedding at Assumption Greek Orthodox

Chloe Leach December 29, 2021

It was 2009, and bright-eyed social butterfly Tina was enjoying her 22nd year to the fullest, frequenting parties and public outings with friends whenever the opportunity arose. She began to notice a handsome, sandy-haired stranger appearing in her social circles. Matt's good nature and easy charm made a quick impression on Tina, and she was curious to get to know him better. During their first conversation one evening while on the town with friends, Tina mentioned her Greek heritage to Matt, who proceeded to wow her with his in-depth knowledge of Greek history. If Tina wasn't hooked before, this was the decisive moment.

The two made their relationship official in 2015, and the adventure continued with frequent bike rides, family game nights, and various sundry adventures together. On Christmas night of 2020, Tina's favorite day of the year, Matt asked her to spend the rest of her life by his side as his permanent adventure partner.

December 4th, 2021 was a sunny winter day that melted into an evening filled with shimmering Christmas decorations, twinkle lights, and glowing candles: Just the way Tina had always dreamed. Here's a peek at the day's celebrations with one of our favorite crews to celebrate with.

"Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera."

― Yousuf Karsh

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” 
― Ansel Adams

“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” 
― Susan Sontag
