Boston University Wedding at Metcalf Ballroom || Matt and Eleni
What a fun throwback wedding today! Not too much of a throwback, it’s from 2019, but I never got a chance to blog it (sooo many photos to go through!)… But I wanted to share this fun Greek wedding at the BU Metcalf Center.
I don’t often get to shoot Greek weddings, but I always love it when I do! I love the dancing, and the traditions. Eleni and Matt’s wedding definitely did not disappoint! They hired a special band (in addition to a more traditional American wedding band) to do the Greek dancing songs (there are so many! And so many different dances!). Eleni’s parents also brought back the favors for all the guests from Greece. And then of course the absolutely beautiful wedding ceremony at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England. I walked into the cathedral and literally gasped from how gorgeous it is in there.
Ceremony: Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral of New England
Reception: The BU Metcalf Trustee Center
The couple chose to not do many “getting ready” photos before the ceremony so that I could stay longer into the reception, but I did catch a few photos of the guys at the church, as well as Eleni’s arrival.
I love the look on Eleni’s face below - like, “here we go!”
One of my favorite parts of the Greek wedding ceremony tradition - and Eleni’s parents watching :)
We were able to grab a few photos on the steps of the church before we completely lost the light, and then on to the reception at the BU Metcalf Ballroom!
I just love Eleni’s smile! You’ll see lots of it in the toasts below, as well.
There were so many amazing toasts! I wish I remember what was said… I guess that’s what video is for!
Now we’re talking, let the dancing begin!
