This couple is as joyful and lively as their contagious smiles and feel so special to me! Their wedding day was fun, unique, and “totally Brendan and Maria”!

There is so much I could say about Maria and her amazing family. Maria’s sister was my very first friend in college and later joined our family when she became the Godmother to our daughter, Sonia! I have known Maria as Catherine’s effervescent little sister now for over ten years and still remember taking her senior photos in Boston like it was yesterday!

Fun fact: I was actually ready to connect Maria with my younger brother when Catherine broke the news to me that she was dating someone, “and we actually think he’s really great!” She was right. Brendan is so great and so perfect for Maria. He is the absolute easiest person to be around and fits in so well with their big, Greek family!

Fast forward a few years and I *literally* squealed when I received their wedding photography inquiry! I can’t believe the day has come and gone and I am featuring their wedding day on the blog! Scroll down for a gorgeous, traditional Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony, a magical blooming pink tree for their portraits, and so many radiant smiles! 🙂

Brendan and Maria, I am so so happy for you and your families! It has been an honor and joy to photograph your wedding day! God bless you both on your new journey in marriage!
