During a traditional Greek Orthodox wedding, the couple is united together in “Faith and Oneness of Mind, In Truth, and Love”. Sabrina and Sumit’s Philadelphia Greek Orthodox Church wedding was beautiful and it was deeply rooted in their love of God. J&J Studios had the privilege of documenting this wondrous occasion. Check out all the lovely moments we captured during Sabrina and Summit’s nuptials. 

Sabrina and Sumit’s – How They First Met

Sabrina and Sumit met over eight years ago in college in an English Lit class. Their teacher ended up pairing them together for a project. The time they spent together working on the project brought them really close. They were friends for a year before they developed a romantic relationship. 

“Our first official date was at a cafe close to campus. It was all I could afford but we had the most amazing time.” Sumit recalled with a smile on his face. Ever since college, Sabrina and Sumit have been best friends and had the chance to experience life together. 

Sumit’s Proposal

Sumit adhered to tradition when he sought Sabrina’s hand in marriage. He got approval from her father before he began planning the proposal. Her father excitedly approved Sumit’s request for his daughter’s hand. Sumit proposed to Sabrina at the same cafe where they had their first date on a quiet fall afternoon. A tear-filled Sabrina immediately said yes as Sumit slipped the diamond ring on her finger. 

 Philadelphia Greek Orthodox Church Wedding

Sabrina and Sumit reached out to us months ago for help in producing the visuals for their wedding. We arrived on the scene ahead of the ceremony to get photographs of the beautiful bride preparing for the big day. We love to get candid shots of the bride getting ready with her close friends and her mom. 

Since this was a traditional Greek Orthodox wedding it was important that we capture every moment of important rituals. We captured photographs of the priests placing crowns on both the bride and groom’s heads, the intertwining of those crowns represented their union which was a beautiful moment. The couple wore radiant smiles as they stood before the priest and exchanged their vows.

Of course, we had to capture the very moment they kissed and became one. After the ceremony, we took a few photographs of the newly married couple at the church. We got some snapshots with the bride and groom with their family and friends as well.
