Irish / Greek Barn Winery Wedding - Chris & Merrily
“Jon is such a talented photographer, he doesn’t do staged photos – truly capturing the emotions, the love and sheer joy of our wedding. He has a gift in that he is able to get right in on the moment without ever feeling obtrusive or invasive. He is kind and gentle and understanding, plus a Rockstar behind the lens!” - Chris & Merrily
The beauty about a wedding day is that it is a series of stories coming together. And within this particular Greek - Irish story, there were stories even amongst the most seemingly ordinary things - it was like stumbling upon hidden treasures as the story of Chris & Merrily's special day unfolded, on the day of their 10th year anniversary as a couple.
We begin with Merrily's red shoes were given to her by her parents when she was 17 & left home, to act as her "ruby slippers" in case she ever got homesick. The "bridegroom" & "bride" place cards were from Chris' grandparents' wedding. His late Papou (grandfather) used to say "I love you all the time" and these words in neon were the focal point of the reception, lighting up the room. Their Stephana crowns were made from olive branches from their own garden, intricately woven with eucalyptus nuts, representing Chris' family dog, Caesar, who passed away the year before. Merrily's mum made her beautiful blush-toned dress. The beads & sequins on her collar were from her late grandmother's wedding dress. And put together, they formed a truly incredible story fit for the ages.
