I have never seen two people more in love with each other than Janelle and Angelo. They will tell the story of how they met at his families restaurant over and over. It seems as though Janelle was destined to walk in that day and see Angelo working. Sparks flew immediately and the rest is history.
Sunday was a testament to their bond. Smiles, laughs and tears were shared by everyone all day.
I was so connected to Janelle from the day we met. She would call me to share every planning detail and to get my opinion on everything. She is a girl after my own heart!
My friend Erik came to shoot with me Sunday. He had a chance to meet Janelle at our Photog shoot out last month where Janelle was one of the models. So this made it seem like we were all just a bunch of friends hanging out for the day.
The ceremony was held at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox church in Lancaster. I love Greek ceremonies because you are allowed to stand right up in the action. Janelle was like a big bundle of energy waiting for the pronouncement that her and Angelo were finally married. She even did a little dance right at the end!
After shooting some formals of everyone, we headed to Lancaster Country Club for the reception. Janelle wanted us to photograph the ballroom before anyone was allowed in. She put in so much thought to the details, from the zebra print table runners, ostrich feather center pieces to the hockey puck place cards(for Angelo) and the Bowl of baked oatmeal cake. Yes, it was crazy and different, but they wanted something to symbolize the first date they had over a bowl of baked oatmeal!
After dinner and some traditional greek dances, they had a limbo and hoola hoop contest in honor of Janelle’s college friends.
We had such a blast!! Thank you for letting us be part of your day!! Enjoy your show!
