Now to the reason you’re here!
First off we have Lexie & Alex. *May 27th, 2023*
They had their outstanding Greek wedding service at Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church. You will see some of the rituals they included below. So neat! Followed by a beautiful reception at the one and only https://www.thelehmannmansion.com/ This mansion made for such a stunning backdrop to their fairytale wedding day. Including the mansion itself and the gardens in the back. We did some bridal portraits up stairs with the timeless furniture they provide. The doors and mirrors add such nice character too! Also Inside they have a vintage cocktail area, and then a nice bright & open tent for the reception space.
