*our blog has moved. please visit us at eight20photography.com for all the latest from eight20 :).
this blog entry has taken me entirely to long to put together, and i apologize. i could not narrow down my favorite images and sangini and vik’s slideshow contains 108 images because of that!! sangini and vik’s wedding was incredible; the food, dancing, colors, outfits. everywhere i looked there was something exciting to photograph. sangini has the most beautiful eyes and skin you could ever wish for, and i probably took way too many photos of her getting ready but i couldn’t help it. for this 13 hour, over 400 guest event i brought in the one and only araxi to help us. you would think a 13 hour day would be exhausting, but i had so much fun, and at the end of the night wished i could stay to dance and eat along with all the guests that had no intention of leaving anytime soon :). sangini and vik, thank you for having us along to be apart of your fantastic wedding, i hope the long wait for this blog was worth it.

hera and colin had an incredible armenian ceremony surrounded by stunning white marble and gold accents. the vivid wedding included so many traditional aspects, where each of the acts performed during the service has a special meaning and significance. the ending of the ceremony includes the bride and groom being crowned, which represent glory and honor and they are now the king and queen of their own little kingdom! once we left the church we made a stop along the way for some fun portraits, and all got totally soaked by the fountain. their reception was so much fun, what a party. everyone joined in and danced the night away. colin gave one of the most touching speeches we have ever heard. everyone was in tears, including me! hera and colin had adorable mini cupcakes, a candy buffet and of course the most amazing middle eastern food…mmmm! we can’t wait to celebrate with them again at hera’s sister helen’s wedding coming up in just a few days :).
