Danielle & Taso

Jun 23, 2008 Wedding

Danielle & Taso had the most beautiful wedding at the end of May! after getting to know Danielle & Taso from many great chats over yummy Caribou coffee

& their super fun engagement session, i knew that their wedding day was going to be such a BLAST! and that it was indeed! their friends & family are just as amazing & loving as these newlyweds -- it was so incredible to witness & document.

we first started off the day with Taso at his parent's home & then ventured onward to Danielle's. they had a gorgeous Greek ceremony filled with many wonderful traditions that took place at the Assumption Greek Church in St. Clair Shores. with a little bit of time, we made a quick pit stop at Blossom Heath for some fun outdoor photographs & then went onward to Barrister Gardens for some most AWESOME reception fun! they had a fantastic Greek band, Ellas, as well as dj Dan with Elite Entertainment -- this crowd danced until the very end of the night -- or early morning, should i say!?

there is also a slideshow with mannnny more images at the end of this post -- fyi!!!

Danielle & Taso --- !!!! i *heart* you both sooo much! i feel so lucky to have been able to share in & document these happy moments as you both start your life together. your love is contagious, pure & truly wonderful.

every time i have been with you both, i leave feeling happy & alive. thank you for that -- may you always continue to light up each other as you do all those that surround you!!! & finally.... your super big sneak peek! i am very excited to share it with you, you have no idea!!! enjoy.
