New York Greek Wedding Photographer and Sweet 16





Greek Wedding Photographer Dimitrios Panagos makes the comment that it is one thing to be a photojournalist and another to shoot like one. Many photographers who shoot weddings write that they shoot photojournalistic style, what does that mean? I have been a photojournalist for over 30 years. Can someone who shoots weddings on weekends (having a day job)consider himself a photojournalist? I ask that question. As a News Photographer you aquire these styles over the course of your career. The words are used very loosly, what can anyone believe? New York Greek Wedding Photographer, Dimitrios Panagos who photographs Greek Orthodox Weddings in New York and Long Island is up for the match. Wedding dates for 2009 are still available. Enjoy the Sweet 16 photos from this post. Katerina's Sweet 16 was shot here on Long Island at the Water Mill Inn in Smithtown.

Greek Orthodox Wedding Traditions, Stephana


The Crowning is the centerpiece of the Eastern Orthodox marriage ceremony. Garland wreaths are often fashioned into ornate crowns as a symbol of glory and honor. Crowns can also be made of orange blossom, myrtle leaves, semiprecious stones and metals, or threads of gold and crimson, which represent the royalty of marriage. The koumbaros presents the couple with two crowns joined by a white ribbon, symbolizing the couple's unity. The priest places the crowns on the couple's heads while they face the altar, then the koumbaros swaps the crowns on the couple's heads three times. According to ancient custom, the crowns are to stay with the couple for life (some couples are even buried in them!)
