Orthodox
Wedding Photography,
by tradition.
Before you choose a photographer, it helps to understand the rite. An Orthodox Christian wedding is a sacrament in two parts, the Betrothal at the narthex and the Crowning at the tetrapod, sealed by the Dance of Isaiah, three times around. It is essentially the same sacrament across Greek, Russian, and Antiochian parishes, with its own customs in each. Here is what happens, and what to look for in the person who photographs it.
