A Warm & Joyful Byzantine Catholic Wedding


This wedding day was filled with so much warmth, energy, laughter, and love. From the beautiful Byzantine Catholic traditions at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to the incredible family surrounding the couple, I felt genuinely welcomed and honored to be there to capture it all.


There was such a wonderful sense of togetherness that made the entire celebration feel incredibly meaningful. The love and joy shared between the couple and their families made every moment special.


Even though the air quality was unfortunately pretty terrible that day, we did not let it keep us from stepping outside for some beautiful portraits. We made the most of the conditions, and I am so glad we did. The couple’s joy and connection still came through beautifully.


It was an absolute honor to document such a heartfelt celebration and to be welcomed so warmly by this wonderful family. These are the wedding days that remind me why I love what I do.
