We had the pleasure of photographing Pierre and Lena’s elegant ballroom wedding in San Francisco. They are ridiculously in love and it shows in every picture. We meet them back in February for their engagement shoot and right then and there we knew that we were in for a real treat at their wedding. The camera seriously loves them and they know it!
Pierre is Palestinian and Lena is Armenian, both of them are very passionate about their cultural heritage and they wanted to express that in every aspect of the wedding. We have photographed several Armenian weddings now and every time we are blown away by the generosity and energy of the family and guests. The ceremony was held at the gorgeous St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Diamond Heights, San Francisco followed by the cocktail hour and reception at The Westin San Francisco Airport in Millbrae. Lena is also a very talent dancer and she surprised Pierre with a traditional Armenian bride’s dance. They hired Sweet & Crafty to help them with the design and coordination and in the end, the entire day was full of love, family, elegance and grace.
