Maria and Justin were married at the beautiful Transfiguration of Christ Greek Orthodox Church in Mattituck NY on the North Fork of Long Island.

This gorgeous little church is truly a visual feast for the eyes.

I L O V E  photographing wedding ceremonies and theirs was no exception…honoring faith, tradition and steeped in profound symbolism.

Their wedding reception was held at the Vineyard Caterer’s also known as The Vineyards in Aquebogue NY.
