Maria & Angelo

Story time!! Settle in....

Once upon a time {about 2.5 years ago} my beautiful sister, Alesha, messed up a home hair dye job {actually she does that all the time. This time was just the latest..} and wandered into a salon to get it fixed. She was paired up with a petite, sassy little thing named Maria. 

Since we had become such great friends with our fabulous photographer, Kortnee, we were all hanging out one night and Kort shouted {she does that..} "Alesha! I Looooove your hair! Who does it?" She then recommended Maria who promptly rocked Kort's hair.

As soon as Maria got engaged she snagged Kort as her photographer and met me and Rick at Kortnee's booth at bridalrama. Maria called me and we set up a meeting to talk about her needs. We totally hit it off and we dove right into the planning. That was about a two years ago and I've been putting of this post because it means the wedding is over :( 

To say that Rick and I loved working with Maria & Angelo would be a complete understatement. I actually can't even put it into words. After working with Maria on every detail and talking to her at least once a week for 18 months, I truly miss our time together. I guess I should also mention that this was our first {but hopefully not last!!} greek wedding. And oh.my.goodness we loooooved it. The love and respect for family flows through every single detail and completely wraps around you.
