Gilda and Fady’s wedding day was truly uniqe in its combination of two families cultures and traditions. They had two separate ceremonies at two churches - a Coptic (Egyptian) ceremony and a Catholic mass.
The ceremonies began with the wedding service at Fady’s church. The Coptic churches are especially beautiful to photograph with their rich detailed settings and fascinating rituals.

This was followed by a traditional Philippine Catholic mass at Gilda’s church.

Gilda and Fady’s wedding reception was held at The Valley Regency here in NJ.

especially nice lighting/composition on that last shot!
very nice set of photos. the last image is quite nostalgic. if the scene was completely dark then i am baffled as to how it was lit.
Hi there Angelo ..
Thank you for the nice compliment.
The lighting was from the on-location spotlights.
I didn’t use flash or use additional lighting.
thanks
Neil.
Love that last shot, the lighting is spectacular.
