A Greek Baptism

I feel so lucky to live in a city of so many cultures, and even more lucky to be asked to document the events of these cultures. Starting with an Indian wedding to a Jewish holiday dinner to an Italian birthday party to a Greek Baptism, and lots in between, it certainly has been a fascinating year so far!

Below are some of the still images and the slide show from the Greek Baptism. I had never photographed a Greek Baptism before and found the tradition of it so beautiful. I have included a link to some information about the ceremony.

After the ceremony the family celebrated, Greek style!!! You often hear on TV and read in magazines about how long the Greeks live with their healthy diets. Well, add to that lots of love and dancing! The reception for this little baby was more exciting than some people's weddings!!!
























Oh, and the money. Well the band gets it all! OPA!!
