As photographers we often look back on images from weddings we’ve shot and ask ourselves “what if I had focused on this instead of that?” Or “man, wouldn’t it have been cool if I had shot it from over here?” But I’ve never seen anyone actually get to try executing these theories because no one ever gets to shoot the same exact wedding twice.

While this remains true, Mary and Dan’s Egyptian Coptic wedding was as close to Reta & George’s as any two weddings I’ll probably ever shoot will be, and it was such an awesome experience and a unique opportunity to shoot two weddings for the exact same family at the same church and same reception venue just two months apart!

Both couples are among the sweetest, most kind-hearted people I’ve ever met, and I’m eternally grateful to have been given the opportunity (along with my awesome second photographer Jim!) to not only get to work with them and learn about yet another new-to-me religion, but get to know them as well. Thanks again, guys, and I hope you enjoy the photos!
