Kristina and Chris’ wedding was a celebration of love, tradition, and family, capped off with a vibrant reception at Fort Wayne’s iconic Coliseum. From their Chicago engagement session to their heartfelt wedding day, their journey has been a joy to capture. Be sure to read about their Chicago engagement session here, where their love story unfolded amidst the city’s charm.

A Day Rooted in Tradition

The day began at Kristina’s parents’ house, where the couple honored their Greek heritage with meaningful traditions. Kristina got ready surrounded by her family, taking part in many special Greek customs. Kristina and family members participated in various Greek traditions as the home before heading to the ceremony. This intimate moment set the stage for the day, filling it with warmth and love. Soon after, Kristina made her way to the church for the Greek Orthodox ceremony. As they arrived, anticipation grew. The ceremony itself was a heartfelt testament to their love and faith, with Kristina glowing as she walked down the aisle, while Chris couldn’t take his eyes off her.

The Coliseum: A Perfect Reception Space

Once the vows were exchanged, it was time to celebrate. The Coliseum proved to be the perfect venue for their lively Greek wedding reception. Its spacious layout easily accommodated the dynamic energy of the night. From the expansive circle dances to a live Greek band that kept the dance floor packed, everyone had a fantastic time. We were thrilled to capture such a vibrant and joyful night. Moreover, the high ceilings and open floor plan created an inviting atmosphere. Every guest could easily join in the festivities. The Coliseum was not just a venue—it became the heart of the celebration, amplifying the vibrant energy and making the evening truly unforgettable.

A Fusion of Modern and Traditional

Before heading to The Coliseum, we captured portraits at Electric Works. The industrial backdrop provided a modern contrast to the traditional elements of the day. This space created lively, dynamic shots that reflected the fun energy of the wedding party. These moments, full of laughter and joy, added another layer of personality to the day, blending both old and new as Kristina and Chris embarked on their new journey together.

Food, Family, and Joy

At the reception, Greek traditions took center stage, with lively music, dancing, and of course, delicious food. The highlight of the evening was the Greek cuisine, including the delectable desserts lovingly prepared by Kristina’s family. Baklava, custard-filled pastries, and other sweet treats filled the air with their rich flavors, symbolizing the care and thoughtfulness woven into every part of the celebration.

A Celebration to Remember

Kristina and Chris’ wedding was a beautiful blend of tradition, love, and celebration. From their meaningful ceremony to the lively reception at The Coliseum, every moment reflected the depth of their connection and the richness of their heritage.
