Armenian wedding ceremony was taking part in the monastery on San Lazzaro Island in Venice. It is a small island in the Venetian Lagoon that is a cultural treasure for Armenians. The monastery was built in 1717, and it is full of historical and religious gems. The monks of the monastery were producing historical manuscripts that became a famous collection all over the world. Napoleon was impressed by the work of the monks and encouraged their operation like an Academy. Another famous person that took interest on the island is an English poet Lord Byron. He spent some period of his life at San Lazzaro studying Armenian culture and language.

Wedding photography tips for bride and groom

Everything is possible during the wedding, the most important thing that you are enjoying your day. Here are some tips for wedding photography:
Have a trial with your makeup and hair artist. It happens that the bride is not happy with her makeup or hair styling, and she wastes time that could be used for taking photos.
In order to understand what appeals you, create a board on Pinterest, pin 10 pictures from my website and 5 images from others websites. Then share the board with me via the email.
Finalize your time scheduling as soon as possible and send it to me through the email.
Learn how to tie a tie before your wedding day.
Ask the florist to bring you flowers before your wedding photographer starts working.
If there are no windows in your preparation room you can prepare candles creating a romantic mood.
Prepare a vase for the flowers. Think about some additional nice wedding props that you would like to use.
Please prepare comfortable shoes for walking outside. I don't mean flip-flops.
Ask your guests not to cover your wedding photographer in order to take pictures with their phones and tablets.
When you are putting the ring on your partner's hand, don't cover it. Stop for 3 seconds in the middle of the finger and then go ahead.

Armenian wedding ceremony

wedding-photographer-venice

The ceremony in the church lasts about 1 hour. Armenian wedding is full of rituals with special meaning and significance. After being blessed by the priest, the couple exchange the wedding rings. During the exchange of the rings and later during the wedding ceremony the right hands of the groom and the bride are joined to show the reunion of the couple.

The most significant moment is the crowning ritual. The crowns symbolize the glory with which God blesses the bride and the groom. They become a queen and a king of their new little kingdom. The rite of crowning is followed by the sharing of the cup of wine. That means that from this moment and for all their life they will share everything. At the end of the ceremony the priest blesses the couple. He asks Christ to protect the couple.

The ceremony ends with signing the documents. After you can take some pictures with your Venice wedding photographer in the church and outside on the island. The church is a real gem with magnificent big ancient stained glass windows.San Lazzaro monastery is a magical location for a wedding ceremony. I'm sure that it's very important to capture carefully all moments of this amazing ritual. Let me memorize your wedding forever.

Wedding photography in Venice

After the ceremony we got back with the bride and the groom to the main part of Venice by water taxi. Book a wooden boat that looks nicer than a white one. It is not cheap but it's worth it. We can take a lot of beautiful pictures from the water boat with some famous backgrounds like Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square, church Santa Maria della Salute without crowds on the background.The other thing "must have" is a gondola ride with your Venice wedding photographer. Gondolas don't go so fast as taxies but you will feel like Venetians some centuries ago. You can book a violinist that will create a unique atmosphere for you.
