elk grove belvedere wedding :: despina + vito

If I could only have one word to describe Despina + Vito’s wedding, it would be fabulous. Yes. FABULOUS! Everything about their big day was beyond fabulous. From Despina’s gorgeous Demetrios dress to her glamourous bling bouquet to the dapper tuxes and bow ties, Despina + Vito’s wedding day was a truly elegant, modern affair.

Dee + Vito – Thank you so much for having me document everything about your day. It was such an honor to be there to see the joy, love and tears. I wish you and your family nothing short of happiness and tons of love in the years to follow.

I met Despina when I was 6-years-old at Wesley Elementary School together. She is and always has been kind-hearted, easy going and beyond sweet. Yet beneath all of that is a very strong, brave lady.Special thanks to Jill Tiongco for the next two photos below (and all the groom prep photos in the slideshow). You know you are good at your job when you can get 19 groomsmen to listen to you!It my short time with Despina + Vito, I could feel the love that these two share. It radiates from their eyes when they sneak little glances at each other. And when an outsider can see that, you know there that something special between the couple.Despina …. you are so gorgeous. Inside and out.

In lieu of favors, Despina and Vito made a donation in honor of Despina’s cousin, Louie, who recently passed away.I’ll leave you with one more that is just too sweet for words……
