Ruth Terrero Photography - Boho Chic Wedding!

Five years ago I decided to begin my photography journey and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. What I love the most about photography is the ability to capture life’s meaningful moments creatively and relive them.

Boho Chic Wedding

While I've always had a burning passion for photography, I used to view it just as a hobby. I ignored my instincts and got a Bachelor's Degree in International Business and Marketing. Going to school while working at a bank and running my photography business on the side.

I aspired to have a corporate leadership role. I would picture myself in the corner office with big windows wearing pant suits 24/7. It was not until I got a corporate job that I realized that this was not my true calling. Then I decided to leverage my business and marketing knowledge to become a full time Wedding Photographer.

As a photographer, I get to meet awesome people, creatively capture the world through my lens, and help couples leave a legacy of love for the future generations. One of those awesome couples is Valeria & Niko. They had a Greek Orthodox Wedding in Tarpon Springs, Florida and a lovely Boho Chic Style Reception. It was my first time shooting a Greek Orthodox wedding. I had no idea the treat I was in for!

The ceremony was at St. Nicholas Cathedral. The Cathedral is decorated with beautiful wall paintings, colorful stained glass windows, gorgeous chandeliers and swoon worthy details.

The crowning, the holding of the candles, the walk around the altar and all the Greek ceremony traditions have such great meaning in the marriage unity. The joy in Niko & Val's faces was priceless. 

Afterwards, the reception took place at Tarpon Springs Yacht Club. It featured succulent plants, rustic details and a beaming full moon... Boho Chic Heaven! This wedding had the perfect mix of nature and architecture,

Last year, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Italy and was bitten by the travel bug. Now I'm looking to combine my love for photography and my love for traveling by photographing destination weddings.

Greece is one of the countries that I visited while studying abroad and this Greek Orthodox Wedding is the perfect segue into Greek Weddings. I love what I do and can't wait to do this for the rest of my life!
