Daniella & Gordie’s Greek Wedding at The Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas

A Celebration of Culture, Legacy & Luxury

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that blends timeless tradition with modern elegance, Daniella and Gordie’s unforgettable day at the Ritz-Carlton in Las Colinas is the perfect inspiration.

As one of the first weddings hosted at the newly transformed Ritz-Carlton (formerly the iconic Four Seasons Resort), their day was more than just a beautiful event — it was a celebration of heritage, family, and love, rooted deeply in Greek culture.

A Historic Venue with Modern Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton, Las Colinas

Nestled in the heart of Dallas, the Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas offers an extraordinary setting for couples seeking a luxury wedding venue with both elegance and exclusivity. From its sprawling grounds to refined interiors, this was the perfect backdrop for Daniella & Gordie’s timeless celebration.

As a Dallas wedding photographer, it was an honor to document a wedding at this venue so early in its next chapter — and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The natural light, architecture, and service create the perfect canvas for a classic yet editorial-style gallery.

A Greek Orthodox Ceremony Steeped in Tradition

Before their stunning reception, Daniella and Gordie exchanged vows at a Greek Orthodox church in Dallas. Greek Orthodox weddings are rich in symbolism and tradition, and their ceremony honored these sacred moments beautifully.

From the crowning (Stefana) to the ceremonial walk around the altar (Dance of Isaiah), every moment was deeply meaningful — not just for the couple, but for generations of family watching and remembering.

As a photographer with experience in Orthodox and cultural weddings, I always approach these moments with quiet observation, cultural sensitivity, and deep respect for their spiritual weight.

Honoring Greek Heritage Through Every Detail

Daniella and Gordie thoughtfully wove Greek elements throughout the entire day. Their wedding wasn’t just about two people getting married — it was about honoring where they came from.

Here are a few meaningful touches that made the day unforgettable:

Homemade Avgolemono Soup served during the dinner — a cherished recipe passed down from Daniella’s grandmother. It was more than a meal; it was legacy served in a bowl.
Olive branches and soft olive tones were used throughout the floral design — a beautiful nod to Greece’s natural beauty and symbolism of peace and prosperity.
Jordan almonds (Koufeta) were placed at each setting — a classic Greek wedding tradition representing both the sweetness and bitterness of marriage, wrapped in faith.

These thoughtful touches created a day that was not just visually stunning, but emotionally powerful.
