Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church Weddings In Dayton Ohio

September 5, 2024

On one of the hottest days of the year in Dayton, Ohio, I photographed a truly great wedding at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. This was my third Greek wedding and my 236th overall. There were several factors that made the day great, with the couple being the best. The heat wave kept us mostly indoors, but the A/C held up.

This Great Couple

This couple was the most communicative I’ve ever had. They provided all the details I needed, and my pre-wedding worksheet was brimming with info. I knew every detail of the timeline, the other vendor info, and every photo she wanted. The icing on the cake was the couple was very photogenic. I knew this going in from their engagement session at Cox Arboretum.

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church Wedding Reception

This was only the second wedding reception I had been to in the community center at the church. It is very convenient and spacious. There is a spacious, albeit hot kitchen for the catering staff. The DJ was perched on the stage, where he commanded everyone’s attention. Plenty of space for the bartender was nice as well. It isn’t every wedding where there is ample space for the wedding vendors. My favorite aspect of the reception hall was the half-dome windows with views of the church dome and room.

Dayton’s Greek Orthodox Church Is Perfect For A Wedding Ceremony

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church of Dayton Ohio also known as Dayton’s Greek Orthodox Church, on the hill overlooking downtown Dayton, is one of the most beautiful churches to have a wedding in the Dayton region.  Below are a few of the images I captured in this elegant church on the hill behind the Dayton Art Institute. Although the exterior is nice, the interior is infinitely more beautiful. It is opulent and compact.

Dayton photographers may not have had the chance to photograph this hidden gem near the Dayton Masonic Center. If you get a chance to take a look, do so. If you get a chance to photograph a wedding here, jump at it. I will say that when we arrived, no worker was at the church, so we had to wait a while in the parking lot.

Here is my pro tip for Greek Orthodox weddings: Be sure to talk with the wedding couple and officiant because the ceremony is different than those in other denominations.

Testimonial Review Update After The Wedding

“You couldn’t make a better choice than Kevin Lush Photography. So professional and so easy to work with. Most importantly though, he captured our wedding perfectly. I love how our pictures turned out and I couldn’t recommend him more!” – Lisa P. Lisa was one of my favorite brides ever. She was fun and the photos turned out beautifully.
