I want to become a society lady Rockin' a new rock?!

We love that actress Gloria Votsis (of White Collar and The Education of Charlie Banks to name a few) celebrated her wedding to Scott is a very private and beautifully intimate backyard reception. They tied the knot in a gorgeous Greek Orthodox church and celebrated the night away with close friends and Gloria’s big, Greek family. Alixann Loosle Photography did a lovely job of capturing the striking bride and all the personal moments of the Gloria and Scott’s big day.

From the photographer: I shot this wedding last summer in Rochester, New York. When the lovely actress, Gloria Votsis contacted me regarding her intimate backyard wedding, I could tell by her love of dinner parties and event decor that the event would be perfect. She let me know they decided not to hold the wedding in LA because they wanted to go for more of a home-grown, backyard feel. The wedding consisted of only close friends and her big Greek family. I loved that they included traditions like breaking the bread and Greek line dancing at the wedding. All the details were sweet, intimate, and close to Gloria’s heart.
