Yes, according to an agreement reached between the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and the Coptic Orthodox Church in 2001.

The agreement obligates each Church to recognize the validity of a marriage performed in the other Church.
What are the key differences between orthodox marriage practices and modern marriage customs?

Can children be baptized Orthodox and Catholic?
No, because Christians can only be baptized once, as we say in the Creed: "I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins." The Pope has stated that he accepts all Orthodox baptisms as valid, but not all Orthodox churches accept Roman Catholic baptisms as being valid (because Catholics sprinkle with water, rather than fully immerse), so a child baptized in an Orthodox Church would be accepted as valid by both.

How do you get your marriage recognized by the Catholic Church?
All marriages between non-Catholics are recognized as valid by the Catholic Church. In case of non-Catholic baptized persons, all marriages (also civil marriages!) are recognized as sacramental marriages. In case of non-baptized people, they are recognized as valid, but not sacramental marriages. For baptized Catholics, there is a requirement of form in order to have a valid sacramental marriage. If you have married without observing these requirements or without getting a dispensation from the Church authorities, then your marriage is considered invalid. It can be recognized retroactively by the Church though, in a short ceremony which is called "sanatio in radice" (healing at the root). Ask your local Catholic pastor about it!
Does Catholic Church recognize validity of Episcopalian ordination?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church recognizes any legal marriage including the marriage between two baptized non Catholics before their own minister. It does recognize a marriage between two baptized non Catholics as a sacrament, as the individuals themselves perform the sacrament of marriage if they are both validly baptized, and non-Catholics are not bound by Canon Law (Church Law); so it would recognize Episcopalian marriages. The Church always assumes a valid legal marriage, even if it is not between baptized persons, but in that case it would not be a sacrament, although it would still be a legal marriage. A marriage is contracted between the spouses in Catholic sacramental theology. The minister is only a witness.
Is a marriage in a protestant church recognized by the Catholic church?
Roman Catholic AnswerAny marriage between two validly baptized Christians would be recognized unless one of the validly baptized Christians (or both) were Catholics in which case they would be bound by the marriage laws of the Church. It really depends on what you mean by "recognized".
