Last weekend was busy. Huskies beat the Cougars, Ducks beat the Beavers, and Seahawks beat the Panthers. While all of this great football was happening, two people ended a mere two week engagement with a lovely wedding in Puyallup. That’s right, they planned a wedding in two weeks.
The groom, Phil, is a buddy who owns Troubadour Studios (a couple recording/practice spaces in Auburn) decided one day that he could no longer stand not having Lori (a lovely UW grad with a heart of gold) as his wife. He proposes and two weeks later BOOM… man and wife.
The ceremony took place at night by candlelight in a little chapel in Puyallup. It was absolutely beautiful and intimate for the audience, but a HUGE challenge for my camera. Shooting with only one camera body, I was forced to take most of the photos with my fixed 50mm f/1.2 lens. The exposure (for the most part) turned out just okay, but the variation of shots was a HUGE challenge. While it may not have been easy to adjust the frame, it forced me to move around more and try for some interesting shots. While not my best work, I feel good about the result given the rough conditions.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few more photos. Perhaps enough for another full blog post, we’ll see. I still have to share the most viewed photos of the year; something I look forward to reviewing at the end of each year. Stay tuned!!!
