The Sterling's Wedding

Courtney and Mat are friends and co-workers of mine and invited me to their wedding.  I didn't think I would make it as I have a 1 year old and full-time job but things worked out and I managed to show up! (still had to work that day but I had a 2 hour window where I could hang out). 
More after the jump...

Of course I brought my camera just in case I had the opportunity to take a couple photo's of the lovely couple.  The wedding was on Sunday and at the Tacoma courthouse.  So we had to wait for the judge to show up and let us in(building was closed on Sunday).  Here's a couple I took while we waited.

 

So 12:01 rolled around and bride was getting nervous....


The judge finally showed up. It took three elevators to get everyone upstairs into the courtroom.


From then on it was all seriousness.




Ok.  I forgot how fun weddings are!  The whole thing was a blast.  I sorta went crazy taking pictures!  Couldn't help myself.  They already had a photographer but she didn't mind me snapping a few(I asked). And never anger the bride or family....



Ok ok.  Here are the more serious ones! :)



 



I have to admit the courthouse wasn't the easiest location to shoot.  Lots of clutter. Lighting was a challenge and I left my extra strobes at home.  But it worked out in the end.  

Afterwords we went to the Tacoma Glass museum to snap a few portraits.  The light was much more forgiving here and gave me a chance to get creative.  There were plenty of beautiful landmarks around however the sky was so beautiful I couldn't help but focus on it.  



Of course when it looks like the rainclouds are closing it it's time to go.


Thank you so much for inviting me!   Congratulations and I can't wait to take some baby pictures for you guys!


Running out of room on my flickr for photos(really gotta upgrade to a pro-account). I'll be sending Mr and Mrs. Sterling a copy of the CD since there are many more photos. All the photos on this page are also on my http://www.flickr.com/borys4
