While I was not the official photographer at this wedding, I thought I’d bring the Nikon D700 and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 along with me to practice my detail shots. It’s always a challenge as a photographer, you’re always itching to take pictures and look for that next awesome shot. The real challenge, however, is balancing this with your guest status. You’ve got to tone down the picture taking a lot, otherwise your date won’t be happy with you because you have a camera permanently glued to your face.

We loved this wedding. My wife went to high school with Uyen, who is an absolute darling. I went to college with Tim and met him through my friend Joe. Putting Uyen and Tim together is like uniting Captain Planet’s rings and summoning the great green mullet superh… no, I’m terrible with analogies. The point is, they are so good together. Just watching them interact you “can feel the love tonight”.

Here are just a few pictures that I snapped as a guest, everything was splendidly gorgeous. Details everywhere.

Had a little too much fun with the photobooth…
