Rebecca and John - Seattle and Wenatchee Wedding Photography

We had planned on blogging this wedding earlier but weren't exactly sure how to go about blogging it.  The couple is awesome and the wedding was different from most any that we had shot.  It was New Year's Eve, it was a Masquerade Theme, and we shot most photos from 8pm-2am.

Since it was a very unique wedding, I wanted to blog it a little different than we have in the past.  Here are some images of the couple that were shot on location with a room full of waiting guests.  We snuck around using alternate stairways and exits.  We like to shoot almost all available light so we had to get a creative, and use all that was available to us.  Did I mention it was bitter cold out that night?  So we weren't going to be outside for long.  

The First Look - On the balcony which was really pretty dark except this cool light reflecting off the walls in the corner (just like behind the bride).

Did I mention it was bitter cold?  We didn't get very far from the building...

These were shot downstairs in the basement with only the wall lights on to backlight the bride and groom.  The lighting was horrible down there so we killed the main lights, and this is what we got.  I love the way they ended up turning out.

We did the "first look" up stairs on the balcony, then we snuck out front, then downstairs and we were almost done but I wanted just a little more...  We needed a place where we had awesome, soft, side lighting and where most people couldn't fit to take photos over my shoulder.  I had been wondering why there were still Christmas trees up on New Year's Eve until right now.  We snuck over and put them between the wall and the Christmas tree to see what we could get.

The light from the Christmas tree was all we needed to make the next few images.
