Stephanie and Stephen’s Wedding (Reception) – Victoria, BC

August 26, 2009

On Saturday, August 22nd, my right hand man Phil and I shot a wedding reception for Stephanie and Stephen. They hired a photographer to shoot the ceremony and formals and asked my friend to shoot the reception. I volunteered to shoot the reception so that my friend could relax and have fun, instead of struggling to get the right exposure in a dark hall.   The official photographer ended up sticking around longer than agreed, which was very nice of him, and we tried to stay out of his way. I had a lot of fun shooting this spirited crowd.   I loved the bridal party’s classic gangster style suits and black satin dresses.   The bride and groom looked amazing as well and there were some really impressive dancers in the crowd.  Phil and I got some images that I really love, and I hope you’ll love them too.
