Our good friend was married this past weekend. It was a great wedding. Personally, I was excited about this wedding because many of my friends were going to be there and I had absolutely no important jobs to do. It was so nice to not OFFICIATE anything or be the OFFICIAL photographer.
[nearly all of these images were shot with my favorite lens, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4]
I was with my gorgeous bride, Allison.
Our housemates, Ryan and Carrie were there.
I don’t know what’s wrong with him.
I was going to shave…really, I was. I’ve been running late to a lot of things lately.
My beautiful sister-in-law, Andrea.
Andrea’s husband, Chris.
Sisters from the same mister.
Allison’s cousin, Laura. She looks so great I actually debated photoshopping out the beer bottle.
Our next-door neighbor buddy, Mike.
Our next-door neighbor buddy, Lindsay.
James with my brother-in-law, Chris. James is our cousin Laura’s husband. I’m going to beat his face in soon. We’re buying some boxing gloves and we intend to pound on each other…well…me more than him. James was a soldier in Iraq and I can’t wait for the bragging rights once I’ve smashed his face thoroughly. Watch your back James. Watch it. Man, I am going to hit you so hard.
The Bride and Groom:
Sarah and Brett. Sarah is 6 feet tall and I think she might be the shortest person in her family. Her dress was custom-made by a friend of hers in the wedding party. She looked stunning.
Sarah’s brother is 7 feet tall. Yes, I’m serious. He made me nervous just being in my proximity.
The above bridesmaid fainted during the wedding ceremony and hit the ground with an impressive thud. Later in the evening, the DJ didn’t show up to the reception as he had double-booked and didn’t realize it until that night. Other than those couple of snafus, a blast was had by all.
[the above 2 images were shot with my Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 fisheye lens]
Aww…look at Allison’s pregnant belly! Only 7 more weeks to go. Will it be Scarlett or Finley??
First to comment! (what no pics of James doing the worm?)

I have to know, what did they do about a DJ? Whip out someone’s ipod? And obviously the bridesmaid turned out okay, but did she have a bump on her head?
{reply}
I hope it’s a Scarlett! I don’t think the world can get enough of precious baby girls.
I have three, I should know

I’m 7 months pregnant with a baby girl. Ask your wife where she got her dress, love it. Thanks!
{reply}

Fish Eye to you… is a lens….
Fish Eye in my family …
was something your Mom gave you when you were misbeahaving… and she didn’t want to draw attention to the situation…
You had better straighten up or there was heck to pay at home !!!
Just Saying…

Marcy, in our family, we just called it “The Look.” I’m over 40 years old and my Mom can still stop me with the Look.
I LOVE the photos of Allison, and can’t wait for the baby! What did you decide about the middle name, or is it a surprise for us?
{reply}
You look pretty sweet in those shades, and I really don’t know what is wrong with Ryan Doan but he made me laugh so hard I thought I might pee my pants! You guys were so much fun on the dance floor! I wish there were pics of that!
{reply}
Oh and Jen was just discriminated against one more time by you cutting her out of the pic! Can’t that girl catch a break?
{reply}
I looove wedding photos! The fisheye shots rock. Also love Allison’s preggy belly. So cute.

Stacey…I’m not sure where the dress came from, my sister bought it when she was pregnant and we just pass our maternity stuff back and forth to one another (lucky me). Dresses are the best when you’re pregnant and it’s hot outside
The wedding was a blast- love all the pictures Rye.

Would you tell me why you picked the Sigma 30mm instead of the Nikon? Just curious. Love the photo of Allison by the way. I hope the baby is a Finley!
{reply}
Love pictures at weddings.
{reply}
Beautiful pictures of beautiful people. I had a brother-in-law who was 7′ tall and my husband was 6’8″. and three more brothers-in-law ranging from 6’3″ to 6’7″.
{reply}
Those photos capture – *really* capture – what a wedding should be like. The pleasure is palpable.
{reply}
What a beautiful wedding! And I hope Allison’s baby is a girl- my own name is Scarlett and I have always loved having an unusual name. One more pretty baby with it definitely won’t hurt!

Helped information for me, because i need this thread. Thanks
