Jeanne and I went to a wedding Saturday afternoon at St. Luke’s Methodist Church.  I’ll be the first to admit I really dislike weddings.  This one started at 3:00 pm and then the reception was at 6:00 pm.  I have to admit I enjoyed the event and thought it was a beautiful wedding and a great reception.

Doctor Julia Brimeyer (was a classmate of Angie) married Matthew Hensch (a mechanical engineer.)  I see some serious smarts in that family   Anyway I shot the above image at 3200 ISO, which gave me a shutter speed of 1/80 sec.  Unfortunately there was a lot of light coming in through the windows , which gave me fits so I tried spot metering.  I was messing around with my settings and my spousal unit was getting a little upset with me.    Also I took the wrong lens ( I should have taken the 24-70 mm lens.)  I pretty well decided that I don’t want to do weddings from a photography standpoint.

This is my friend Sara Albert.  Sara goes to our church and is one of the sweetest people I know.  She always has a smile and is always the first to say let’s do it.  She loves to dance and was busting some pretty groovy moves on the dance floor.  Did I say “groovy?”  That sort of dates me doesn’t it.

Angie and Ben were at our table along with some other great friends so it was a fun evening.  Here they are posing  for another picture from one of their friends.  Joshua got to stay home with his other Grandparents.  I think the loud music and all the other noise would have overloaded him.

So that’s it for today.  Don’t tell Jeanne I had a good time or she’ll expect me to go to some other weddings.  Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy the week and be careful.
