Jenny and I got a night off last week to go to Sodo Park for ‘We Heart Sharlane‘, a benefit for a local photographer, Sharlane Chase, who was diagnosed with cancer last year. Though I haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting Sharlane face to face, we wanted to go because we are deeply committed to supporting other photographers, especially when they are in need.
Mary and Chris are expecting their first child in early April, shortly after Juju’s second birthday. They have become good friends of ours since they moved to the area last autumn, and we’re sure that their son and Juju will become good friends as well.
Chris was held up at work, so we got a bit of a late start on the shoot — we only had about 45 minutes of light before it was completely gone, but I’ve gotten used to working under pressure as a wedding photographer. I’d say that the lack of time worked in our favor in this instance. Towards the end, I was shooting between 1600 – 3200 iso, @ f/1.2 – 1.4, 1/5 – 1/30 exposure — really maxing out my gear.
Without further ado, I present the Saia Weddings promo, guaranteed to make you smile. I’ve watched it near 100 times and I can’t help but smile wider with each viewing.
