My good and long time friends, Russell and Suzy finally tied the knot on the 24th in Redmond, WA. It was a relatively small wedding, with both the ceremony itself and the reception taking place at the Clise Mansion in Marymoor Park.  I teamed up with my good friend and fellow photographer Tanya Jose, since we’re both friends of Russell and Suzy and this would be our joint wedding gift for them.  I started out the day with the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D that I purchased from Josh Mackey, and then let Tanya use it for the rest of the day.  I then switched over to my venerable Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8, which remained on the camera throughout the wedding and reception.  Special thanks again to Wence Estrada for helping with the lighting.

Tanya and I decided to split up the wedding photo duties, with myself taking all of the main posed photos and wide angle shots, while she kept the 50mm on her camera for the short telephoto and candids.  She said she’d be processing her photos as soon as I finished mine, so I’ll be posting up a link to her photos as soon as she has them ready.  The D300 worked great as already proven, and shooting at ISO2000 in the very dimly-lit room proved to be perfectly fine.  Without further ado, here is a link to the galleries:

Congratulations once again to Russell and Suzy!  I’m sure I’ll see both of you two soon 🙂
