Exchange of Vows

The wedding last night was wonderful. It was very small, included just family and a few select friends caravaned by four vehicles to the Tanana River 40 miles out Chena Hot Springs Road.

I wore many layers and still forgot to grab my boots. My hands were warm enough slipping in and out of my beefy mittens (hard to hold the camera with beefy mittens let alone adjust the aperture), but my toes got a bit cold. A sacrifice made gladly for the bride and groom.

The ceremony was performed by the couple’s pastor in a circle of torches, which had worried me initially. It’s not easy to shoot a wedding lit only by torch.

I didn’t get a lot of good pictures because of the larger shutter speeds and everyone refusing to stand like statues during the ceremony, but I am happy with what did come out. In one, the groom looks like he is breathing fire onto the pastor’s wife. I hope they frame it.
