Hutton Wedding - Part 3

11.09.08 - Scituate, Mass. - We popped over to the Scituate lighthouse for some portraits. I was worried about this, but fortunately the weather was great (for November) and the light was beautiful. Dom helped me out with a bit of fill flash.

Then we hopped over to the reception and merriment ensued.

Used a bit of flash on the back of her shoulder (you can see it in the face). Not significant, but adds a bit of depth. Still developing my flash skills, and this was a good place to start. I like the Zamboni in the background as well. 
Double axel!

No, it's not a Child of Light; it is an over-exposed white shirt in some nice light. An "almost moment."
Each child was given an award for having their parents deployed. Pretty cool; jealous I never got one.  
Senator...
More fun with light. 
More moments.
