Mary and Andrew: A Wedding on the Spirit of Ethan Allen

RH8_8081-E

Mary and Andrew were married in August in St Albans.  Their wedding was traditional in that it was a Catholic mass and this posed the usual challenges for me.  Low light was the rule in the church and the D800e was up to the high iso needed.  The pictures from the ceremony here were at ISO 6400.  Mary is really into pictures and we did formals in three different locations.  Inside the church, outside the church and on the waterfront in Burlington.  Their reception was on the Spirit of Ethan Allen and since I have done weddings there before, I knew to expect the tight quarters.  The previous times we had grey skies and this night wasn't shaping up for anything different when we embarked.  During the dinner I saw the skies starting to break as the sun went down.  I grabbed Mary and Andrew and we headed for the bow of the boat.  The crew of the Spirit is always really accommodating and they not only turned the boat for the best background, they allowed us to shoot in the bridge.  The night was capped by a sparkler send-off which is not very common here in the North but getting back to shore at the end of the night was a perfect time for one.
