Hanh + Ngan Wedding

Sunday afternoon, downtown of Tacoma, the rain was still sprinkling, it was cloudy an not much light. I don't call it good time for a photo shoot, but we couldn't push it back later because pictures and the album must be ready before the wedding at the end of July... it is like 2 more weeks!
I was quite tired from the two days wedding + working in the morning... but I told myself to leave the exhaustion at home and came in fully charged. I brought with me a camera and two lenses since I did not want to be weighted down by too many gears. I prefer to lightly pack for an engagement/out-door photo shoot where I have to constantly move. I shoot the entire session with the mysterious Canon 50mm 1.2 L, and it did not disappoint me at all. It helped me come over the poor light and not much interesting background, and brought in a dramatic look to all the images... love it!
The first time that I met Hanh and Ngan together was little over a month ago for a consultation; they are a very cute couple. They are both fun and outgoing. During the photo shoot, I was scare to get her dress dirty sometime, but she was willing to do it all. Ngan, I appreciate that...
We finished the shoot in two hours, and yes I had to rush myself to finish editing all the images within 2 days. The album was just sent out to be printed last night. I paid extra for shipping and hope that the album will arrive sometime in next week.
And here are my favorites!
