They had great weather and great friends on their day. This was my first wedding shooting with the Canon 35mm 1.4 lens. Thanks to Sean Dorgan for pushing me over the edge to buy it! It’s such a perfect event lens when paired with the 5D Mk2. It has great versatility for almost every type of shot and keeps things light and free. I plan on using it a a lot!

All the shots below were shot with the 35/1.4 on the 5Dmk2 using existing light. I’ll have Peggy and Keith’s full blog post in a month. Stay tuned!
