This is Adriane and Brian, or, maybe you know them by their “slot names”, Buzz and Vernice. They got married ten years ago, in a small backyard wedding, with Brian in shorts and Adriane without a white dress. Very few friends were there. So for their tenth wedding anniversary, they decided to throw a party for their friends and family–for the few that had been at the original wedding, but even more so for those who couldn’t, and for all the new friends they have made of the last ten years.

The arranged for their celebration to be in the Fox Theater in Spokane, which was cool for me, because I shot the very last wedding in the Fox before it was closed for its restoration, and this was the first time for me to shoot there again (verdict? Much cleaner). I was under explicit instruction to shoot lots of their friends and family, because while they were celebrating their marriage, they also wanted this to be a celebration of those who were most important to them. You can see some of the photographs from their anniversary celebration here.
