We all know an "Uncle Bob." He shows up to the wedding-family reunion-shower and stands just to the side with his own photography gear, trying to gank his own pictures from the actual event photographer's set-up. 

Let me introduce myself; my name is Jess "Uncle Bob" Tugas and I started my career as a shot stealer. Well, I started my photography career doing free shoots for my collegiate choir and some wedding shoots for friends, but since I was using a Kodak EasyShare, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT. 

(I know it looks like that guest is peeking in the window, but I assure you, she's just behind a railing. Meeting Houses are fun!)

To be honest, I'm not sure that there was a photographer at this intimate a wedding, but I got casual permission to catch photos from the sidelines of the event. I did my best, but looking back and knowing the glass I was using and the complete lack of knowledge in wielding it, I can tease out what went right and wrong with some of these shots. That said, while they are...crunchy, some of these shots are very charming and real. 

In honor of their eleventh (!) anniversary, here are some of my favorites from Steve & Annie's celebration at the Alna Meeting House and the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington Railway Museum!
