Urbana 09

Well, to say my life has been a little out of the ordinary lately would be an understatement. With all of my 2009 clients taken care of and my next wedding being this weekend, Tim and I have been tackling major home renovations (which are nearing completion) as well as visiting family for the holidays and photographing Urbana in St. Louis, all in the last month.

Urbana is a giant (17,000+) mission conference for college students that is put on by InterVarsity. Last year I helped out photographing InterVarsity's Greek Conference in Indy. I was thrilled that Tim and I were able to be a part of the photography team at Urbana. Working on a team was fun and essential to share the load of documenting such a huge event. The other fabulous photographers were Dave, Barry and Adam, who's wife just had her first book published. A special shout out to the other wedding photographers on the team, Wayne and Angela! You can check out their Urbana pics here.

Urbana felt like shooting 5 weddings in 5 days with very tricky lighting situations. It was great for me to have the challenge of shooting so much. Each day consisted of two large gatherings, hundreds of different break out sessions, manuscript study, a 200+ mission organization exhibit hall, and feeding 14,000ish people in 2 hours for dinner. It was incredible to see so many passionate people in one place that are committed to living purposefully.

Hi Megan and Tim! I'm surprised to see that my first Nikon picture made it to your blog :P It was so good to meet the both of you! After Urbana, we both slept until 2pm...and it felt awesome. Hope to see you again in the future!

I love all of your photographs! URBANA was a fantastic experience for me, and I can imagine it was for you, too! Is there an online album with any more pictures from the event?
