Thanks Mike and 2Wheel.

Holy Cow, I just noticed how crooked that church steeple looks. Yikes!!!!

Nice work!

 

[Trever1t]

Nice set!

I'm interested in your lighting setup (for the indoor shots like #43), care to share?

 

[bennielou]

Thanks guys!

Hey Trever, the lighting is a bit different in each photo. Some is no flash, all the ceremony is no flash, the couple photos had on camera flash, and the reception was on camera flash. Which photos would you like to know more about and I can give you more detailed info.

(BTW, this was the wedding I was talking about being so DARK! Not really the ceremony itself, but the reception was a cave as far as lighting. At first they had the lights on, but then they turned them off, and it was lit by candlelight only. They had covered the tables and a lot of the walls in black fabric, so it sucked out all the flash pretty much. The walls were yellow, and the ceiling was about 60 foot high and maroon so no bouncing. It was a TOUGH reception. There were two videographers there who were also having a ton of problems).

Yes, #43 was the one that caught my eye. I'm shooting tomorrow in similar settings hence my question. Looks like you did real well with the available light.

On number 43:

That one tickles me because that is the groom's mom, and the guy she is dancing with is a family friend, and it totally looks like he's checking out her butt. LOL.

Anyhoo, normally I use my flash facing backwards (on a 35 mm, close up), but it was so dark that I pointed my flash 2/3s forward. I use my flash at 2/3 power, as to let some ambient leak in. Otherwise, especially in this setting, I would have had black backgrounds and washed out ghost like people.

Hope that makes sense. Like I said, it was a fly by the seat of your pants and constantly adjust kind of reception. I wish wedding coordinators would stop messing with the lights every 5 seconds.

Couple photos... you state OC flash. Obviously diffused.. bounce card?
