Always goes easier when you've got a great looking bride. Taken yesterday, just a teaser ..........
Canon 70D - no flash
If you want to shoot great images, shoot great subjects!
Thank you for sharing! S-

BC, what amazes me is that you posed them under a tree with dappled light, but perfectly avoided the bright spots on the faces. Really great job here!
Oh, and yes, you were blessed with a very good looking couple.

I call them the 'blotchies'
I'll post some using the speed lights sometime this week

Looking forward to it. I still need to post some of that engagement shoot at the convent. The bride just ordered 22 prints, 1 canvas, and an album of just the engagement photos. I'm looking forward to seeing what she'll want from the wedding.

Open dancing at the reception. That isn't the rim light in the back, it's the key light, I was just way off axis but it still gave me good light. I was pretty happy once I dialed it in, could pretty much snap away anywhere without changing a thing on the exposure, just snap, snap and snap :)

My first try at multi-flash during a reception. The few prior to this were all on-camera flash
On the dancing photo, the only problem I see is the white outline on the back of his blue jacket, and the woman's head made hard shadow line on his throat and chin.
On the First photo, I guess your assistant was holding on to your legs as a counter balance. LOL Good shoot. A well done on that.

The white outline is rim light being supplied by the Key light, it isn't a PP issue, it was meant to be like that. The shadow is what it is, this isn't pose time, it's all candid and you get what you get. Don't forget the bride is the star and in that 2nd picture she is beautiful and the lighting was just fine.

if we aren't flooded out of our August wedding, I was going to do the same set up with having a room light in a fixed location. I have one of those strobies globe diffusers for one of my flashes. It will be my first attempt at leaving one light stationary. I'm hoping for good results. If I don't get what I want, worst case, I'll just go back to what I'm used to.
Even if your key light was off axis, dialing it down gave some nice effect. I even thought about adding a gel to the room light to see if I could get some neat effects.
Thanks for sharing. I think the dance floor shot is wonderful. I agree that non posed shots are what they are, and shadows are just a part of it all.
