Last Sunday we did a Jewish wedding. Loved all the high energy and the cultural stuff ...
The whole wedding got a late start as the B& G arrived late by 45 minutes and of course it's up to the photogs to make up the time ... I did :)
Mind you it isn't fun playing catch up when one what's to be creative ...
Tough venue for reception lighting but I think I caught the fun that all at ....
I used no on-camera flash, just my new transmitter to trigger 2 Canon 600EX-RT off-camera speed lights. On blasting into an umbrella and the other mounted to a light, bare flash for rim ....
One off camera spped light sitting on a table. Bounced off the ceiling and some direct.

Well done.
Good control of shadows. Barely noticebale except for OCDs like me who go looking for it....lol
...and the fact I had to search shows they have no impact whatsoever on the image captured :-)

I hate harsh shadows, but shadows show depth. I actually dislike photos that have flat lighting that show no dimension.
Jerry does an expert job of shaping the light and shadows, keeping them soft, with beautiful transitions, and not having had edged shadows on the walls behind people.
Only my opinion here, but if you have to "look" for a shadow, then it is a good shadow. I'm being nit picky, but I often see in portrait forums where people keep wanting to kill the shadows. EMBRACE them. LOL.

You nailed it ... proper lighting gives dimension. The secret out of the studio is to get your subjects off the background.
