Starbuck Wedding - Leu Gardens






I'm still amazed at what two small lights can do to add depth and light to a photo. These were all shot in a dark reception hall and if I only used on camera flash by itself I would never be able to acheive the look these easy to use flashes produce. K2 on the go lighting from Kevin Keelan, check out his workshop to learn more. For all your techie folks, they were all shot at f/4 and 1/100 to 1/125 and iso 400. The results are so sweet, fun, and easy to acheive. Before using these extra lights I would photograph receptions at 1/30 to 1/60 at 2.8, would get good and occasionally very fun shots, but I would never be able to use my 70-200 sweet lens because it was just too long for dark rooms. Now it very rarely gets put down, and I have so much fun at receptions with it. These techniques can be used anytime anywhere to get consistently good images in all lighting situations. Thanks Shawn and Teresa for having me celebrate your 10 year reception renewal. It was wonderful.

I really like the warm feel of the first two images and the action shot of the grandmother/grandson. It is amazing how much those extra couple of lights add to your images Beautiful exposures, Scott!
