I have a confession to make. I may have acted as cool as a cucumber, but I was shaking in my boots (well, flats --they are much more comfy after being on your feet all day. But I digress...) at the thought of photographing this wedding!
I can't count the number of times I've heard wedding photographers (me included!) complaining over low light venues-- churches, reception halls, etc. Anyone who's been in the business, even for a short amount of time, knows the tricks of the trade. Diffuse the flash and if you're really lucky, you'll have a fairly low white ceiling to bounce the light off of.
But I had agreed to photograph a night wedding. Outside. Midnight. There was going to be no bouncing for this chick, no little tricks or cheats or anything. One chance, do it right or EVERYONE will know you messed up. Now I'm sure you can understand why I was as nervous as when I first started photographing wedding years ago!
That said, I am extremely pleased with how this turned out! Apple Blossom has DEFINITELY got a sweet setup for outdoor night weddings (isn't that gazebo gorgeous?).
Enjoy!
Check out these bouquets -- CANDLES! How awesome (and appropriate!) is that?
