Hi all,
I shot this one in December at night time and technically it was by a long way the most difficult I've done. The bride and groom sat so far to the front that only the altar candles illuminated their faces (I made sure there were 20+). The altar area behind them was lit by sodium giving a strong magenta cast and the body of the church was lit by LED fairy lights giving orange highlights and deep green shadows. What's not to like? It was so dark that I was generally shooting at iso 5000 and 6400. I was using a 56mm (85-e) on a Fujifilm X-T1 and an x100s. The former sometimes struggled to lock in the cave-like lighting but the x100s was great and locked every time and was so quiet.
During the dances I had a Nissin i40 on a stand (slaved) and a small flash in hand for frontal lighting. To have got any photos at all seemed like a miracle and I know they printed fine for the book but not ideal for prints but I did the best I know.
All tips, CC etc gratefully received.
You can see in the first shot shadows on the wall how strong the light from the left was compared to the light from the right. They are only sat there for the signing - during 95% of the service they were only lit from the right!
