p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 2015 Thus Far


It's been a good start to 2015, with many more weddings than usual during these winter months. I'm really hoping for a great year after feeling stagnant last year. Over these past 7 weddings I've been trying to slow down, enjoy myself, use my magmod more and be more observant. I feel it's making a difference. Here is a little sampling of what I've been up to. C+C are welcome!

Very Nice! Are those your MagMods during the ceremony photos, #10 & #12? During first dances are you using MagMods on those lights?Or are they OCF without a MagMod?

Thanks! 10 & 12 are magmods. The lighting was so low and bounce flash would have killed the ambience. The dances are just diffused, no magmod.

Lots of gorgeous shots here. Great job! 27 is magical. Just curious, but why not light the couple in 14. It almost seems like a silhouette but they're not standing out above horizon. They're in the midst of buildings in that shot.

Hm, using MagMod during ceremony? This only works for a non-church deal I guess, but hey, it works. Nicely done.

I wouldn't use flash during ANY indoor ceremony. Too distractive. (During the processional and recessional it would be okay, though.)

The 2nd Image has a depth and richness of colour to it I haven't seen since the days of Medium format. Really hit me quite strongly with a sense of Dejavu.

Haven't done a wedding with 8 or even 6 bridesmaids in a loooong time either.
Did a fair few with 12 back in the day. Bloody stupidity I always thought. and not only that, they had a tribe of kids as well. As well as the logistical nightmare of the day, then there was the uncomfortable look of a bridal table that spread right across the front of the room and down the sides. Sometimes behind the first table or 2.

Don't miss that at all.

Good call. I wasn't able to get them above the horizon for this one, so it probably would have been better lit.

27 is one of my favorites too!

I've been using it during ceremonies a little more recently when it's really dark with nice amibiance. Not my preference, but it seems to work. Like Diggler said, I usually don't want to be distracting, but the mag mod is so focused that it's hardly noticeable when it goes off, unless you are looking into it.

Thanks guys!

@syracuse - I have a Canon 600ex off to the right gridded with a MagMod (no gel). The foreground is a round glass table that had candles on it. I spread the candles out a bit, made an opening and placed the couple about 20 feet away in the opening.

I got the ambient reading first and brought it down a few stops. Then I did the flash at probably 1/64 power or so and had it fall off out of the frame. The wb was flash to keep the orange glow of the candles.

Glad you like it!

Some of my favorite of your work for sure.

2- Clients will love it, however it looks like a Susan Stripling special, not a Mike Morby special. Be yourself, your "yourself" is pretty darn good.

5. Badass. A lot of people just take a ring, take a picture and don't think twice. Really enjoy a good one though.

6. Awesome idea.

7. My favorite of the set.

11. Love it.

14. This one sort of bugs me, I personally am of the opinion of either light em, or silhouette them. Not a huge fan of the awkward shadow.

15. So well done, technically this one is a badass shot, but the bride in the middle and all the girls around them laughing is sorta played out. I think I'd rather see one of them just smiling.

20. This is really awesome. I love them against the pinkish purple wall.

21. Gnarly.

24-25. Makes me want to shoot a bit more fisheye this year.

27. Great eye.

If this is what the dead winter months bring you, your gonna have a good year homie.

A wide range of emotions--very beautiful and sometimes funny. For some reason, my fav is actually the one with the wine glass in focus. It's an interesting take on the speech shot that I haven't seen.
