I thought I’d show a little behind the scenes for a first dance at a wedding! This venue had big windows on the main floor that opened up to an outdoor area. I thought it would be fun to get some photos from the outside looking in, while my 2nd photographer took some from inside.
How it was done:
- I used 2 Godox AD200 flashes: one inside to camera left, and one inside to camera right.
- They are each on light stands, about 10 feet up so that I could get them far back.
Here is a diagram that shows the placement of the flashes:
And here is photo from the inside, showing where I was shooting from:
- Each flash has a MagMod MagGrid on it.
- They are pointed toward the couple, so that I could avoid lighting up too much of the room and other people, and to avoid glare/reflections. The grid also helps cut down on glare and reflections.
- My exposure without the flash was dark, so that the couple would really stand out and be illuminated by just the flashes.
Here is an example of how the photo looked before adding the flash:
